silly movie

This movie was cheesy and awful but funny. It had some really gross sex scenes with this guy and he had bumps on his balls. Really great quality though with the filming. It didn't look as old as it is. But yeah it was pretty bad. June 2, 2008

A review from Zombiefans!

If there was as much zombie action in this movie as there was sex, this movie would be great!


1) ACTING: The acting was difficult to tell as the voices of the actors were dubbed. No one "appeared" to be a bad actor.

2) PRODUCTION: The movie was pretty good when it came to production values. There were a few lighting issues, but nothing too distracting. Not a whole lot of blood and gore in this movie. There is a scene that is pretty violently graphic, and then later, one of our heroes is being eaten by the zombies. The soundtrack wasn't bad, and the eerie organ music heightened the creepiness of the island. The old man and the girl on the island were never explained, but I'm guessing they were ghosts, even though the girl did get it on with both Larry, John AND Fiona.

3) ZOMBIES: The zombies in this one are definitely "Romero shamblers," even though where Romero's had problems walking, these were very steady in their pace. These zombies were very reminiscent of the Templar Knights movies, right down to the robes. They were in advanced stages of "rot," and varied from grotesque maggot covered peeling skin to simple gray faces with darkened eyes. They walked INCREDIBLY slow and weren't difficult to destroy. They did enjoy eating their victims.

4) THE CAUSE: No specific cause was given. The island suffered an earthquake, then an un-named epidemic, and there seemed to be some black magic and rituals involved as well.

5) NUDITY: There was SO much nudity and graphic sex in this movie, it was almost like watching a horror themed soft core porn movie. There was one hardcore scene (complete with money shot) and I wonder if all the sex was taken out of this movie, if it would be 40 minutes long! There also is an interesting champagne bottle scene that must be seen to be believed. (37 minutes in)



This movie was pretty much "okay," although it is a number of years old. Other than the sex, it is really mild for an Italian horror movie. Normally, there is blood galore, but not here. I wonder if the director purposely did this, and then filled the rest of the movie with lots of nudity and sex. I wouldn't recommend buying it, as after one viewing, you'll probably not need to (or want to) see it again. But, I don't really think there is anywhere around that this would be on a video store's rental shelf.

Mixed reviews, I'm in the middle

So the others on here seem to love or hate this movie.
I say watch the first 10 minutes(to establish plot points) and then skip to where they reach the island. With that you have a great movie. As much as I like porn, I think the hardcore and character development is what bogs the film down. If you jump to them arriving at the island this is a good italian style zombie flick with some great imagery. And of course, LAURA!

I haven't seen it, but this might be a case where the rated version is the better bet. Too much of a film can be a bad idea. Things are often cut for a reason. December 8, 2007

Zombies and Porn

Erotic Nights of the Living Dead aka Sexy Nights of the Living Dead (if you get the uncut version). Came out in 1980 and was filmed back to back with many other Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) classics like Porno Holocaust, Hard Sensations, and Porno Esotic Love. Erotic Nights of the Living Dead starred many Joe D'Amato originals (who are also all in the other three films above), Laura Gemser (Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals), George Eastman (Antropophagus), Dirce Funari (Unleashed Perversions of Emanuelle), Lucia Ramirez (Blue Paradise), and Mark Shannon (Emanuelle in the Country).

Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) did the Cinematography as well for the film. The script was written by actor George Eastman. Erotic Nights of the Living Dead in my mind was a very good film. it had violence, blood, gore, sex, and hard core penetration scenes. This is a most have for any Joe D'Amato (Aristide Massaccesi) fan or any one who likes zombie movie movies.

Special features for Erotic Nights of the Living Dead include:
Uncut Uncensored XXX Footage Restored!
Erotic Sunny Afternoons of the Living Dead (Alternate Footage)
Production Stills and a HOT and Steamy Laura Gemser Gallery!
Original Theatrical Trailer for the Movie!

Plot Line of the Movie: A hotel developer purchases a cursed tropical island where he plans to erect a luxury resort. Arriving on the god-forsaken island he finds opposition in the worm infested, flesh eating, walking corpses as they begin to rise from their graves.

Did you know: Erotic Nights of the Living Dead is among the rarest of all zombie/cannibal/sex films. This Joe D'Amato masterwork is chock full of gore FX, steamy and graphic eroticism, and an apocalyptic cannibal-zombie flesh feast you won't forget!
