Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This value-for-money Zombie Double Feature is billed as "Flesh Creepers, Volume 1", and offers a double billing of George A Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Steve Sekely’s rather less fondly remembered Revenge of the Zombies (1943).

Night of the Living Dead is a masterpiece, but it has also slipped through a copyright loophole which means it has been issued on video and DVD by a great many distributors in as many variant versions. This one isn’t ruined by colorisation or dodgy new footage as a couple of rival releases are, but it is soft-looking print, free of censor cuts but very washed-out-looking. The background notes inexcusably get the date of the film wrong, crassly tagging it "think Blair Witch 1964", and mention the existence of extras-filled special DVD editions, which rather rubs in the fact that this no-frills effort has none of the commentaries or documentaries found on other releases.

Revenge of the Zombies is a sluggish hour-long wartime B-picture, with John Carradine underplaying for once as a Nazi scientist creating an army of zombies (ie: a handful of shuffling extras) in the Louisiana swamplands. Comedy relief Mantan Moreland has the best moments and the trudging-around-the-backlot zombies ("things walkin’ ain’t got no business to be walkin’") are fun, but it isn’t especially good of its kind.

On the DVD: The Zombie Double Feature presents both films in "horrorscope", which means letterboxing and blurry image. The only extra is a list-like essay about the habits of flesh-eating zombies in Romero films.--Kim Newman



Synopsis

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this for night of the living dead. its great., 18 Nov 2004
By Joey Tempest (HooHaa, Pacino Land) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night Of The Living Dead / Revenge Of The Zombies [DVD] [1943] (DVD)
I have never bothered to look at Revenge of the Zombies. I can't get past Night of the Living Dead whenever i put the disc in. The film is that good. It is simply one of the greatest films ever made period, it is the film that defined the zombie genre and also gave the film world its first black male as a lead.
The film is excellent, from the photography to the performances to the excellent mood music George A. Romero's debut feature is a stone cold classic.
This DVD on the ohter hand is not. And that is why it loses a star in this review. The picture on this disc can be very poor in places, especially when the camera makes fast movements. but other than that its all good.
This film is already available on many other formats and labels but this is the first one I ever bought. Night is available as part of the Trilogy of the Dead box set but unfortuneatley someone did a George Lucas on it and added in really crap scenes filmed in 1998, and this feature can detract from the film more so than dodgy picture quality. So my advice is if you want to own Night of the Living Dead then buy a cheap disc like this first then get Trilogy of the Dead, because even if it can be a pain on the eyes, you still cannot beat this 100% Classic original. And you never know Revenge of the Zombies might be good too.
