Lucio Fulci’s ‘City of the Living Dead’ Rises Again on Arrow

This March, horror fans are in for a gruesomely gratifying treat as ARROW presents Lucio Fulci’s seminal zombie apocalypse thriller, City of the Living Dead, in a stunningly visceral 4K restoration. Known for its shockingly graphic content and atmospheric storytelling, Fulci’s masterpiece stars Christopher George and Catriona MacColl in a tale that intertwines the macabre with the supernatural.

Dubbed as a masterclass in apocalyptic zombie filmmaking, City of the Living Dead delves deep into the realms of the undead, where a psychic’s premonition, a hanged priest, and the opening of Hell’s gates set the stage for an impending zombie-infested apocalypse. The small, sleepy village of Dunwich becomes the epicenter of terror as the dead begin to rise, leading to a series of nightmarish events that include entrail-vomiting locals and gruesomely inventive demises.

Fulci, hailed as the King of Euro-Terror, crafts a visually arresting journey into zombie insanity, marked by his signature blend of atmospheric tension and gory extravagance. This restoration promises to bring every brain, blood, and guts-drenched moment to life with unprecedented clarity, offering both long-time fans and newcomers a chance to experience the horror in gloriously gruesome 4K.

City of the Living Dead is set to debut exclusively on ARROW and Arrow Video Limited Edition 4K UHD on March 25th, ensuring that enthusiasts of the genre can revel in this eye-scorching cinematic experience from the comfort of their homes.
