Superb Italian zombie flick.
Alright, not a lot happens and what does doesn't make a lot of sense, but surely we expect that from this kind of movie.
The weird young boy, played by the 35 year old jockey(!) is one highlight (his breast feeding and eventual biting off of his own Mother's mammary gland being a particular favourite), but the main stars of the show are the zombie's, which are excellent:
Rotting flesh, worms dangling from eyeballs, these look horrid, just as a zombie should. Yeah, you could outrun them without a worry, but they would still terrify you to the very core of your being.
The music is excellent too.
One of my favourite zombie movies.
