| Lamberto Bava directed this Dario Argento produced gorefest
in 1985. The premise is quite simple. A group of people gather in a new
movie house called The Metropolis" to view a film. We are (slightly) introduced
to the characters and the movie (in the Metropolis) begins. The folks
are watching a movie about demons when the events portrayed in the film
start happening for real, right there in the theater. From there on out
we have what is basically an Italian zombie movie (if you are bitten you
become one) with the normal people trapped inside the Metropolis protecting
themselves against the demons. I'll be the first to admit that there is
not too much of a plot to this film. But hey, plot is not what this is
all about. The film maintains a level of excitement continually, there
is never a dull moment. Add to this some stunning visuals, cool special
effects by Sergio Stivaletti, and a rocking soundtrack featuring Motley
Crue, Accept, Billy Idol, Claudio Simonetti (of Goblin) and others. All
in all this is simply a fun film to watch. Enjoy the captures from the
movie! |
