Hell of the Living Dead (also known as Night of the Zombies, Virus, or Zombie Creeping Flesh) is a 1980 Italian-Spanish zombie horror film written by Claudio Fragasso and directed by Bruno Mattei.In Papua New Guinea, secret research laboratories called "Hope Centers" work to help feed impoverished nations... or so they claim. Unfortunately, one of the labs' projects, Operation Sweet Death, has a chemical leak that causes the facility—and the country—to be overrun by zombies.The film is largely known for its plagiarism of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead, with characters wearing similar uniforms to the heroes of Romero's film, as well as using some of its music, although much of Hell of the Living Dead's soundtrack also came from the Alien rip-off Contamination, which like Dawn was scored by Goblin. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Hell of the Living Dead / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: New Guinea is a third world country in the first place, and the organization providing foreign aid is actually wanting to unleash a zombie gas to stop overpopulation. Then the gas leaks, and the country goes full Zombie Apocalypse. The ending shows that the zombie plague is spreading to the rest of the world. | |

World of Ham: As pointed out in this video review, all the performances are blown up to pantomime proportions, with the acting making that in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta look natural by comparison. Zantoro in particular is especially hammy. | |
