Pretty much what you'd expect from Lucio Fulci. Rotted baby corpses, evil demonic priests, and the extra special scene where someone is literally puking their guts out. Whats so important about this movie is that it was the first to connect Zombies to Black Magic (Voodoo). The story is simple containing basically two acts, but it has a sense of bizarreness, that the viewer must throw out all knowledge of critiquing film and in the correct manner in which they are made. Fulici knew exactly what his core audience wanted : Blood & Guts and he delivers in spades. Don't get me wrong, the movie is well made and has a lot of good in it, its just in a league of it's own as a zombie extravaganza and as a horror film. It almost seemed he skipped all the unnecessary cliche's and stereotypes of horror films and just right to the good stuff.This is the farthest I've ever seen Fulci go with violence and gore. I really liked the story of demonic possession mixed in with zombies and the whole gates of hell gag at the end. This the epitome of Fulici horror.
