I picked up this DVD on a whim basically. I was at a used CD store looking for a nice old zombie movie when i saw "Hell Of The Living Dead" for $5.99. The price was right so i figured i couldn't loose.
*****SOME SMALL SPOILERS AHEAD*****
I understand the "Dawn of the Dead" comparison. But the end about 20 minutes into the film (other than the score).
The acting comes close to crap but it is hard to judge when the voice has been over dubbed. The main problems i had with the film are as follows:
1) Slow paced. Once they hit the village, we get about 10 minutes of stock footage very poorly cut in with the film. I didn't need to see that damn monkey jumping in slow motion 3 times.
2) What was driving these characters? ##BIG SPOILER## Let me get this straight. 4 swat team members were dispatched to rip up and burn 2 sheets of paper?! I get why the reporters are there but come on.
Other than the above i liked it a lot. Great score, nice gore, unnecessary nakedness. Lia probably has one of the most violent deaths i've seen in a while.
The movie is worth at least renting if you're a zombie fan. i'd say it's slightly better than Day of the Dead
