5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, if not long gory glory. Fulci is the King of gore., January 24, 1999

This review is from: Gates of Hell Part II: Dead Awakening [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although the plot is fairly inadequete ( I had to watch the end 4 times 'til I got it), the direction,music and gore are at Fulci's best and really makes up for incoherencies in the plot with excellent gore. My video is knackered from playing the end sequence on my video, although it wound me up that I didn't get it first time round, the finale is a classic Fulci. I love the title/end music, so well organised. Fellow gore lovers, E mail me with your oppinons and I will get back to you.

The best of para-normal Lovecraftian horror. Not only a MUST for all thespians of gore but also one of the creepiest movies ever!The ending promises to make your mind twist and turn as the protagonists enter...OOPS!I almost revealed the most mystic ending in movie history...SEE IT NOW!

This review is from: Gates of Hell Part II: Dead Awakening [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have to begin this by saying that this Is Not a Lucio Fulci movie. In fact, it has nothing to do with Lucio whatsoever except in the "shrewd marketing," copying of a successful title department. This is actually a very low budget movie directed by G.D. Marcum, and says that it is "dedicated to the memory of Lucio Fulci" on the back. ... So, keeping it brief because of its paper-thin plot and lack of effects, I'll break it down.
This is your basic "good vs. evil" tale that, according to the back of the movie, involved an "occult group that initiates its members into joining the Darkness of Death" fighting against a group of people who seek out those who make sacrifices to other gods besides Yahweh and kill them. During all of this, our main character's sister goes missing and she enlists an officer to help her after work. There are a few deaths to pad the bad acting, lack of gore/lack of effects, and there are a few moments of humor thrown into an otherwise jumbled ball of sometimes incomprehensible dialect and badly intertwining storyline transitions. I think some of the music woke me up for some of the highlights of the movie, too.
Now, I'm going to give it 2 stars simply because a 1 means it belongs in the Cinema Sewer. Its not that bad, but you really, really, really have to like really cheap movies with no real monster shots (and a few zombie shots) to enjoy this. Maybe I should have been medicated first.
