Starring: Patrick Magee, Mimsy Farmer, David Warbeck, Al Cliver, Dagmar Lassander, Bruno Corazzari, Geoffrey Copleston, Daniela Doria

 Supposedly, this film is based on the Edgar Allan Poe story, but the title is about the only thing in common with Poe's work. A wheelchair-bound psychic (Patrick Magee) talks to the dead and to his cat and sends the cat out to take care of his enemies. But who is really in control–the cat or the man? Gore is mild by Lucio Fulci standards.

 Move over Fulci and Romero, another zombie rip-off has hit the screen in this rotten flick with rotting, maggot-encrusted zombies. The zombies are released from their crypt and, of course, they are VERY hungry. That neat party over there would provide a wonderful feast. The acting is so bad (and the English-dubbing is even worse) that the characters deserve to be eaten. Still, it's somewhat fun to watch the gore.

Starring: John Saxon, Elizabeth Turner, Giovanni Lombardo Radice, Cinzia De Carolis, Tony King, Wallace Wilkinson, Ramiro Oliveros, John Geroson, May Heatherly, Ronnie Sanders

 Green Beret Captain Norman Hopper (John Saxon) rescues two of his men who are POWs in Vietnam and finds them eating human flesh.

It turns out that he had contracted a virus in Vietnam, and now his cannibalism is spreading throughout the community. Norman, who was bitten when he made the rescue, is also in trouble. Typical of Italian filmmaker Antonio Margheriti's work.

Director: Lucio Fulci    More Info
Starring: Christopher George, Catriona MacColl, Carlo De Mejo, Antonella Interlenghi, Daniela Doria, Janet Agren, Robert Sampson, Michele Soavi, Venantino Venantini

 "Extreme Gore" would be an apt title for this Lucio Fulci offering as people attempt to close the gates of Hell after the gates had been opened by a priest who hung himself. The story is not important–it's the blood that counts. I think I liked the drill through the head the best (or was it the upchucking of intestines?).
