Well, I loved it. Looked and sounded amazing on BD. Need to pick up 'City of the Living Dead' asap, to complete the series/trilogy.
Where does this one sit with Fulci fans?
Lincoln.

I'm a really big fan, love its gothic atmosphere. Which one did you see btw? The arrow version is better for extras but the BU one has better PQ.

House by the Cemetery is good but it's not as good as City
of the living Dead IMO.

I agree, for me it's the worst of the Gates of Hell trilogy, that's not to say I don't like the film, I just prefer The Beyond and COTLD over House

Arrow. PQ looked great to me.

Total Recall (2012) A remake of the 1990 Schwarzenegger vehicle that was set on Mars. This version places the action on a war scarred Earth where space is at a premium. Britain is now the worlds superpower with Australia reduced to colony status. Farrell is an undercover agent whose repressed memories start to resurface when he visits a Rekall centre where you can have false memories implanted of any fantasy you want. But it goes wrong and he soon learns of a conspiracy headed by Britain’s Chancellor to invade the colony. For all the money spent on it, ($125,000,000 estimated compared to the originals $65,000,000 estimated), the flashy effects and the big action scenes the film lacks that ‘something’ that the original had. It just didn’t grab me and I found myself trying to stay awake!

The Beyond and City of the Living Dead are much better films – my favourite is City – than House by the Cemetery, but it's much more fun than the other two.

The Beyond >/= City of the Living Dead > The House By the Cemetery
