In 1927, a band of angry townsfolk travel deep into the Louisiana Bayou to destroy an Satanic painter named Schweik. In an isolated Gothic hotel basement, they chain-whip, crucify, and shower the warl...( read more  read more... )ock in a flesh-emulsifying liquid. But they are too late. Schweik had already opened one of the seven dread gateways to Hell beneath the eerie hotel. Many years later, Liza (Catriona MacColl) comes to Louisiana to claim her inheritance: Schweik's Seven Doors Hotel. With the help of the hotel's longtime housekeeper and her caretaker son, Liza begins renovations on the property. But their work is plagued by bizarre and supernatural events: a normally sure footed painter falls off a scaffolding, a plumber has his eyes inadvertently poked out, an architect researching the hotel's origins is attacked by a band of blood-sucking tarantulas and, ultimately, the housekeeper is impaled on an unfortunately placed spike.

    This is how horror movies should be!

    A masterpiece of visionary Horror from the poet of gore Lucio Fulci, and in my opinion the best chapter of the trilogy.
    Once again, the story is not one of the most original (witchcraft, gates of hell, ghosts, zombies) and numerous are the references to other authors (Henry Jame...( read more)s, Lovecraft, Artaud and Argento), but Fulci can astutely mix these elements and bring them to the screen with a personal and original style, creativity and technique.
    As often in his movies, the script is not perfect and not much linear, but it doesn't matter since the director prefers to surprise with imagination, macabre atmosphere, surreal images, voices and whispers, extreme close-ups and spectacular splatter effects. This time, we have the "pleasure" of watching a man tortured and crucified to the wall, bodies dissolved in acid, an exploding head, a killer dog, flesh-eating tarantulas... However, the gross and extreme gore effects combine with the refinement and accuracy of cinematography, sound and direction. The whole is crowned by a magnificent and apocalyptic ending.

    Fulci doing what he did best: cinematic trashy madness. I have yet to see a movie that beats that ending. Also, eye-eating spiders.

    A masterpiece in Italian Horror. Fulci's greatest achivement. It's a weird story about one of the seven doors of Hell being opened in the basement of an old hotel in Louisiana. Scary things start happening once the gate is open: the dead start walking the earth, animals and insec...( read more)ts attack humans, ghosts appear, and ordinary people go insane. There's a great many setpiece scenes of horror.

    The spider attack scene is hilarious, because of how fake they look. But this movie is as gorey as heck. There are some freaky ghost scenes too with a blind woman and her dog living in an old house. The scenes with the zombie attack in the hospital are great zombie action.

    The new hotel owner (Catriona MacColl) and her Doctor friend (David Warbeck) fight the undead and attempt to close down the evil portal, but it might be too late. I totally love the spooked out atmosphere of this movie, and remember watching it twice in a row the first time I got it.

    Up there with Fulci's best films. There's not too much to the story but it had a good cast, great make-up and effects and an awesome score. Really liked the setting in Louisiana as well and the way the intro was shot was excellent. Great film.

    It's OK. Not too grand, but it doesn't suck. If you're keen on professional film making, this will automatically be a bad horror film in your eyes. I don't care if the story is cheesy and that body doubles are these plastic-looking things, because Fulci is a gorehound visualist a...( read more)nd he's interested in Hellish mythology. Some hit-and-miss special effects copious in blood - Red blood. Not that sissy orange Dario Argento used - a score that's appropriate and chilling, a hot-ass David Warbeck with a bulge on the left side of his pants, and so much gratuitous violence. Semi-ace. All I'm complaining about is the zombies at the climax. They sucked, despite the make-up. Make them do something other than stand, Fulci.

    an excellent modern (80's) gothic horror movie, its one of those rare movies that is spooky & gory. done by the italian meastro Luchio Fulchi & one of his best. Highly recommended.

    Some of the make-up effects and visuals were brilliant, but much of the film felt too lifeless. I didn't find it to be as scary as most have found it to be. I found it to be more of a guilty pleasure picture than anything else really. Fun, but I don't think I'll watch it again.
