Gruesome horror comic with effective moments; the director was still doing the same schtick ten years later. One of the most influential, and most imitated, of modern horror movies.

They're coming for you, Barbara...
This is an essential piece of Cinema. The film that coined the expression 'Video Nasty'. Ok, so it looks a bit dated now, the acting's a bit hammy, but it was made in 196bloody8!

A bit rough round the edges, but the story is there and it has all the elements of a good zombie film.
If you like zombie films and want to see where it all began, give this a look -
