You gotta love Zombie Creeping Flesh one of my favourite Italian cheezefests, along with Burial Ground & Zombie Holocaust.

An absolute unintentional comedy classic of the first order and an hilarious horror highlight to be sure.

It's been said in certain publications the film features the line "What's eating you today?" but i believe this is incorrect as if i'm not mistaken the dialogue spoken is actually "What's wrong?....Somethin' eatin' ya?".

Vipco's DVD was certainly servicable but once again the U.S. variant wins hands down.

Far cooler artwork on the Vipco one though.
The U.S. editions artwork are garbage....

ZCF never fails to entertain me every time I give it a watch. It's so bad on so many levels, but that's half the fun.

You're right there and the 'three zombie heads' U.K. artwork definitely catches the eye more than the U.S. variant.

I watched the B.U. Disc through the week.
It's one of those 'So bad it's good' films.

The SWAT team 'subplot' is a load of bollocks though!

Imo during the SWAT hostage rescue scene the young 'actor' playing the leader of the bad guys reminds me of veteran Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry!

God only knows how many times i've caught ZCF but the crowd pleasing combination of gormless goings-on, abysmal acting, not-so special FX, daft dialogue and overall general film making ineptitude always goes down a treat!

The film simply has to be seen by any serious supporter of spaghetti schlock!

This has just got another UK release on the Beyond Terror label.

I still got the old Merlin UK VHS rental and its missing the entire terrorist scene. The artworks the same as VIPCO's.
I got this and the rental bigbox ZFE (cut) for a fiver each when the local video shop closed down many years ago, sadly never to be reopened.

I dont think theres a video shop near me now , besides the Chinese comunity video shop, as last time I went to XtraVision it was an empty and was getting the shelves taken out , and the Chinese shop has only Chinese language films. ( apologise for drifting of topic )

The Merlin pre-cert was the same print as the heavily edited UK cinema version.
