Another good zombie movie from Italy, a country seemingly obsessed by the Living Dead, and for that they are to be commended.

This time around, a chemical leak in a scientific area in a Papau New Guinea jungle causes the scientists present to turn into….you guessed it....flesh eating zombies! A group of military types and a plucky female reporter go into the area to see what is going on, and are startled to discover that there are marauding packs of brain eaters, and now they know there is fresh meat in the area, the groups lives are placed in clear jeopardy.

An intriguing and well crafted horror, from the prime period for Italian horror.
I liked it a lot.
