Watched this film expecting something along the lines of "Hell of the Living Dead", you know a zombie movie that is not very good, but kind of fun to watch. Something with some good gore, stupid characters and a lot of zombies. This only met the stupid person criteria, as they had those aplenty. For the most part though this film moved slowly and was boring. There were a couple of kills, but nothing spectacular as they did one eyeball gouging twice and there was not much gore beyond that. The film has a man appropriately named Dick. You will never know what the heck Dick was trying to accomplish in this film as he is just what his name says. He wants to attend a ceremony for reasons that are known of our business, or they may have been and I just could not hear them because at times you could not understand anything anyone was saying. Well he sees the ceremony and the next day heads out with his sister and her boyfriend and they end up stranded at a house where Dick promptly raises the dead for obscure reasons. You know what happens then right? Hordes of zombies come crashing the house devouring the occupants! No, not quite, as these zombies are the most tepid, slow and boring zombies ever brought upon the silver screen! At one point it looks as if the zombie is going to stab some guy and he backs off twice when it hears something. What zombie backs off from an attack? The boring zombies of Black Demons, that is who! Seriously, all the people could have escaped with the exception of a girl who seemed to think that the best defense against zombies is to back oneself into a corner screaming "no!" rather than running. They also almost drove away till the driver drives the car off the road and into a ditch and it sure looked like he planned that one let me tell you! So a very slow moving zombie film, with slow moving zombies and very slow characters. Very little gore and no nudity worth speaking of, an utter disappointment to say the least. I expect more cheese in an Italian zombie film.

A bad movie almost bad enough to be good, but not quite bad enough to be worth recommending.Sonia is missing. Her boyfriend Jose thinks that maybe she went to town, but when she doesn't come back, he's pretty sure something bad happened.But then Jose finds... one of Sonia's shoes! Now he knows something has happened to her."Maybe she changed her shoes," suggests Kevin, a cooler head.They go to her room, and find another pair of her shoes."You see!" Jose exclaims. "These are the only other shoes she had! Are you convinced now?""Yeah," Kevin says. "She wouldn't have gone to the village barefooted."These utterly ridiculous, idiotic scenes are meant to be taken seriously. That's the sort of movie you're in for -- accidental comedy. If you can appreciate a film on that level, this is the film for you.Worse than the dialogue is the pacing. The movie is as slow as the stumbling zombies of the film -- and these zombies have chains around their ankles. Everything is very predictable, and we're left waiting around for the next moment of gore to show up. The actors are constantly flubbing their lines -- but not in a particularly interesting way. Just stuttering slightly as they deliver ridiculous, stilted dialogue.For a horror movie, there isn't much blood. Or fear. Or tension. Or horror. Or movie.

Two Americans and an English man brake down while driving in Brazil. They meet a couple & stay at a cursed house. Then the "Black Demons" (or to the politically correct "African-American living-challenged), who are dead former slaves stick it to the Man by killing Whitey (how's THAT for reparations??!!?). But not before one of the guys gets a necklace from a voodoo tribe for no reason. The acting is putrid at best and some ok death scenes can't liven up this jumbled mess. My Grade: DShriekshow DVD Extras: Interviews with Umberto Lenzi (where he denies making any Zombie movies, prompting anyone who saw this or "Nightmare City" to exclaim "Whatever Umberto") and Olga Pehar; Theatrical Trailer; Trailers for "Killing Birds", "Zombie 2", "Zombie 3", and "zombie 4"

This extremely cheap "sequel" to Lamberto Bava's two well crafted 'Demoni' movies (even though only the first one really rocked) has absolutely nothing to do with them. Umberto Lenzi tries to do the best out of a rather old fashioned story about voodoo rituals that - yes - wake the dead. So the demons are rather zombies, but they don't eat their victims - they just split their skulls with axes and/or gouge out their eyes with hooks (ah yeah, and once they also use a pitchfork).Very similar (concerning production values and gore scenes; and in a way also concerning the story) to Lenzi's made for cable cheapo 'Le Porte dell'Inferno' two years earlier. Horror fans might like this one, but everybody else won't have a good time with this, I suppose.
