    • Trivia
      Director Umberto Lenzi was disappointed when he saw the leading lady Sonia Curtis arrive for the film. He wanted a gorgeous actress for the role and felt she was too plain and not attractive enough for the part, resulting in Lenzi treating her badly during filming.

    Typical low budget horror, with no surprises.
    A bad movie almost bad enough to be good, but not quite bad enough to be worth recommending.

    Sonia is missing. Her boyfriend Jose thinks that maybe she went to town, but when she doesn't come back, he's pretty sure something bad happened.

    But then Jose finds... one of Sonia's shoes! Now he knows something has happened to her.

    "Maybe she changed her shoes," suggests Kevin, a cooler head.

    They go to her room, and find another pair of her shoes.

    "You see!" Jose exclaims. "These are the only other shoes she had! Are you convinced now?"

    "Yeah," Kevin says. "She wouldn't have gone to the village barefooted."

    These utterly ridiculous, idiotic scenes are meant to be taken seriously. That's the sort of movie you're in for -- accidental comedy. If you can appreciate a film on that level, this is the film for you.

    Worse than the dialogue is the pacing. The movie is as slow as the stumbling zombies of the film -- and these zombies have chains around their ankles. Everything is very predictable, and we're left waiting around for the next moment of gore to show up.

    The actors are constantly flubbing their lines -- but not in a particularly interesting way. Just stuttering slightly as they deliver ridiculous, stilted dialogue.

    For a horror movie, there isn't much blood. Or fear. Or tension. Or horror. Or movie.
