Summary: A Horror Classic - better than ever!
Review: At last, the best Italian horror movie of all-time has received the full re-mastering treatment. It's wonderful to see it in it's full, uncut widescreen 2.35:1 glory - the old video pan&scan version wasn't worth seeing at all. Ian McCollugh's commentary is at times stilted, but worthwhile nonetheless. All in all, a great DVD of a great movie - horror fans MUST get this!!! Buy a DVD player if you don't have one!!

Review: Gore lovers, horror fanatics, everyone will love this film by the late, great, Fulci. Next to Romero's zombie trilogy, this is my favorite zombie movie. END

Summary: The Godfather of Gore
Review: Any fan of zombie films should have this Italian horror film directed by Lucio Fulci. Not as good as his masterpeice, "The Beyond", this films visceral impact is still enough to have you up for days. The gore is almost unbearable, and unique situations (such as a zombie vs. shark battle) raise this above the standard zombie fare. Portions of this film get pretty dull, and most of the acting is horrid, but you'll still be thoroughly entertained. END

Summary: A masterpiece every horror fan should own.
Review: Zombie has to be one of the best European horror movies ever made. This film has been considered a classic among horror buffs and one viewing of it will show you why. It has some of the most terrifying scenes ever captured on film, grotesque make-up effects, and a finale that is truly apocalyptic in scope. The story does leave a little to be desired but it works well with in the premise of the movie. If you are a true horror fan, this is a film which you should add to your collection. END

Summary: Dawn of the Dull
Review: Zombie is basically a cheap knock-off of the ultimately superior Dawn of the Dead, made directly after its release and even passed off in Zombie's native country of Italy as the sequel to George Romero's excellent film. This mediocre-at-best film is the dull story of a group of people who go to a mysterious island in search of a woman's father and discover that it is overrun by vicious, man-eating zombies. Director Lucio Fulci constantly bombards us with pointless blood and guts and the even more pointless ocassional naked woman. He does manage to add some style, but it's lost in the lack of plot and character. END

Summary: The greatest zombie movie ever made!!!
Review: Now, if you're into flesh eating zombies, eye-gouging, and lots of other heavy gore, DO NOT PASS UP THIS TITLE!!! This is, BY FAR, the greatest of all the Italian horror films of the late 70's and 80's. Directed by the late Lucio Fulci. 4 stars all the way!!!!

Summary: The worst Anchor Bay DVD I've seen
Review: Zombie is a fun movie. It's not very good, but it is entertaining.

This DVD is dreadful. The video is OK: non-anamorphic and a bit muddy, but reasonably clear most of the time and at least it's the original aspect ratio. The audio is tinny and hollow, sounding like those old badly mastered "bathroom acoustic" LPs where mono albums were turned into stereo.

The trailers etc are good to have, but the commentary by the lead actor (who's never seen the movie before) and a magazine editor is boring when it's there - and usually is silent.

There isn't even time code information to tell you how far into the movie you are, and there's no chapter display. Also the chapters listed on the box and the DVD menu do not correspond to the chapters on the disc.

The Beyond dvd was excellent. This is shoddy rubbish. Save your money.

Summary: AWESOME ZOMBIE FLICK!!!
Review: When you think of the all time great zombie movies George A Romero's trilogy "Night of the Living Dead" , "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead" most likely come to mind. Lucio Fulci's "Zombie", which has been called a sequel to the above mentioned "Dawn of the Dead", doesn't seem to be as popular and not as well known (at least around here) as Romero's trilogy. However, I believe Zombie is almost as good as the above mentioned

Plot is simple; Tisa Farrow plays Ann Bowles, when Ann discovers her father's boat to be abandoned in the New York Harbor her and reporter Peter West(Ian McCulloch) go searching for answers. Their search takes them to the small island of Matool where an unknown virus makes the dead stand up and walk, and of course they do much more than just walk. The plot is so simple yet extremely effective. The movie does move a bit slowly and the acting isn't very impressive but everything that makes a great horror movie is presented, creepy score, spooky elements, extreme gore and the most realistic, best looking zombies of any zombie movie I've ever seen.

This was only the second Fulci film I've seen but from seeing those two movies and reading other reviews it's easy to see a couple of Fulci's trademarks, bad dubbing and extreme gore. The killing scenes were awesome!! A big splinter through an eyeball, zombies feasting on dead woman's guts (that's pretty nasty!) and my favorite, a zombie tearing at the jugular of a woman as blood squirts out and shoots everywhere. If you haven't seen this movie yet and your a fan of horror movies add this one to your collection!!
