Well, it certainly has all the classic Fulci hallmarks: comedy acting, an abysmal musical score, a half-baked plot and some genuinely twisted gore.
I've seen this described elsewhere as a masterpiece. It isn't. Fair enough it creates a bit of atmosphere from time to time but other bits are just too dire to take seriously. Every scene in the diner, for example, is just terrible, really terrible.
Always thought Fulci was a real mixture - some great ideas and general concepts but totally unable to translate them into equally great movies. City Of The Living Dead encapsulates this problem nicely.
