- User's comment:Fulci's masterpiece is by far one of the best Italian gore flicks of the eighties. by GradeZ
A young woman, MacColl, inherits an old hotel in Louisiana which happens to be one of the "Seven Doors of Death" which is a gateway in and out of hell. After the hotel is reopened, several bizarre occurrences involving disappearing persons and brutal murders transpire. MacColl along with the help of physician Warbeck investigate to discover that the door to hell is open and the dead is walking the earth. This is a truly remarkable film, boasting superb cinematography and excellent gore effects. Fulci captures the eerie atmosphere and dark visions of hell in a horrifying climax that has never quite been matched by any other filmmaker. If possible, see this in it's original uncut and letterboxed state, it is absolutely one of the most beautifully visual horror films ever made. The haunting score is an excellent example of Fabio Fabrizzi's finer musical works. This is the best of Fulci's three great horror films (the others being The House by the Cemetary and the Gates of Hell) which all, coincidentally starred MacColl.
