Synopsis

In Italy, it was considered the unofficial sequel to Dawn of the Dead. In England, it was known as Zombie Flesh-Eaters and banned for its obscene depiction of violence and gore. In America, it was called Zombie and advertised with the depraved tag line: "We are going to eat you!" Directed by the maestro of gore himself, Lucio Fulci, this worldwide splatterific sensation remains one of the most eye-skewering, skin-ripping, gore-gushingly graphic horror hits of all time.
Remastered from it's original camera negative, each flesh-eating frame has been lovingly restored to skull-busting perfection. This Zombie is unlike anything you have previously seen or heard before.

3 Reasons To buy this film

Review

While Italian horror cinema has gained a significant cult following in the post-Tarantino years, it's still safe to say that few specific titles are likely to be recognized by casual genre admirers or newbies. Alongside such other Italian horror classics as Mario Bava's Black Sunday and Dario Argento's Suspiria, director Lucio Fulci's blood spattered gut crunching opus Zombie is one of those few films readily acknowledged by even the most cursory horror genre enthusiasts. A quick ripoff of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, which was a huge success upon its Italian release under the title Zombi (causing the Fulci knock off to be released under the audacious moniker Zombi 2), Fulci's Zombie became a horror favorite in America principally as a result of its comparatively wide theatrical and home video releases, highlighted by an ad campaign featuring a maggot ridden rotting corpse. Seen today, Zombie is not necessarily the best Italian zombie movie, and in fact it's not even the best Lucio Fulci film (an honor that would likely be bestowed upon either The Beyond or Don't Torture a Duckling), but it remains great fun, and the bloodbath quotient seems even more hyperbolic now. Admirably, Fulci and his writers took little direct inspiration from the Romero film, for Zombie unfolds initially in Manhattan, where a reporter (Ian McCulloch) investigating an abandoned yacht eventually travels to a Caribbean island dominated by a doctor (Richard Johnson). . .and a whole fleet of the walking dead. Much mayhem ensues, and while the bulk of Zombie's running time actually moves at a somewhat more leisurely pace than the film's notorious reputation might lead one to expect, Fulci's film is still consistently compelling and thoroughly nasty viewing, with several gore setpieces that must rank with the horror genre's best: the legendary splinter eye impaling, the opening yacht attack, and of course the ever popular zombie vs. shark underwater wrestling sequence. The climactic moments also provide undeniable evidence of Fulci's visual flair, with a bridge set zombie march that remains oddly haunting and hysterical at the same time.

Fulci's masterpiece

cruiser wrote on 05/26/2002:

After Romero's Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, this is my absolute favorite of the late 70s, early 80s zombie gut-munchers. While the acting is strictly for the fish, the gore and atmosphere are heavy and outrageous! We also get a scene of zombie vs. shark not before a super-hot babe goes scubba diving topless and in just a thong...makes for a great rewind and some personal time alone! For any horror/zombie fan, I highly recommend Fulci's Zombie, especially in the kick-ass DVD release that features a swell commentary by Ian McCulloch, the sexy blonde British chap.
