HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD aka VIRUS aka APOCALIPSIS CANIBAL (1980) - New on Blu-ray & 4K Ultra HD

Hell Of The Living Dead 1980 New On Bluray And 4k

Product Description: What began as the epic global zombie apocalypse screenplay VIRUS by Claudio Fragasso & Rossella Drudi (SHOCKING DARK, ROBOWAR) became - via the inimitable vision of director Bruno Mattei (CRUEL JAWS, RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR) and a fraction of the original budget - this "gloriously ludicrous" (Confluence of Cult), "compulsively watchable" (Classic-Horror), "infamous zombie-chomp spectacular" (Braineater), now in UHD for the first time in America: When a top-secret biomedical project accidentally unleashes a catastrophic plague, a four-man commando team and a female reporter head into the jungle for an "absolutely insane" (B&S About Movies) experience in gratuitous nudity, grisly stock footage and ravenous hordes of flesh-eating zombies. Margie Newton (THE ADVENTURES OF HERCULES), Franco Garofalo (THE OTHER HELL) and a soundtrack 'borrowed' from Goblin star in "a must for all fans of Italian exploitation" (Cinezilla) - also known as VIRUS, NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES and ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH - now scanned in 4K from the original camera negative.
