5 out of 5 stars MY NEW FAVORITE ZOMBIE FILM   December 5, 2008
What can I say? I really enjoyed this film. Great makeup FX, fantastic atmosphere, a brilliant musical score, good directing and ZOMBIES!!! I even enjoyed this one more than DAWN OF THE DEAD.


3 out of 5 stars Zombitastic!   September 18, 2008
This film is available under 3 different titles. Zombie, Zombi 2 and Zombie Flesheaters. Back in the late 70s Dario Argento did his own cut of Romero's Dawn Of The Dead, calling it Zombi, for the Italian and European market. Lucio Fulci was commitioned to exploit its success and do a cash in version which was called Zombi 2 (to make people think it was a sequel). It was then released in the US as Zombie and, eventually, in the UK as Zombie Flesheaters. It doesnt have the same class as Romero's stuff but its still one of the original classic zombie flicks. The gore is everywhere and the zombies are disgusting- the one area that did improve on Romero's work. If you do decide to watch this then please try to get hold of one of the imported versions as some of the best gore scenes (piece of wood through a womans eye) are cut out of the UK release, and avoid ALL of the supposed sequels (Zombi 3, Zombie Fleasheaters 3, etc).


3 out of 5 stars Leader in "living dead" genre   October 26, 2007
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I enjoy watching zombie movies and I'd heard a lot about this one before I managed to get my hands on a copy. Some people had told me it was a classic of low budget filmmaking, others had warned me it was an absolute steaming pile of zombie pap. Now, having finally watched it, I don't think it's either of these things. br /br /The acting is bland in general, with the exception of veteran British actor Richard Johnson (looking a bit out of place, but having a great time hamming it up as the slightly mad Dr. Menard) and smirky Roger Moore look-alike Ian McCulloch. Al Cliver isn't too bad as a tough-guy tourist caught up in the zombie infestation, Tisa Farrow (yes, that's Mia's little sis) drifts through much of the movie looking distant and dazed, and Auretta Gay (they must have given her a hard time at school) takes her top off a lot but spends the rest of the time either over- or under-acting. br /br /The plot isn't much to speak of but it holds the attention, and considering the directors other horror movies, it's a miracle there actually is one. The ending annoyingly blunts any disturbing edge the film may have built up towards the end, and drags the movie fully into the realm of cheesiness. The lack of enough real tension and suspense among the pumping blood, punctured eyeballs and blazing gunfire is pretty disappointing too. That said, the action scenes are genuinely exciting (despite being kinda slow in coming) and the climatic sequence in Dr. Menard's hospital with the invading zombies vs. humans is quite enjoyable. br /br /Overall, I found that all this was not quite as horrifying as reputation suggests, probably because of it's age, lack of tension, or my stamina to being scared/disgusted. The memorable parts a battle between a zombie and a shark, and a graphic tracheotomy, (to name just two) easily make it worth the rental, plus some good special effects really caught my interest. Just don't expect much intelligence here that you'd find in Romero's undead flicks. On the whole, it's not brilliant, but it fits respectfully in this genre. br /


5 out of 5 stars The 'Alien' of Zombie movies   August 17, 2007
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Most zombies movies have very little plot, extremely poor atmosphere and terrible looking zombies. Surprisingly this is not the case here.br /br /Fulci, who even in his poor films at least manages atmosphere, directs possibly the best non-Romero zombie film. Starting with a short zombie attack in New York harbour the film then slows to set the scene...br /br /One woman must sail to an island to find her father. The island is apparantly 'cursed' and we know what that means... Zombies. There is a slow long build up including a short Zombie vs Shark fight, until it all kicks off for the last 40 mins of Zombie infestation. br /br /The zombies look great, the music is actually very good and it's extremely well shot. As always some acting is poor and the story is a little, well, thin. But if you're going to 'zombie flesh eaters' you should expect that. br /br /This is an absolulte must have for any zombie fan.


4 out of 5 stars Classic Zombies   August 14, 2007
The zombies in this film are probably my favourite type (for the way they move, the noises they make, the large number of worms crawling out of their putrefying skulls, the way they burst out of the ground, I could go on...). The storyline (there isn't one) doesn't matter - it's the gore that counts! This is a Zombie classic.
