Blue Underground has just added a new version of Lucio Fulci’s zombie epic City of the Living Dead to their release schedule, bringing the shocker to DVD and Blu-Ray Disc in May.

The Seven Gates Of Hell have been torn open, and in three days the dead shall rise and walk the earth. As a reporter (Christopher George) and a psychic (Catriona MacColl) race to close the portals of the damned, they encounter a seething nightmare of unspeakable evil. The city is alive – with the horrors of the living dead!

Directed and co-written by the legendary Lucio Fulci, “City of the Living Dead” features some of the maestro’s most shocking and controversial sequences of all time.
