Musings!


Aderbale (John Drew Barrymore) has complete control of Rhama (Ida Galli) in WAR OF THE ZOMBIES (1964; aka Rome Against Rome)

Some dislike this movie, mostly horror fans and PEPLUM fans. It's not PEPLUM enough for PEPLUM fans and it's not horror enough for horror fans. I like it because it's quite original. Ida was also in HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD (1961). John Drew Barrymore makes a great villain. To my delight, a lot of PEPLUM movies have horror elements (monsters, vengeful gods, spooky stuff, etc). Since I'm a fan of horror, the combination of both genre is a definite plus.
