Wissenswertes
Stock footage from the film Gesichter des Sterbens (1974) was used for the native scenes.

Some of the animals featured in the stock footage aren't indigenous to New Guinea.

Zitate
Technician #1: She may not know much about chemistry, but in bed, her reactions are terrific.
Technician #2: I'm not surprised with that cute little ass.
Technician #1: I'm a tit man, myself.

Alternative Versionen
Vestron Home Video's release, around 1985, of the picture, under the title Night Of The Zombies, was the same print used by Creature Features for home video tape in 1996. Creature Features added a brief card to the tail end of the closing credits for its copyright. This exact same print, even including the Creature Features copyright card, was used by Cydonia Pictures for its Night Of The Zombies DVD release in 2002. The same year, Anchor Bay Entertainment, released a cleaned up DVD under the title Hell Of The Living Dead. All of these Night Of The Zombies versions are identical, save for the inserted Creature Features copyright card. The film print is the infamous one known for being too dark, due to numerous copies being made, and, thus nearly impossible to tell a lot of what is going on in the film.

"Come on you dumb vegetables and get cooked!"

Is this movie great?

Hardly.

Is it enjoyable?

Actually, yes.

It's dumb, lame and borrows heavily from Dawn of the Dead (including a pilfering of its Goblin scoring). But fans of the Italian gutmunchers should be, at least, bemused by the Italian SWAT team that heads to New Guinea (why them, who knows?) to investigate... something. Turns out a cute nude reporter and her Frank Zappa-looking cameraman are there, too. Soon, the carnage starts as zombies and stock footage galore attack cast and audience members without mercy.

Acting ranges from non-existent to overdone (with nothing in between). With a little creativity, one could turn the stock footage scenes into a drinking game. Still, this movie holds a special place in my heart as one of my first Italian zombie films.

Recommended only for fans of the genre and MST3K-wannabes.
