I wonder if, with zero research being done at this moment, the Zombie series has an entry directed by every known Italian horror schlockmeister? Its a bit of a long list, but also it can be short depending how you define it. Jess Franco, Bruno Mattei, Lucio Fulci are three big ones, most lists would include them. Michele Soavi, Lamberto Bava, Claudio Fragasso, these guys would appear on some lists but not all... anyways, interesting to think about.
Also known as Virus, Night of the Zombies, Zombie Creeping Flesh, Zombie Inferno, and lots of others including Zombie 4.
I'm lucky I chose Zombie as a series, because really I am almost done with this as a series number one, but number two the films listed as connecting to Night of the Living Dead is way bigger than the Zombie series. Nope, not starting that. In fact I don't know what's next for me, but it will certainly be something different.
Hell of the Living Dead is pretty low on the totem pole as far as these things go. They could not afford Goblin to make a new soundtrack so they simply lifted songs from other movies. They spliced in footage from a documentary about Indonesia to make it seem more real... It was basically not really trying.
That said, its not highly differentiated from several of these other Zombie movies. It has decent effects, it has female nudity, it has cannibals and zombies both, in a plot extremely similar to Zombie Holocaust. Eh, I mean, you could do worse...could certainly do better but could do worse.
