I'll have to pick this up i think.

Like i said earlier i personally preferred the sequel but i found both CP films enjoyable and imo G2's double-bill DVD is a bargain at £8!
These Norwegian slashers may not exactly be brimming with originality but i certainly didn't regret buying this U.K. release.
Fair enough, not too packed with extras but lovely PQ on both movies.

One thing i forgot to mention.

Unless you like spoilers DO NOT do what i did and watch the short making-of the first CP prior to viewing the actual film itself.
This featurette gives away too much!

Also, make sure you pick up a copy with no loose discs inside the case as a fair few of the copies i checked in HMV suffered from this problem. It seems to be down to the spindle holding the first CP DVD as it's not too robust imo.

If more Norwegian horror efforts are like the CP films then i'm up for seeing a few more of 'em!

I found CPII:R to be superior to the first film and a touch more visually impressive imo. Gorier i thought too, but both entries deserve the attention of stalk 'n slash devotees who don't mind a bit of familiarity.

With regards to the above sequel, think the original Halloween II only with snow and you're there!

I had always thought it was a zombie flick, had no idea it was an "infected living" film á la The Crazies and 28 Days Later.

Not entirely awful I thought! Clearly it was rushed, but it was competently made by and large and fairly well shot. I am appreciating Lenzi more as I am older, perhaps cutting him more slack as I know more about the industry and imtes in which he worked.

Decent disk, but I thought colours were a little faded and edges a little soft. I wonder if that was just down to film stock though.

I love Lenzi's radiation ravaged schlockfest and ABUK's NC DVD boasted a beautiful transfer of the film.

In the U.S. the film was drastically re-edited and renamed City Of The Walking Dead.
Maybe it should've been City Of The Walking, Running, Shooting, Stabbing, Strangling, Scratching, Decapitating, Bludgeoning, Blood Drinking, Eye-Gouging and Tit-Tearing Dead!

There's so many amusing atomic attacks in NC it never gets boring imo.
Amusement parks, petrol stations, TV studios, hospitals (watch for flying scalpels!) and airports. Great and gloriously gory stuff!

Never seen this film but i like the tagline!

'When the dead start walking, you better start running!'
