Tagline: Ride with the Living Dead!
Plot: A Gang of young people call themselves the Living Dead. They terrorize the population from their small town. After an agreement with the devil, if they kill themselves firmly believing in it, they will survive and gain eternal life. Following their leader, they commit suicide the ones after the others, but things don't necessarily turn out as expected...
My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? Chyeah!
Man, what a groovy flick! The premise is fun, the actors are fun, the execution is fun, it's not dull, there's lots of set pieces of people offing themselves or terrorizing the locals, and the soundtrack is pure psychedelic 70s groovy! There is a surprising absence of nudity and gore but it doesn't matter. This unsuspecting flick will sneak up on you and, before you know it, you've just spent 85 minutes with something out of a time capsule.
You'll dig the threads and the happening scene, Man! Severin is releasing (for the first time on DVD) a restored print with extras at the end of October, 2010. I'll definitely rent it for the extras and to see how much better the print is compared to what I've got and I suggest you do the same. It's a wild scene. Can you dig it?
