When most horror fans think of Itallian zombie movies they think "crappy rip-offs". When asked what one is the worst this movie is mentioned a lot.

Virtually plotless and totally exploitation; this has a group of people going to a remote mansion and falling victim to some maggoty zombies who shamble along and love to munch human entrails (there's plenty of cheap gore scenes of them doing just that).

This is the kind of bad Itallian zombie flick that makes one pine for Lucio Fulci's work (he himself not a great filmmaker) and there's so many flaws here it's more laughable than anything. Heck, it's not really that boring at least (until the final third anyway).

Badly dubbed (resulting in such bad dialogue as one character proclaiming "whatever it is it's not human!" after seeing a zombie for the first time), sporting zombies who are obviously guys in not-too-spooky Halloween masks and with lots of poorly shot gore scenes; this is a complete mess.

However it has gained some notoriety for having a bizarre plot angle of a mother/son incest relationship (a freaky looking 13-year-old son at that - kids body, old man face) during which the son comes on to his mom and in later stages actually is goaded by mom to breastfeed (which results in a biting that's infamous).

No plot structure, characters with awful logic ("let's let them in, they're so slow they won't get us") and an infuriating anti-climatic ending digs this even deeper into its hole.

In fact, the only nifty scene (involving window shards) is ripped-off from Fulci's Zombie. Ugh.
