City of the Living Dead (1980) • Discape

“The dead shall rise and walk the earth”

City of the Living Dead (1980) begins when a priest’s suicide opens the gates of Hell, unleashing a wave of undead terror on a small New England town. A psychic and a journalist race against time to close the portal before All Saints’ Day brings about the apocalypse. This nightmarish horror blends Lovecraftian dread, gruesome imagery, and Fulci’s signature atmosphere of decay and despair.
