Viewing Notes
For a long time I would’ve considered this my favorite Fulci movie mostly due to my history with it and nostalgia. But having seen it a couple times on the big screen in recent years along with his The Beyond I now lean more towards The Beyond being my favorite Fulci horror movie. If I saw his Zombie again I’d probably favor that one over those two.
My favorite thing in this movie is the score. Fabio Frizzi really nails the mood in this. I’d love to own this score.
It was very cool to see this Gates of Hell 35mm print again. Grainy and scratchy but perfect for this event.
