#28: City of the Living Dead (A-)

Starts with the word "Dunwich". Is this the same as Dunwich Horror?

First 2 scenes make me think this is going to be a classic! Another Lucio Fulci. Man, why am I giving him so much play? Also, I'm impressed with the intro music - I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was Goblin on the mic. That opening scene had awesome music! Even the sound effects are good so far!
Here are some awesome things to look for:
  • Dancing/disappearing fire, 2x (??).
  • Automatic blowup doll followed directly by small, veiny, crazy, wormy, half-moving corpse (yes, I like horror flicks - sorry if this description disgusts you, it's just a movie. Hoping those horror fans jump on).
  • Cat scene.
  • Worms, worms, and more worms. Worm sandwich!
  • Holy crap! Eye blood??? What is she puking? What the hell? Worms? no, maybe organs? Eels? Huh? Totally classic! Oooooooooooooh!!!
  • HOLY DRILL!! This is up there with the top scenes!
  • That's not snow!!
This is definitely a 70's acting movie, made (or released) in 1980. Highly enjoyed. Recommended for those who like classic horror....! Plot leaves a bit to the wings, but the crazy horror scenes make up for it. Good job Fulci! (it was not Goblin)
