This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Erotic Nights of the Living Dead was made back-to-back with Joe D'amato's other zombie shagathon Porno Holocaust (released in 1981), and shares much of that film's cast, plus its island location. It also shares its ability to bore me witless, with the quantity and quality of sex seriously waning after the first half an hour, and very little in the way of decent gore, despite featuring more of the undead.D'amato regular George 'Anthropophagus' Eastman plays Larry, a sailor hired by mustachioed architect/stud John Wilson (Mark Shannon) to take him (and his current woman) to a mysterious island, which, according to local legend, is home to flesh-eating zombies which are ruled over by a cat. Once there, they meet a strange old man and his beautiful daughter (Laura Gemser), have sex, and run into lots of mouldy reanimated corpses.As you've probably surmised, it doesn't make whole lot of sense, and, at 112 minutes (in its uncut form), is extremely tedious. As always Eastman stays well clear of any hardcore action, preferring to keep his trousers on during sex, whilst Gemser indulges in purely soft-core fumblings. And all of the humping is strictly between the living (unlike Porno Holocaust, which featured a very randy zombie).Very occasionally, the film offers those seeking sleazy treats something to make them smile—a woman displays a unique way of removing a cork from a champagne bottle, and Gemser bites off Wilson's todger—but, on the whole, Erotic Nights of the Living Dead is a dreary mess.

EROTIC NIGHTS OF THE LIVING DEAD is a sleazy, smut-filled endeavor from trash director, Joe D'Amato - but of course, I live for this garbage, so although this one was pretty silly - I still got a kick out of it. Unfortunately though, don't expect any cool undead-copulation as the title would suggest, you won't get it here. But you will get plenty of living people's tits and ass, so I guess that counts for something...This one concerns a businessman who buys an island to put up a big resort hotel. Of course, the island has some local lore around it involving zombies that live there. Before embarking on his journey to check the island out, Mr. Business bangs two hookers in his hotel room. Pretty decent hardcore sex action, if you dig big 70's puss-fro's and protracted, semi-erect blow-jobs featuring a guy that looks like Magnum P.I. Then he bones the lady that's staying next door (seems that Magnum is quite a pimp...). The next day Magnum and The-Girl-Next-Door head to the docks to commission a boat and sailor to take them to the island. The boat ride is just another excuse to show some more extended tits and ass scenes, but unfortunately, other than the hooker-sandwich in the beginning, there's no more "hardcore" sex to be had in this film (unless you consider one VERY amusing scene where a stripper graphically uncorks a bottle of champagne without use of her hands "hardcore"...). The adventurous three-some begin exploring the island, and find that it's not completely uninhabited. There's a real old guy with a big lump on his head, and his grand-daughter (played by an anorexically thin but still smokin' hot Laura Gemser...), and a grave yard where a bunch of "epidemic" victims died (the epidemic is never explained, naturally....). Ol' Bump-Head tells the trespassers that they should probably roll-out, but Magnum ain't hearin' it. Bump-Head gives the sailor some kind of little statue that's supposed to protect him against the zombies, and somewhere along the line, we find out that Gemser is some sort of ghost or something (that obviously doesn't like to give head, which is proved in one particularly hilarious penis-chomping scene...), because you don't see her in photographs and she keeps disappearing. Sound hard to follow? Trust me it's not - it's just poorly written. Anyway...of course our adventurers pay no head to Bump-Head and Ghost-Girl, so the epidemic victims decide to be a little more "persuasive"...Basically, ENOTLD is a film whose main purpose is to cram as much gratuitous nudity and sex as possible into it, while still straining to maintain some sort of "plot" as a horror film. The sleaze is hot-and-heavy, although I wish that there would have been some more XXX scenes, as seeing them in the very beginning and then not at all through the rest of the film was kind of "anti-climactic". As a horror film ENOTLD doesn't really hold up well. Actually, as a porn film, it doesn't really either - but the combination of the two make this one somehow work out to be pretty entertaining. Not nearly as memorable as D'Amato's super-sleazy EMANUELLE IN America or his horror "classic" BUIO OMEGA - but still worth a look to the trash fans out there...or those that dig hot 70's chicks with big 70's bushes...7/10

Le Notti Erotiche dei Morti Viventi, or Erotic Nights of the Living Dead & Sexy Nights of the Living Dead as it's more widely known among English speaking audiences, introduces us to John Wilson (Mark Shannon) who works for a company that are going to buy a tropical paradise called Cat Island & build a holiday resort on it. John hires local sailor Larry O'Hara (George Eastman) to take him & his wife Fiona (Dirce Funari) to Cat Island so he can give it the once over, despite Cat Islands bad reputation with the superstitious locals Larry agrees to take them. Once there they encounter a mysterious young woman (Laura Gemser) & her Grandfather who act strangely & warn them to leave. John isn't having any of it & since the boats motor has broken down their stuck there anyway. Things take a turn for the worse when it becomes apparent that Cat Island is also infested with rotting flesh-eating zombies whom appear very hungry...This Italian production was directed by Joe D'Amato who also saw to the cinematography under his real name Aristide Massaccesi & there really aren't many films like Le Notti Erotiche dei Morti Viventi around, this has been released in basically two different versions an explicit one with hardcore sex & a softer one without although I think both versions contain all the gore. The script by star George Eastman mixes hardcore pornography & Italian exploitation horror. I'm not sure that the mixing of these two genres work particularly well as both the horror & sex elements are kept well apart in terms of the story & one has no notable significance in regards to the other which at times can make you feel that Le Notti Erotiche dei Morti Viventi is two different films pasted together. The hardcore footage consists of one scene where two prostitutes have sex with John, masturbation (at this point while giving John a hand-job one of the women says "they could arrest you for carrying a concealed weapon!"), oral sex & full penetration are present but that's where the hardcore ends really, there is a scene when Fiona masturbates & an infamous bit when a women opens a bottle by inserting it into her vagina. The horror doesn't really kick in until the last 20 or so minutes when the zombies rise. The pacing is a real killer as far as the overall film goes, it becomes quite boring towards the end & at almost 2 hours long in it's uncut state I found my interest waining well before the end. There are very few characters in Le Notti Erotiche dei Morti Viventi & those present aren't that well fleshed out, a lot of scenes & ideas seem unrelated & go unexplained like the Doctor who gets one scene, the black cat that keeps turning up, the zombie in the port that Larry kills, the man at the beginning killed by a zombie & why the hell are there zombies on Cat Island anyway? Some sort of explanation would have been nice while the opening & closing segments are completely unnecessary & feel out of place. On a positive note director D'Amato amazingly manages to create some good sequences, the blue lit zombie scenes at the end look fantastic & add a visual elegance. I wouldn't give D'Amato too much credit though as these scenes were shot during the day & a blue sepia tone was probably added in post production with the alternate sunny daytime shots as they were filmed presented on the DVD as an extra. The real life Santa Domingo locations in the Dominican Republic look beautiful, the beaches, the clear blue sea & the palm trees make me wish I was there zombies or not! The gore is not that graphic, a couple of zombies have their heads chopped off, a few are shot in the head, there is one brief gut-munching scene, a Doctor is attacked by a maggot ridden zombie & that's about it. There is lots of nudity, in fact everyone take all their clothes off for the slightest reason except Eastman who never strips below the waist in any part. The acting & dubbing are up to the usual low standards set by Euro exploitation films. Le Notti Erotiche dei Morti Viventi is an odd film, I liked it's exploitation elements but found it very choppy, poorly paced & despite the odd explicit sex scene & brief horror I didn't find it particularly enjoyable or entertaining as a whole, just in parts which is where my score comes from. Still it's definitely worth a watch for Euro exploitation fans like myself who should be able to find a few redeeming features in it. However, if you get hold of the uncut version make sure you don't watch it in front of your family...

(i watched the full uncut version by astro). that was no fun.
