Another one that I have not seen. Although I know this particular sub-genre of zombie send-ups well. No one, but no one makes zombie movies like the Italians! This one was directed byBruno Mattei, who is better known under the assumed name of Vincent Dawn here stateside (actually he had a number of AKA for himself, one, it seems, for each country that he worked...). He is well known here for Rats (1984), he also directed 1/2 of Zombi 3. Additionally he directed a fare number of Spaghetti Westerns, most after the genre had fallen out of general favor.
This was first titled Virus, not to be confused with the Jamie Lee Curtis' gore-filled sci-fi flop of 1999. The name was then changed to Night of the Zombie for VHS distribution, and finally ended up with it's current title for DVD release. I look forward to it!
Oh man! I'm diggin' on that synthesizer music!!!
