City of the Living Dead

City of the Living Dead is heralded as some great zombie movie. It's not. I'm not even certain it's a zombie movie at all. Zombies don't levitate, they don't teleport, and they don't cause people to vomit up their intestines by giving them the stink eye. Zombies eat people. Finicky zombies eat people brains. The "zombies" in COTLD only eat, like, one person.

Now, certainly, I'll grant that the gut-puking was pretty cool, but the other 87 minutes really, truly, suck. Give this movie a pass.
