It has a lot of the anti-establishment sentiment that a lot of Italian exploitation had, but it's just hitting the same notes that someone like Aldo Lado hit almost a decade before in Short Night of Glass Dolls.
It cribs a lot from Romero's Dawn of the Dead (military as amoral force, etc.) but also uses the imagery (and stock footage) that was widely a part of the Italian cannibal pictures at the time.
It's interesting, but far from good. Which is kind of Bruno Mattei's trademark. 5 years ago -

Seedy and exploitative but not unhinged or humorous enough to be all that entertaining. 10 years 2 months ago -
