Intervision presents Bruno Mattei's ISLAND OF THE LIVING DEAD and ZOMBIES: THE BEGINNING (review)

Bruno Mattei is back in this pair of individual DVD releases from Intervision.  A group of boneheaded treasure hunters land on the ISLAND OF THE LIVING DEAD and face off against ghosts, zombie monks, and flesh-eating corpses.  In ZOMBIES: THE BEGINNING, a rescue team is dispatched to an island where experiments with zombie test subjects have gone horribly wrong  Wholesale rip-offs of Fulci, Romero, and even Mattei himself along with James Cameron's ALIENS and John Carpenter's THE FOG and stock footage galore abound in two of Mattei's final films.
