Summary: "We Are Going To Eat You!"
Review: The story begins as a deserted boat sails silently into New York Harbor. Unsuspecting cops looking for a little booty (and no not that kind) are attacked by a zombie. He is quickly shot (not in the head) and falls into the harbor leaving one cop dead. Can you see where this could be heading?

The story than changes course. Ann (Tisa Farrow) is called down to the boat, because it belongs to her father. She hasn't heard from him in a long time and decides to head off to the Caribbean Island of Matool. She is accompanied by a newspaper reporter Peter West (Ian McCulloch). Arriving on the island, they y find it infested with the walking dead. Oh no....the drums! Is it voodoo, or something else bringing these dead bastards back to life?

Dr Menard (Richard Johnson) works feverishly to find a cure, while leaving his super hot wife to die a gruesome death at the hand of the undead. Her eyeball puncturing scene is truly magical cinematic moment (shown in exquisite detail on my Zombie pics & sounds page). There is also a great underwater scene where a zombie does battle with a shark. Tons of gore, but what do you expect from a zombie movie

An running commmentary track by actor:Mc Culloch and the editor of Diabolik magazine-Jason J. Slater. This film suffers from being Unintentional funny at times but the strong creepy atmospheric photography by Sergio Salvati. Bizarre moody score by Pabio Frizzi and Giorgio Tucci. Directed by Lucio Fulci (Who died in 1996) shows certain visual style to the film, including a great scene with a shark and the undead, show more style than plot. Fans of the Zombies films will have a great time watching this. Not for the Faint of Heart. Unrated for: Violence and Graphic Gore. But this is not as gory as another people think. Techniscope. Grade:B+.

Summary: STOP BASHING FULCI !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Some people think they are such critics to bash Fulci and his films. First of all, I don't see any of you geniuses directing anything better,second, Fulci was not a rich man and produced all of his own films. So now do you get it? The man worked with what little he had.Remember the old saying,"You make do with what you have." If Fulci could have gotten a true budget to work with I believe he would've taken the world by storm so don't bash him until you can do better.To anyone else I say Buy this bad ... DVD and sit back with Lucio Fulci and witness the madness and flesh eating mayhem in one his best ever..."ZOMBIE."

Summary: WARNING: This Movie is going to Eat You!!!!!
Review: You know,some people talk soo much (...) about the Maestro and his movies..."What a Hack" and "he couldn't direct his way out of a cardboard box." Well, I dare you to sit through zombie.I guarantee you'll be afraid to go to your backyard in the dark and drag the garbage cans to the front your for your mama.This is another great movie transformation from film to DVD and who else could do it better than Anchorbay.Witness the splinter to the eye scene and the slow motion traciotomies,and the disgusting gut munching scenes.This movie is in no way an imitation of any George Romero zombie movie...in fact the story and plot are completely different.Call it a "Dawn of the Dead" imitation?...How dare you!!!!

Summary: Fulci Is Going To Eat You!!!!!!!
Review: I am A die hard Fulci Fan...My mom took me to see this gruesome masterpiece when I was twelve years old.When we arrived at the theater and purchased our tickets the usher was handing out barf bags and napkins.The setting and eerieness of this film makes you feel very uncomfortable and keeps you wincing throughout your entire viewing of it. I recently borrowed Zombie on DVD to make a comparison to my VHS version...what a difference.AnchorBay really put this one together with lots of love and care and to my dismay when I tried to order my own copy it was no longer available.
Even a used DVD of this Fulci masterpiece was going for (a lot of money). (...) Amazon.com has once again come through for me. (...) And now I shall use my (ONE CLICK ORDER).I LOVE YOU AMAZON.COM

Summary: A Good Zombie Movie
Review: Warning: Spoilers

I found Zombie to be a pretty good and enjoyable Zombie movie that I thought was no where near as bad as it's reputation suggested. The plot involves a young woman teaming up with a nosy newspaper reporter to find out what happened to her father on a creepy island called Matuul. When they arrive on the island with two other people, they meet Dr. Menard, a weird scientist who doesn't believe in Voodoo but does kind of believe in Zombies, and he better, because the island happens to be crawling with them! The movie takes place at an island for the most part and it deals a lot with Voodoo, which was often used to bring dead people back to life. The Zombies in this film are some of the BEST and most realistic I've ever seen, and they look way cool and way nasty. The way they are bought back to life (probably by Voodoo) is believeable and oftentimes I really thought these Zombies were real! Plus the movie has a GREAT musical score, a lot of creepy scenes, nice sets and locations (the island was a pretty good setting for a Zombie movie) and the gore is VERY disgusting and looks very real. Punctured Eyeballs, Ripped Throats, Exploding Heads, Oozing Blood, gorehounds will find a lot to like and this movie is definitely not for kids and those who are squeamish. I also liked the finale (which was very exciting) and the ending is super-cool, and the infamous Shark scene (although short) is a riot. Overall, while Zombie is no Night Of The Living Dead, it's a pretty good Zombie movie overall. It's a little slow and boring at times but picks up and it has a lot of good moments. See this film if your looking for a good (and creepy and gory) Horror movie.

Summary: This was......okay.
Review: It wasn't the best zombie movie ever, or the worst zombie movie ever. The dubbing get's annoying though. Great amount of gore! The best part was with the shark fighting the zombie, underwater, scene.

Summary: "WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!"
Review: This unofficial Italian prequel to Romero's Dawn of the Dead (which was called Zombie in Italy) is actually a pretty nifty little low budget horror film in and of itself.

A derelict boat drifts towards New York City. When the Coast Guard climbs aboard to investigate, the officers find a gnarly zombie waiting to be fed. When the daughter of the boat's owner meets an investigative reporter researching the horrifying incident, the two decide to join forces. They fly out to St. Thomas to look for the missing man and the answer to why the horrible thing was on the boat. What they find is an island hell of the walking, flesh eating dead.

Although it won't win any points for originality, Zombie is nonetheless an energetic exploitation movie that benefits greatly from strong atmospheric direction by future cult director Lucio Fulci, who was making his horror film debut here. Further pluses include fine gruesome make-up effects from De Rossi and an excellent electronic score. Highly recommended to splatter and zombie fans, just be sure to see it in the widescreen format for full effect.

Summary: i am going to eat you blah blah blah
Review: A boat sails into a harbour. On board, a deadly occupant lies in wait, biding its time..waiting to eat someone. And thus we have Zombie, a weaker sister to a much more entertaing film like romero's "Day of the Dead". In this one we have the usual assortment of characters. Theres your prototypical mindless zombies who do little to distinguish themselves from their zombie brethren in other films (though one does wrestle a shark which is a new one for me). Theres a doctor, a sexpot,some challenged tourists and the proverbial confining environment (in this case an island)from which there is seemingly no escape. Ho hum. Overall we have an overrated italian flick with poor sound and lighting (though these are improved on the DVD) and a recycled plot. I suppose if return of the living dead or day of the dead are already rented you could do worse than Zombie (read:tombs of the blind dead.
