Spencer film mainly for family-oriented interest.
Bud Spencer would seem a natural to play the genie, and the film is pleasant enough, with one or two of the signature fight scenes Spencer is famous for, but fans will find the film quite lacking in Bud's usual style of humor and toughness. Instead, he spends too much time on the sidelines, nodding approval to his son (playing the Aladdin character). For the real classics from Bud Spencer, check out "Crime Busters," "Go For It," and "Odds and Evens!" ... Read more

The stunts are good!
Mad Max is the inspiration for this film as the characters drive around in souped up cars with extra bits stuck on them. It's no worse or better than other films of it's genre and there are some exciting moments. The stunts are good, but you'd have to be prepared to sit through dubbed dialogue, so-so acting and dull music. One for the collectors.

Movie is good, but has a few plot flaws.
I remember when this movie would be on the FOX network all the time during the eighties. Usually it was the Saturday afternoon movie. I thought that this movie was alright but had a few plot flaws. First, it is clearly stated in the movie title that this is the year 3000. Thats more than a 1000 years from now, yet people are driving vehicles from the sixties and seventies including an old Ford Torino and a 1970 Chevy pickup? Where is everybody getting the fuel for these vehicles? Also the boy who escapes from the convoy of vehicles looking for water after it is attacked has a super bionic arm. There is no other evidence of this "super technology" anywhere. Just evidence that this movie had a low budget, was made in the early eighties, and was made either in Italy or just by Italians. You can tell because the movie is dubbed and most of the names are Italian. But overall this flick is alright for a "movie for a rained out baseball game" kind of afternoon. ... Read more

Poor amount of gore
Being a big fan of this genre of films, and Lucio Fulci. I expected much more from this film and was sadly dissapointed. It is very slow to get started, and there is actually very small amounts of gore. Although the head drilling scene is horrific, and one of the worst scenes that i have evr seen in a movie, very little else happens. The film struggles, and for a Zombie film there is a distinct lack of zombie action. I am a massive fan Zombie, and have just purchased the beyond and New York Ripper, and of all the Fulci films, City of the Living Dead is a poor effort

Very Slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
This movie was EXTRMELY slow but not to the point where it got boring but at times it really did. I was very upset about the gore scenes. The Gut spewing was good but the brain sqeeze and the ehad drill well wasnt very appeling. Everyone says "his brains are getting drilled out" when it is clearly through the top of his cheek. But there was some scenes that didnt make this bad. The movie gives you a dreadful feeling, which is very effective because movies arent like that these days.

Rated X for some repulsve gore and general creepyness

3 stars at best
Absolutely no sense can be made from this, but that is like so many other horror movies. The end makes you say "huh?" Their are much better Italian horror/zombie movies out there.

Good, could be better
Fulci's work is often misunderstood. I for one, love this movie, but this one is not fulcis best. None of it made sense, but if youre a fan of his films and campy eurohorror flicks, you'll love it regardless. I love the "intestine vomiting" and "drill" scenes. Those are classic. Also, I liked the "coffin rescue" scene. The plot... oh I forgot, there really isnt one. But, thats really dosent matter with a Fulci film. You have to have an open mind to understand his work. Its not just about endless violence and gore, theres much more to it. The lighting in this movie got annoying...The soundtrack sounded like Zombie's, but it still had the same haunting qualities. Especially the acoustic guitar, that added to it. These movies dont scare me really, but Im just a big fan of the genre. Put down "Scream" or "Haloween" and go pick up a copy of this.

Don't be fooled by fans of this garbage
Lucio Fulci might have made great films (that I haven't seen), but this sure as hell isn't one of them.

Not much of a story. Priest hangs himself and somehow opens up the gates of Hell and zombies slowly begin to squirm out and kill innocent townsfolk. The police nor the victim's families can understand the crime scenes but are sure that Bob, a rumored sex offender, must be the perpetrator of these bizarre deaths. Then a young woman and a reporter set out to find the city where the dead are awakening before All Saints Day, when a whole bunch of zombies will walk.

This movie is a major bore. The music score drags tediously through the death scenes, eliminating the possibility of a legitimate scare. Then the gore is so sloppy, that what many fanatics regard as intensely shocking, is just laughable and ineffective in enducing real nausea. Though, the same can't be said for the performances in the film. I did remember feeling queasy during nearly all dialogue-driven sequences (save some mild inconsequentials with Mary and the washed-up journalist).

To put it bluntly, there is a part of you (all those of you who are sane) who will wish you were being drilled yourself then endure the torture of having to watch this film. The only visceral quality in any way related to it is the contempt you'll feel for it, and especially for it's creator. ... Read more
