5.0 out of 5 stars
Zombies and explicit sex, June 15, 2006
This review is from: Erotic Nights of the Living Dead (DVD)
NUDITY!!!We get hardcore oral male and female, penatration, the whole deal. The sex is even with one of the main charators not some spliced in porn. We get lots of naked Laura, and some other girl that spends pretty much the whole move in a bikini, topless, and even a fair amount of time bottom less, and several other full frontal nude girls. Also a girl has sex with a champagne bottle, real penatration, and the bottle pops its cork inside her, bubbles spill from her bush! It was strange to see hardcore full blown sex and then simulated softcore sex back to back. The sftcore seemed so tame after the hardcore.
The zombie stuff is fairly weak but still entertaining. The movie had a cool feel to it. I liked the boating, the seduction on the boat, the remote island.
I know alot of viewers are critical of this movie, but it is insanely original and there is nothing like it. That alone is worth something, besides all the sex and nudity. By itself you could give it 2 stars, but compare it other movies and its easily 5 star.

3.0 out of 5 stars
for the gutmuncher completist only..., June 30, 2004
This review is from: Erotic Nights of the Living Dead (DVD)
Oh good lord what can I say about this one. With Laura Gemser starring and Joe D'amato directing, this film feels like a lost entry in the Black Emmanuelle series, but in this one she plays a voodoo girl who keeps staring off the beach of Cat Island. Do not take this as a bad thing as D'Amato's camera loves Gemser and perhaps in this film it is apparent more than their others. George Eastman of 'Baba Yaga' stars in this one as a boat captain who is hired by this skeezy oversexed (you betcha!!) lawyer type to take him to the forbidden island with his tramp dujour. So Eastman (apparently still a Name in the cast because he gets to have all his sex with his clothes on) takes them out there where the living dead attack them. Okay, the zombies don't get as much screen time as the naked chicks, but with this kind of acting, like, who can tell the difference. Combining the hardcore market and the gutmuncher market is honestly one of the most misguided ideas in the history of film, so this one gets three stars just for being a carwreck of a film that you just know you have to slow down for. I will never look at a champagne bottle the same way again, and, like Jay Slater said in his book Eaten Alive, I could only wonder what had happened to the cork... The photography of the sex scenes leaves me with one lingering query: What would D'amato have achieved in the hardcore scene if he hadn't been so misogynistic? Also kudos to the overdubbing dept.--they didn't even match the cat's yowling with it's mouth!!

You Gasp! You Scream! You hit the Chapter/Skip Button!, September 19, 2004
I may not be the quintessential purveyor of Euro-Horror, but I have seen enough to know that I have seen one of of the worst in "Erotic Nights of the Living Dead!" That is not to say that this film is entirely uninteresting.
If money is no object, or you can pick this DVD up for a song, then the combination of eye candy, bad special effects and hysterical dubbing (anybody remember SCTV's "Rome, Italian Style" spoof from years ago? Dubbing wise, this is the real thing!)make this zombie movie fun to watch...for awhile. Cinema this bad can only last so long until you grab your DVD remote and speed up the process, or go to the main menu for the special features.
You have two men and a woman head out to "Cat Island," where zombies are purported to live. These folks don't believe the folktales, meet up with the only two inhabitants of the grave-riddled island (an elderly man with a boil on his forehead and his sultry granddaughter, played by Euro-Siren Laura Gemser), who warn the visitors to leave and... well, y'know.
What I found most shocking about the film was that the restored hardcore sex scenes advertised on the package were actually hardcore sex scenes, available in shops that refuse to sell XXX action. Now--- if this is the part you're curious about, it's only one hardcore scene, and probably tame compared to the other XXX you've seen. You get lots of soft-core, lots of beautiful women romping naked, but nothing worth shelling out hard cash for.
As for the Euro-Horror zombie flesh-chomping scenes, they are far and few between, and amongst the worst you will ever see!
The special features? The alternate scenes and the Laura Gemser gallery is so lame, you would swear the folks producing this DVD wanted to outdo the mediocrity of the film itself. The one good special feature is the trailers for other Euro-Horror films.
