Reception

Writing in The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, academic Peter Dendle called it "a disappointing final film for ex-Hammer Studios director John Gilling".[2] Glenn Kay, who wrote Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide, described it as an out of print film that is considered "uninspired and unimpressive" by those who have seen it.[3]

gollark: It's probably going to mess up my console before long.

gollark: Ah, finally, it's possibly spec-compliant.

gollark: It should autodownload the updated JSON stuff.

gollark: Did you reload/update skynet or whatever?

gollark: Er... that's not valid, then?
