City of the Living Dead

I haven't seen that much Lucio Fulci. I should work on that. This one's a doozy. They throw everything in. And of course it makes no sense but hey that doesn't matter really as long as there's some good gore.  This one has quite the drill scene... And a lot of maggots...

So I don't really know if there are zombies in this film or ghosts. Or ghost zombies. The rules are never really established and these zombies appear and disappear like ghosts. The don't seem to want to eat brains, they just want to squish them with their hands, which they do, repeatedly.

There's some Lovecraftian references, there's magic and fortune telling and the zombie ghosts commanded by this evil priest dude that looks a bit like Christopher Lee as Dracula. It's a confusing mess and has some hilariously bad dialogue but I guess that's part of the fun too.
