Hell of the Living Dead/Virus (1980) 5 out of 10 stars ⭐

I need to preface this review with the fact, that when I watched this, I almost died. I have a nerve disorder that disrupts my heartbeat, and can cause unconsciousness or death. So, I'm watching along, thoroughly enjoying the weirdness (and it is weird), and then I have an attack. I'm floating on the edge of death, and the movie starts showing bizarre b-role of animals that aren't native to where the movie takes place. I'm not sure if it's me, or if it's really as strange as it seems. 

Then, out of nowhere, and for no apparent reason, Lia Rousseau (Margie Newton) sheds her clothes, and dons some freakish face and body paint. Now I'm sure it's got to be the oxygen deprivation, because we've gone from an Italian zombie movie, to...I have no idea. It's not that it wasn't enjoyable, I laughed hysterically several times, but if you're looking for a standard zombie movie, look elsewhere. If you're looking for something completely low-budget bizarre, then, hey, dive right in!

Closing Notes: Hey horror fanboys, if you can't handle a dissenting opinion, get bent! I would never attack another review, simply because I think I'm the expert! But these crazy horror fanatics think only they understand Giallos, and no one is allowed another opinion. Give me a break! This is definitely not one of my best written reviews, but I did write it right after heart failure, and I don't think it's bad enough to be attacked simply because my opinion is different from yours.
