aka Paura nella città dei morti viventi. The Gates Of Hell. Fear In The City Of The Living Dead.
"The city of the dead. The living dead. A cursed city where the gates of hell have been opened."
A priest commits suicide in the cemetery of a small New England town. This prompts the opening of the gates of hell, allowing the dead to rise. A young psychic, Mary (Catriona MacColl), experiences visions of this and teams up with a hardened New York journalist Peter (Christopher George), to save the earth. Meanwhile in the town psychiatrist Gerry (Carlo De Mejo) and one of his patients Sandra (Janet Agren) realise that something weird is happening. Can they close the gates before the dead rise to kill the living?
Fulci's follow up to Zombie Flesh Eaters has a few memorable set pieces, using atmosphere as well as gore, tied together with the thinest of plots. Interesting and entertaining genre piece.
