The Gates of Hell
A small town is becoming the open gates of Hell, and some of the townsfolk are being killed and zombified. Only a reporter, a shrink, a psychic and a child can stop it. The story was well layed out, and had a nice aray a characters. And don't forget about the death scenes! We get brains being squished, and in one scene someone throwing up thier own intestines! Nifty. It was writen and directed by Lucio Fulci who also brought us Zombie. Check it out! 5 out of 5.
