Before I go buy this........

Maybe I should ask if it's any good!

I am a massive fan of zombie movies, but to date have only found the original Romero trilogy any good. Plus some zombie-esque movies such as Shivers, Evil Dead 2, The Crazies, Carnival of Souls.

Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things & Deathdream have their moments but aren't great overall.

Zombie Flesh Eaters & The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue were in my humble opinion truly awful. As was Land of the Dead.

This has some very good reviews but I don't always trust reviews as I've often been duped into buying a really awful film. AND, much more importantly, the same director did 'Ghosthouse', a shockingly bad film, with it's only redeeming quality being the spooky music.

So, honestly, will I like this?!!!!???

As a fan of zombie movies, and self-described massive fan, you must add this one to your collection. However, you can get it on the East-West DVD double feature under City of the Living Dead title with CREEPERS for a couple of dollars, and that's the one to get to see how you like it, as Creepers is a decent film as well.

Then if you like it, get the quality version.

Personally, I like this best of all Italian Zombie films and I find this one has much more in common with the Romero trilogy, esp Dawn of the Dead, than most Italian zombie films, in as far as Murphy's Law and human stupidity come into play. But the zombies are much more like those in Return of the Living Dead.

I agree with rixrex, this movie feels like a lot like Dawn of the Dead, certainly not as good but it has that fast pacing and seems to be more focused on the action aspect of it rather than the horror aspect like you find with Zombi 2 and most other Italian zombie movies. It's cheesy but totally fun and it will certainly keep you attention the whole way through. There is also a disco massacre scene that really cannot be missed, it makes the whole movie worth it, trust me. I say buy it cause every where I see it, it's usually going for pretty cheap. I got my Blue Underground version for like $4 and I would say that's a steal :)
