Summary: Zombie is awesome!
Review: What can I say? I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I truly thought Zombie was going to bite, judging from the reviews I read, but I was wrong. The plot is quite sufficient, the dubbing and acting is decent, and the gore and make-up FX are great. I absolutely loved the camera work, and the directing was good. I've heard many comments about how this movie is a Dawn Of The Dead knockoff. I just don't see much validity in this statement, or any of the negative statements I read, for that matter. Sure Zombie is obviously influenced by DOTD, but it's in no way a knockoff! Besides, it is more closely related to Night of The Living Dead than Dawn anyway. Bottom line, the zombies in this movie are brutal, it has a wonderful dark feel the whole way through, and I didn't get bored once! Not once! Or even shake my head at a "supposedly" crummy plot. This movie is a work of dark art. Did I mention it is suspenseful and the characters are likable too?! Oh yeah, and the action sequences are good, and creepy!!!

Summary: A classic from "The Godfather of Gore."
Review: Lucio Fulci's unofficial sequel to Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD is an extremely gory and sadistic film. The spfx are very well-done, a great achievement considering the size of ZOMBIE's budget. The titular creatures rate special kudos. They easily equal Tom Savini's undead hordes in DAWN and are both chilling and sickening. The story isn't that strong. It's more or less an excuse to get the heroes onto the zombie infested Matool Island. Don't let that keep you away. The film moves quickly, is exciting and has a decent score(a very Goblin-esque score from Fabio Frizzi). For the rabid gorehound, ZOMBIE is certainly a treat worth savoring.

Summary: a mediocre B-Movie
Review: This movie isn't horrible, but it isn't exactly good, either. It's been a while since my freind and I rented this film, but we've been making fun of it ever since. From the begining scene in the morgue where, over a police officer with a torn out throat, one doctor asks the other, "What do you think the cause of death was?" to the final standoff where they have made an unlimited supply of molitov coctails from a few whiskey bottles. The scene where one of the male characters takes a canoe paddle and smacks it against the wall causing the zombies to back off will forever live on in my Greatest B-Movie Moments Catalogue. This loses two stars for a couple scenes that were even too hoaky for a B-Movie which you will recognize once you see it. All in all, if you're a B-Movie fan, go for it, otherwise stay very far away.

Summary: a lot of fun
Review: It may not have the social commentary and black humor of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" but this low-budget gem from Italian horror maestro Lucio Fulci is still a lot of fun. The makeup effects are over-the-top and grisly, and the zombies are impressive despite the low budget. It's also worth noting that Fulci managed to keep things a bit more coherent here than in later efforts, even though that's not a real big deal with genre films such as this.

Summary: Poor picture, average film, not that gory.
Review: If you are planning to by this movie thinking you are going to see one of the goriest films ever, you will be disapointed. There are some gory scenes, but they are few and far between. When the gore scenes do appear, they are well done, but there is a lot of garbage to get through before you see them. The zombies in this film move so slowly that I don't know how anybody could get caught. Dawn Of The Dead and Day Of The Dead are gorier films, but the effects in Zombie are better than Dawn, but not as good as Day. There are no stomachs torn open and intestines pulled out, there is a gut munching seen, but you don't see the zombies do the damage(just the after effect). The picture quality is extremely poor and is one of the worst looking DVD's I have seen yet. The commentary track doesn't explain much, but it is OK. I'd advise people to wait for a better transfer to become available if they must have this film. Still, it is uncut!

Summary: Zombie Fest Galore!!!
Review: How anyone could hate this movie is beyond me unless you're squemish. It was a terrific movie with a great plot and the zombies look terrific. O.K. the dubbing isn't the greatest but if you're looking for a terrific horror movie then own this one. I consider myself a big horror fan and this one is one of the best horror movies ever!!!!

Summary: Silly and stupid but good fun.
Review: A silly but very enjoyable zombiefilm by Lucio Fulci. Many thinks this is a classic, but I shouldn't exactly call it that. But it's never boring and I have seen it many times so I guess that says something. The best thing with this film is its wonderful music, worth watching just for that. If you like watching old 80's slasher films this is a must.

Summary: Hilarious, non-scary and STUPID,STUPID,STUPID!
Review: One comment/question:WHY DO THESE PEOPLE WAIT TO BE ATTACKED BY THE ZOMBIES? THEY HAVE ALL THE SPACE AND OOOOOOODLES OF TIME TO RUN, BUT THEY STAND THERE LOOKING SCARED FOR A GOOD HALF MINUTE WATCHING THE ZOMBIE GET CLOSER! DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE GOING TO WIN A OSCAR FOR FRESHLY TOSSING THEIR HAIR TO THE SIDE LIKE A SHAMPOO COMMERCIAL AS THEY LOOK SCARED AND GET ATTACKED? AHHHHHRRRRRGGGGGGG! [LAUGH OUT LOUD]

Summary: This Movie is AWFUL. I Don't Get the Fulci Hype ?
Review: I have to start off by stating that I LOVE horror films. I have a lot of tolorance for B style horror. In fact, I love it. Most of my DVD collection is just that. I bought this film because the cover is cool and I love horror films, especially zobie flicks. This is easily one of the most boring films that I've ever attempted to sit through. The acting is way too bad to have as much wordy dialoge as is present in this film. Not to mention the fact that there really isn't all that much gore. The parts that are gory are VERY gory, but with the abundance of horrible acting and cheap special effects, who cares. If you are looking for a really cool B movie that is both gory and entertaining, then I suggest you get your hands on one of the EVIL DEAD films. I would have liked to have seen more killing and zombies, and a lot less of the characters bad acting. I am the first to say that you should judge any kind of media for yourself. Tastes are unique to each individual, so feel free to disagree with me. I leave this review as a warning for thoes who might make the same mistake as me and judge this DVD by it's cool cover.

Summary: Easily the worst movie I have ever seen
Review: Poor acting may be excused, as may a boring story, but the absolutely only upside to this movie is a scene where a woman get a splinter driven through her eye. Groce? Absolutely, but it looked cool. Apart from that, there are few fighting scenes, a notable exception being a scene with a zombie fighting a shark that is VERY obviously a doll. Some poor movies may be seen because it is fun to see how badly it is made. This movie is beyond bad. It is boring and uninteresting.
