* {{Gorn}}: The movie

to:

* {{Gorn}}: The movie is a schlocky European knock-off of 80s American zombie films. Expect literal ''buckets'' of gore as people are EatenAlive or torn limb from limb by the zombies.

%%* ExploitationFilm
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: It starts out as a basic action movie about a bunch of mercenaries going after terrorists targeting a chemical facility in Papua New Guinea. Then the zombies show up and it turns into a full-blown ZombieApocalypse.
* ExploitationFilm: It's a cheap Italian-Spanish knock-off film blatantly inspired by Romero's zombie films.

The film is largely known for its plagiarism of Creator/GeorgeARomero's ''Film/{{Dawn of the Dead|1978}}'', with characters wearing similar uniforms to the heroes of Romero's film, as well as using some of its music, although much of ''Hell of the Living Dead'''s soundtrack also came from the ''Film/{{Alien}}'' rip-off ''Film/{{Contamination}}'', which was scored by Music/{{Goblin}}.
