Hell of the Living Dead (1x422)

: 31, 2024

Hell of the Living Dead is an Italian zombie movie, so you know you’re in for lots of cheesy gore, sexy ladies, confusing stereotypes, and a score by the band Goblin. (Actually, we hear this movie borrowed most of its score from Dawn of the Dead, but that’s Goblin’s business, not ours). After a rat-based chemical mishap at something called a Hope Center, people start turning all zombified and chowing down on human types. It’s a failure of an ecological program called “Operation Sweet Death.” Man, who could’ve guessed something bad might happen with “Operation Sweet Death”? From there, we follow an elite squad of commando jerks as they face off against some random terrorists who are decidedly NOT zombies. Then they’re off to the jungle which, thankfully, is totally PACKED with zombies. The commandos work their way through some problematic tribal zombie situations, and naturally a woman spends an entire scene topless for no good reason.
