''Virus: Hell of the Living Dead'' ((イタリア語:Virus - l'inferno dei morti viventi)) is a 1980 horror film directed by Bruno Mattei (credited as Vincent Dawn).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Hell of the Living Dead )〕 The film is set in a laboratory in Papua-New Guinea that sends out a dangerous chemical that turns the technicians and locals into zombies. An Italian news reporter (Margit Evelyn Newton) and her crew land on the island to investigate. ==Plot== At a top secret chemical research facility called Hope Center #1, a rat causes a chemical leak and dies; but as two workers investigate, that rat suddenly comes back to life and kills one of the men. Subsequently, the entire staff of the plant turn into flesh-eating zombies. A four-man team of commandos led by Lt. Mike London (José Gras) are deployed to eliminate a group of Eco-terrorists who have taken hostages inside a large building at the US Embassy in Barcelona, Spain. The unknown terrorists demand the closing down of all the Hope Centers, which both the government and the military deny the existence of, and the press, under orders of the local authorities, do not make any public announcement to the terrorists' demands or any mentioning of Hope Centers. After pumping tear gas into the building, Lt. London and his three commandos burst into the room where the terrorists are and kill them all. Once the mission is completed, the team flies to Papua New Guinea due to communication being lost with Hope Center #1, presumed due to terrorist action. They meet journalist Lia Rousseau (Margit Evelyn Newton) and her cameraman, who are investigating a series of mysterious, violent attacks on the locals. Hordes of flesh-eating zombies attack the native village. The four military men and two journalists travel through the New Guinea jungle in the commando's jeep, trying to survive while evading the zombies. The group takes refuge in an abandoned plantation, only to come under attack from the zombie residents. They kill and eat one of the commandos, forcing the surviving group to flee. Rousseau and London's men battle their way to a beach where they take a raft and finally arrive at Hope Center #1, where they find all of the workers either dead or roaming the facility as zombies. Rousseau and London learn about the experimental chemical that was accidentally released which kills people and turns them into zombies. Rousseau learns from the papers left behind in the offices that the chemical, coded as "Operation Sweet Death", had been intended to curb the Third World population by driving them into preying on each other. In the end, however, neither London's team nor the two journalists make it out alive; the zombies attack from all directions, and they are all killed or made members of the walking dead. Some time later, the zombie contagion has spread beyond the borders of the country and throughout the world. While politicians and scientist keep disputing the matter, a young couple in the developed world are attacked and devoured by a horde of zombies in a city park. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hell of the Living Dead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
