The living dead, evoked this time by a strange researcher who desecrated their graves, attack some guests of a large villa immersed in the woods, leaving no survivors. The director, with an astonishing inability, makes the actors say and do things that would make even the most serious story in the world ridiculous, crafting some trash anthology sequences: like the scene of the "excited" child (played by a sixteen-year-old physically disabled boy, even defined by one of the film's protagonists as "a mix between a dwarf and a mess") who bites off his mother's breast or that of the two lovers who, at the sight of a horde of hungry zombies attacking them, calmly start making comments about the appearance of the zombies themselves. A film absolutely worth seeing if you are lovers of trash or at least if you want to laugh your head off. The special effects, the only decent thing about the film, are handled by the "mythical" Giannetto De Rossi. The film is also known by the title "The Nights of Terror". In conclusion, it is not known what rating to give it: in trash, it is a masterpiece, in horror a mess, but, given that the director's intention was (at least it is believed) to direct a horror film, the judgment is inevitable...
