Yet another in a seemingly endless list of post nuke flicks to emerge from Italy during the 1980's, this effort brought to us by director Joe D'Amato is one of the better results.
Al Cliver of Lucio Fulci's 'Zombi 2' fame (a.k.a Zombie Flesh Eaters) headlines here as the current champion in a Running Man style TV show. Whilst evading his hunters in one such contest he is propositioned by Laura Gemser (no not in THAT way!) to undertake a dangerous mission to provide safe passage across the wastelands for a number of telepathic mutants, herself included.
D'Amato handles the action scenes fairly well throughout with a number of rather exciting chases and battle sequences including one cool scene where our heroes are attacked by a large number of creepy looking, blind, black robed assailants who are utilising a telepath to enable them to 'see' their prey. Also of note are the very welcome appearances of a number of Italian B-movie regulars including George Eastman (yep, playing a villain once again!), the aforementioned and very beautiful Laura Gemser and Al Yamanouchi.
I must say I especially liked the open ending in this to - great stuff!
For fans of the post nuke genre, this is definitely well worth a look.
