Seven Doors of Death

This film was directed by the infamous Italian director Lucio Fulci. This film is pretty good but not one of my favorites. I guess because it kinda drags in parts. Although the zombie scenes are excellent, topping any "horror" film that is made today. From acid to tarantulas the death sequences will have your jaw-dropped.

The film opens in a backwoods Louisiana hotel in 1927. The hotel is aptly named the Seven Doors Hotel. Living in there is a couple. The man has found the key that opens one of the doors to hell. You will learn later in the film that the hotel was built on-top of the door!!! The townspeople find out and have this man killed for his satanic worshipping. The drag him down to the basement, as the guy is warning them not to do it because the door is so close. Anyway they whip the guy with a chain before they end up staking him to the wall where they throw quicklime in his face. He dies.

Flashforward to the year 1977 and a relative inheirts the hotel not knowing the dark secrets of the place. There are a few guys working on the outside of the house. One of them looks through the window and sees Emily (the woman from the beginning, and as you will learn later in the film she is dead) well the guy ends up falling off of his scaffolding and dies soon afterwards. A plumber is called over because the basement is flooded but no water comes out of the faucets. He goes downstairs and goes over to a wall and begins to chisel away. But see this wall was not original, it was put up after the guy was killed with the quicklime in the basement. The plumber walks around and finds a hole in the wall, takes a peek in and gets his eyes gouged out by a zombie-hand. He gets taken to the along with Mr. Quicklime. In the morgue his wife and kid come in to say good-bye and to dress him. His wife meets her demise with a face-full of acid. The kid walks in while her mom is being acid-bathed. The acid creates a quite funny froth that oozes along the floor towards the girls. When they are buried we are shown that the girls is dead too.

A man finds the plans to the house and is shocked by what he finds, but before he is able to show anybody he is eaten alive by tarantulas. And the page erases itself. The woman who inherited the house (Lisa) begins to see things like the Ebion book from the beginning of the film and also Emily was a zombie. The house maid (Martha) also dies when she cleans out room 36 by the dead plumber. She gets a nail right through the eye. Emily although she is dead gets surrounded by the zombies and gets bitten by her own seeing-eye dog!!! We also learn that she was on a mission.

I think that should be enough the end of the film is in the hospital. It is an all out zombie extravaganza. Also pay special attention to the painting at the beginning of the film, you will see that once more but I will not say when.
