Summary: ZOMBIE: A HORROR MASTERPEICE
Review: This movie has to be one of Fulci's greatest. I loved eveything about it. It's incredible. But, i did have a very different opinion when i first saw it. First time I whatched it, I hated it. I thought it was horrid. I gave it some time and viewed it with and open mind and now I love it. You really need an open mind to understand Fulci's work. Most mainstream critics would shun this film and say "its all about the gratuitous violence" "blah blah blah". The "regular joe" would most likeley hate this picture has well. I'd say its for most hardcore horror fans, espcailly fans of 80's italian horror and fans of Fulci. The "eyeball puncture" scene is great. its classic. I also like when the zombie "from the cover" rips susans neck apart and the angle of the zombie lunging right twards the camera. I thought that looked great. Plenty of gore, plenty of exploding heads, plenty of flesh-eating goodness. I love it. I leave on saying this... You made hate this film but remember, its really just made for fans of these type of movies. If you hate it, view it again with an open mind.

Summary: Lively action, Dead acting
Review: I love the concept of this movie, and I also enjoyed the cinematography (very artistic). However, there were too many things working against this movie. The voice-overs were sometimes worse than a kung fu flick. The lines and acting were cliche, save the professor, whose acting I think saved the movie. And the explantion for the zombies was vague. Then again, looking back, this movie was really about grossing you out with cool special effects. I do think that in that respect it passed.

Summary: *Lucio Fulci at His Very Best, No Lie*
Review: Alright, don't get me wrong, but "The Beyond" is a wonderful acheivement by Lucio Fulci!! But. . ."Zombie" is definitly his greatest addition to his "Living Dead" collection. This movie is so depressing that it actually makes you think about what you would do if you were in this situation! Lucio Fulci takes you into the world of "Zombie" and keeps your mind in it for hours after the flick. I wish that words could in fact give a good enough example of just how great this flick is, but they just don't. Okay, here's the breakdown of the film:1. Very, very impressive and believable Zombies.
2. Wonderful storyline.
3. Decent voice-overs.
4. Great setting.
5. Right up there with the scariest flicks of all time.
6. Lucio Fulci found much better actors.
7. Enough gore that the producers put a caption at the end of the Trailer stating that the theaters will be giving out "barf-bags" at the doors.
8. Contains trademark "Gore Scene" from Lucio Fulci.
9. Did I mention Great looking Zombies? If you haven't been scared by a movie in a while. . .purchase this movie. If you haven't seen a decent "Zombie" movie in a while, watch this movie. Or if you haven't seen a decent movie period, give it a shot! You won't be disappointed!!!!

Summary: Definitive Zombie
Review: Rotten dead folks rising from the ground, zombies eating people, beautiful women in fear of their life. It doesnt get much better than this for a movie about the living dead. Lucio Fulci, while best know for The Beyond and House by the Cemetary, out did himself in the gore dept. in this beauty. And unlike other Fulci films this one is quite cohesive and comprehensible. The acting, dubbing, or both was much better in this film than some of his others. The DVD plays well with a nice picture and good sound.

Summary: THE BEST ZOMBIE FILM EVER!...
Review: What can be said about this film that hasn't been said already? Nevertheless i still felt ir deserved another good review. THis film is ace, great story, great gore (as long as you don't get the stupid, pointless cut versions) and brilliant camera work.
The only low points of this film are the dubbing and the occasional ropey acting. But the astounding shark scene and the gruesome deaths more that make up for that. The other thing i like about this film is the zombies, Fulci's zombies are always the best, slow, decayed and sinister looking. This film admitedly has flaws, and i'm sure after you've watched it you'll have noticed them. But either way this is an exceptional piece of work and is undeniably Lucio Fulci's finest film.

Summary: Avoid Like the Plague
Review: This movie is boring. If it is slow to build suspense it failes miserably. I can't believe I bought this bomb. The only remotely interesting part is the end where the zombies take over New York City and that is such a relief because it signifies the end of this stinker. The gross parts were gross -- I got to give it that, but there just wasn't enough of them. Take a caffeine pill before you watch this movie to help you stay awake.

Summary: FULCI AT HIS BEST
Review: Fulci is at his best here. The movie is so cool. the gore just keeps on comin'. The splinter through the eye scene is the absolute greatest scene in all of horror. Also, the ending is great.

Summary: A Beautiful Film
Review: Since there are already 147 reviews before me, I won't waste anyone's time or my own telling what this movie is about. So to be brief, great fx, great atmosphere, decent acting, awesome soundtrack (an absolutely haunting keyboard theme by Fabio Frizzi), great gross out scenes, and a decent (though minimal) plot. The plot's simplicity leaves much to the imagination. There are some beautifully shot, breath taking scenes such as the underwater zombie/shark fight, and the ressurrection scene in the jungle. This film is nothing less than beautiful. Some might find it outdated, but what do they know? A movie doesn't have to be hip and modern for me to enjoy. In fact I quite disslike "hip" films. So if you're interested in checking out some of Lucio Fulci's horror films, this is the one to start with. Now, about the dvd. I don't see what the big fuss is. The sound quality is satisfactory, and I can hear more sounds in the music than on the video tape from the same studio. The picture quality is crystal clear and quite beautiful in places, and satisfactory in others.
In conclusion this is the greatest zombie move ever, aside from all 3 films in Romero's "Dead" trilogy. But prepare for some nausesa. Zombie rules! Hail Fulci!

Summary: Get eaten alive with Lucio Fulci
Review: ...as our few protagonists,trapped on isolated island.Sure,they dont believe in voodoo,until they dont see it.Walking dead.And until the night falls,more and more zombies are there,between the trees,behind the window or breathing them on the neck.
Everytime,you get taste for good,gore horror with zombies,think of this masterpiece.You get your chilling piece by piece,with slowly building dusty atmosphere,filling with some perfect gory moments,maybe the best make-up in horrors,or with blood everywhere around.Italian horrors always have perfect camera work,like here,thanks to Sergio Salvati.And I dont understand bad reviews on acting here,everything is right there,where it belongs.

Summary: OUTDATED MOVIE.
Review: The acting, dialogue and overall feeling of this movie is sadly outdated, boring and with little thrill to today's standards. The original night of the living dead is perhaps a much better movie. The quality of this dvd is very bad with a picture quality below vhs standars and the sound is very flat and very late 60s style. Overall: BAD.
