Zeder (1983)
ZEDER (aka REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIES, aka REVENGE OF THE DEAD) by Pupi Avati is an Italian zombie film that distinguishes itself from the pack by focusing on mystery and atmosphere rather than gore effects or kills. While the movie gives us an original take, it also tends to creep along slowly, and sometimes the real mystery is whether or not a plot actually exists. Definitely not the Italian zombie film with which to start, but it's an interesting take for the fan. (MH)
Tagline: One man's search for an ancient secret... and the dead will rise from their graves!
Highlights: Sometimes genuinely creepy and eerie atmosphere; the cursed-land origin of the zombies which predates Pet Sematary; the beginning and ending sequences which contain more zombie action than the rest of the film
