Synopses for Hell of the Living Dead (1980)
1.
This impossibly bad zombie/cannibal movie could only have been filmed by Bruno Mattei, the laughably inept director of films like SS EXTERMINATION LOVE CAMP and RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR. The plot centers around a New Guinea chemical accident that attracts the attention of a SWAT team and a buxom reporter (Newton). When the SWAT team finally penetrates the chemical cloud, they find a race of flesh eating zombies hungry for fresh human food. Full of gratuitous nudity, stock footage of natives, animals, rotting corpses, and inane dialogue, HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD is a hilarious attempt at recreating the magic of the films that inspired it (DAWN OF THE DEAD, ZOMBIE, ZOMBIE HOLOCAUST).

An accident at a chemical plant unleashed a horrific virus, and an elite SWAT team is sent to New Guinea to investigate. But when they arrive on the hellish island, they discover a plague of flesh-eating zombies as well as a beautiful female reporter who practices nude anthropology. Can the commandos survive this cannibal rampage, uncover a shocking government secret and still find time for occasional cross-dressing before the ravenous hordes of the living dead infect the entire world?
Directed by the notorious Bruno Mattei (Rats: Night of Terror, Emmanuelle in Prison and SS Extermination Love Camp), this '80s Italian gut-muncher is infamous for its eye-popping gore, jaw-dropping dialog and heart-stopping use of inappropriate stock footage. Also known as Virus, Night of the Zombies and Even Zombie Creeping Flesh, Hell of the Living Dead has been transferred from original negative materials and is now presented completely uncut and uncensored for the first time ever.
