Uncut. Uncensored. Unseen For Over 25 Years!
The Legendary Blood-Soaked Western From The Director Of ZOMBIE And THE BEYOND
Having survived a vigilante slaughter, four hard-luck strangers - gambler Stubby Preston (Fabio Testi of THE BIG RACKET), a pregnant prostitute (Lynne Frederick of SCHIZO), the town drunk (Michael J. Pollard of BONNIE AND CLYDE) and a madman who sees dead people (Harry Baird of THE OBLONG BOX) - escape into the lawless frontier. But when they meet a sadistic bandit named Chaco (Tomas Milian of RUN MAN RUN), the four are plunged into a nightmare of torture, brutality and beyond. In a land that screams with the pain of the damned, can four lost souls find redemption and revenge?
Due to its graphic violence, FOUR OF THE APOCALYPSE was banned or censored in many countries and never seen in America. Meanwhile, fans - and director Lucio Fulci himself - considered it to be one of the greatest films of the maestro's career.

"One Of Fulci's Best!"

Late Spaghetti Western Masterpiece from Horror legend, Lucio Fulci
This being a Lucio Fulci movie, i obviously expected to see a ton of graphic violence and i did, but he didn't offer just some cool bloody western with this film. Actually it was much more than just that. The film was brutal, it was sad, it was beautiful. It had some many excellent moments all throughout it and the score was brilliant and completely set the tone for the film. This was a very emotional picture and it seems to be a really personal from Fulci. It really had some moments that were truly heart breaking, these characters were totally likable. And to see what the characters went through, you really felt bad. I think that this film could definitely go as far as being one of the greatest spaghetti westerns that i'd ever seen. And that comes from a great genre with a ton of great pictures under it's belt. If you're a fan of Fulci's but have not seen this you'll most likely be very pleasantly surprised as i was. Two thumbs up!
Very disappointing
Owing to the fact that i am a huge Fulci fan i was very excited about seeing Four of the apocalypse. I have enjoyed a wide spectrum of his movies including the beyond, conquest, house by the cemetary, city of the living dead, new york ripper, contraband, lizard in a womans skin, dont torture a duckling etc etc.
Unfortunately with four of the apocalypse,i was very disappointed. The acting is good and im a fan of Fabio Testi but the pace is slow and plodding, the soundtrack awful and there is very little of Fulcis signature violence to speak of !
Worth a look but for Fulci completists only, I would certainly recommend renting this first before you buy it !
A Surprising Sentimental Moment for Fulci!!!
I was delighted after watching this film! I am a huge fan of his horror films but, was blown away by several scenes in this film. The bonus behind the scene s feature is great too. The moment where the baby cries - wow. Lucio left us way too early. Buy this dude - you will dig it.
