Another great Arrow restoration from a 4K scan. Recommended to any Zombie fans out there! Very pleased with this one.

"City of the Living Dead" will divide people into two groups, ones who love it because of the amazing gore and make-up, and ones who hate it because of the wafer-thin plot and poor script. Besides the terrible story-line, the rest of the film's features make up considerably for its flaws. Zombies rip off the backs of people's heads and squeeze brains out, a poor innocent lad has a drill through his skull (very realistic!) and a girl vomits up her own guts while crying tears of blood! The atmosphere is thick with horror and fear, and the gore will make you grimace at the least. Fulci pulls out all the stops here, upping the gore factor to new heights of blood-soaked terror and awfulness! Indeed, the Director has outdone himself! Some of the sequences are extreme, even by today's standards! However, it's the heavy, death-filled atmosphere hanging over the whole project that makes this a classic of the genre. There's simply no light to be found. Anywhere! Nothing is sacred, and no one is safe. An unpleasant, unsettling experience to say the least! For lovers of gruesome, apocalyptic doom. My rating 8 out of 10.
