In Dunwich, a Father Thomas hangs himself resulting in an opening of the gates of hell which will reach it's zenith on All Saint's Day, wherein the dead will walk the earth. Before this menace is stopped we are treated to some of the most extreme set pieces in Italian horror. Gates of Hell is practically dripping in blood, bile, and maggots.

Before Fulci barrages us with revolting scene after revolting scene we are treated to the infamous performance of Giovanni Radice (you might remember him as Mike Logan the hilariously sadistic coke addict from Make Them Die slowly AKA Cannibal Ferox, and in Stagefright), the pot smoking, blow up doll lovin' "delinquent" who walks around in a daze when not seeing visions of a rotting baby.

We quickly jump to a scene of two young lovers in a car (Italian horror fans will recognize future director Michele Soavi), when the girl envisions the hung priest her eyes begin to bleed as blood flows from her mouth. In perhaps Fulci's finest moment as a filmmaker we are witness to the girl throwing up her entire innards!

To those not familiar with Mr. Fulci's film let me elaborate a second, SHE THROWS UP HER ENTIRE INNARDS!! Intestines, kidneys, and a huge bladder come spewing forth in a wave of revulsion plopping onto her lap!! Other classic scenes include the horny, bud smokin' loner getting his head drilled in by a ridiculously huge stationary drill. Fulci shows every conceivable close up angle of this murder not stopping until the audience is left wondering "how the hell did they do that!?!" The reason for this brutal display of violence? A father finds his daughter hanging out in the garage with Radice's character!!
