The film embodies the story of journalist (Christopher George) and a woman buried prematurely (Katrina McCall). They both seem to be fighting a battle with the dead as they face the living dead in Massachusetts after the suicide of a cleric opens their doors. After the experience of the clergyman, it appears that the dead were allowed to leave the grave simultaneously.
The very epitome of giallo; Fulci's masterpiece, but also among the worst films I've ever seen.

City of the Living Dead is a film that deserves its place within your horror library. Bless your black horror loving hearts, Blue Underground! Now bring on The Beyond and Zombie please!
Drink less [than six beers], you'll be bored with the nonsensical plot. Drink more, you'll probably vomit when you see a girl in the movie literally puke her guts out.
Teleporting Zombies! Hanging priests! Bleeding eyes! Organ regurgitation! The plot is meaningless and the characters senseless. But these are pluses for films in this cycle.
