City of the Living Dead 1980 Lucio Fulci UHD 4K Arrow Films Ultra HD Blu-ray UK

Bucket-loads of brains, blood and guts courtesy of Lucio Fulci!

Introducing Arrow Films' UHD 4K Limited Edition release for City of the Living Dead (aka The Gates of Hell). From the Italian godfather of gore, Lucio Fulci, comes City of the Living Dead, a notoriously nauseating, compellingly corporeal masterpiece of apocalyptic zombie horror!

A medium has a mysterious vision of a priest hanging himself... A seemingly dead woman awakes screaming in her coffin... And in the sleepy New England town of Dunwich, a girl vomits up her intestines and a local misfit has a drill bit ploughed into his cranium... These hallucinogenic, often grotesque visions punctuate a skeletal story telling of a reporter (Christopher George, The Exterminator, Pieces) and a psychic (Catriona MacColl, The House by the Cemetery, The Beyond) who must race against time to prevent hordes of rotting corpses spewing forth from the gates of hell...

Stridently going beyond the classical stylings of his horror hit Zombie Flesh Eaters, City of the Living Dead sees Fulci eschew conventional narrative logic in favour of a delirious, oneiric mode of storytelling which stresses visuals, surrealism and atmosphere. Presented here in a 4K restoration with a wealth of extras, Fulci's gore-drenched classic can now be devoured as never before!

PLEASE READ: Arrow included an extra "outer" thin slip case (on top of the rigid slip case) for this release. So it basically has a slip case on top of a slip case (yes, it's weird!). The extra outer slip case is extremely prone to small, superficial dents/bends, so any slight denting you see in the tiny corners are perfectly normal (and can't be avoided) – of course, this should not affect the inner rigid slip case.
