Hell Of The Living Dead (1980) (4K UHD + Blu-ray)

You can’t beat an Italian zombie movie and here’s one of the best, looking yuckier than ever in this sensational 4K UHD presentation.

There’s been a nasty outbreak of the living dead in Papua New Guinea and it’s up to an intrepid reporter (Margit Evelyn Newton), her cameraman (Gaby Renom) and an on hand squad of commandoes to find out why – and to try and stop it. There are disgusting special effects, some unexpected adversaries (a zombie rat, a zombie child and a zombie granny!) plus head-shots galore: truly, a film with something for everyone. Co-written by Claudio Fragrasso (inspired auteur of Troll 2) and directed by exploitation ace Bruno Mattei (Rats: Night of Terror; Violence in a Women’s Prison), 88 Films are proud to present this classic of family entertainment full-blooded shocker in all its gory glory!
