OK, having finally gotten around to watching the Arrow BD of City Of The Living Dead, I have concluded that the best of the three is The Beyond.
City... is a great film and has some superb ideas (the notion of fear itself being key to the opening of Hell and the materialisation of the demons/zombies etc) but it is just too clumsy and derivative and too much remains un(der)developed. I think The Beyond is far more successful as a film.
Love them both though.
