2. Erotic Nights of the Living Dead (1980)
Erotic Nights - woohoo! The Living Dead - woohoo! An irresistible mixture of sex and zombies? Noooo! It's a super title but the actual film is more nauseating than titillating. The 'plot', from what I can discern (which isn't much) concerns a sailor taking a wealthy American and his girlfriend to an island where the American wants to build a hotel. A voodoo couple consisting of an old man and lovely Laura Gemser try to warn everyone that bad stuff is going to happen and wouldn't you know it - zombies appear looking for breakfast! There is also a lot of hardcore sex going on whilst the above story arc pans out . Directed by that infamous sleaze mongering Italian - Joe D'Amato, Erotic Nights of the Living Dead is an attempt to mash together a zombie movie and a hardcore porno flick. Yes, I am very proud to have this film in my collection. Unfortunately the hardcore porn is just disgusting and sleazy - I will give you two examples. There is a threesome between one guy and two women. The guy is well hung but has a terrible case of genital warts. And the two women are greedily performing fellatio on him and humping him like bunnies! Yuck! There is also an extraordinarily sleazy shot of a stripper opening up a champagne bottle with her vajayjay. Fizzy fizzy let's get busy! The gore is not very strong in Erotic Nights of the Living Dead, the zombies look pitiful and just seem to bite people in the neck and then be done with them. No gut munching or dismemberment. I just don't think sex and zombies are good bed partners. Vampires are erotic but how can you sex up a zombie? if I thought there was a zombie near me, I would stop all my sexual capering and run like the wind. Especially if that zombie had genital warts the size of grapes... One for serious sleazehounds and D'Amato devotees. See also: Porno Holocaust.
