City of the Living Dead - Limited Edition Blu Ray

WOE BE UNTO HIM WHO OPENS ONE OF THE SEVEN GATEWAYS TO HELL, BECAUSE THROUGH THAT GATEWAY, EVIL WILL INVADE THE WORLD! From the Italian godfather of gore, Lucio Fulci, comesCity of the Living Dead, a notoriously nauseating, compellingly corporeal masterpiece of apocalyptic zombie horror! A medium has a mysterious vision of a priest hanging himself... A seemingly dead woman awakes screaming in her coffin... And in the sleepy New England town of Dunwich, a local girl vomits up her intestines and a town misfit has a drill-bit ploughed into his cranium... These hallucinogenic,... often grotesque visions punctuate a skeletal story telling of a reporter (Christopher George,The Exterminator, Pieces) and a psychic (Catriona MacColl, The House by the Cemetery, The Beyond) who must race against time to prevent hordes of rotting corpses spewing forth from the gates of hell... Stridently going beyond the classical stylings of his horror hit Zombie Flesh Eaters, City of the Living Deadsees Fulci eschew conventional narrative logic in favour of a delirious, oneiric mode of storytelling which stresses style, surrealism and atmosphere (as well as offering up bucket-loads of brains, blood and guts!) Presented here in an exclusive 4K restoration with a wealth of extras, Fulci's gore-drenched classic can now be devoured as never before!
