Summary: Save your $$ Get Bad Taste instead.
Review: Zombie is right! The movie moves as slow as a zombie. There are a few good shots of gore however unfortunately it's mingled in with a bunch of boring story lines. It has several nudity scenes of ugly women. When I watch the movie I fast forward to the few good places and it takes about 15 min. to few the whole DVD. When I watch a gore flick I want to see a gore flick. Not a bad story with ugly nude women.

Summary: FULCI'S FINEST!
Review: This movie is known as "Zombie flesheaters" in the UK, and trying to obtain a decent copy of it has been a big problem for years for us Brits. It was banned altogether as a "video nasty" during the 1980s and the version that was finally reissued on video about ten years ago was ruined by excessive censorship. Even the "extreme" re-release which is now available still suffers from a couple of very brief cuts, which seems particularly pointless in this day and age when it's so easy to buy the full version online.The film stars Ian McCulloch (from the mid-70s cult TV series "Survivors") and Tisa Farrow (Mia's less talented sister) and begins as an apparently deserted boat is spotted drifting through Hudson Bay. A harbour patrol boat draws up alongside and two cops climb aboard to investigate. One makes the mistake of going down into the cabin to look around, and very soon the score is already Zombies 1 Humans 0.... The boat belongs to a famous scientist who set sail for the Antilles three months earlier but has since disappeared. His daughter Ann (Farrow) and journalist Peter West (McCulloch) decide to go and look for him, after reading a letter he sent from the island of Matul, in which he talks about contracting a mysterious disease. They fly to the Caribbean, hire a boat and are soon on their way to Matul, where they meet Dr David Menard who has been carrying out experiments on the disease, not believing local superstitions that it's caused by voodoo. Although the visitors are sceptical when he claims that it turns its victims into the "undead", before long we see compelling evidence that he might be correct.... Most classic gore movies have a particular moment that everybody remembers and in this case it's the notorious "eye-gouging" scene, but there's plenty more excellent gore on offer, as well as an amusing interlude involving a shark (possibly included because the movie was being made while the whole world was still in the grip of "Jaws" fever) and a very corny ending. The acting and dialogue aren't great by normal standards but well above average for a film of this type, and although the pace of the film is initially a little too slow, once our main protagonists arrive on the island it picks up very quickly. And considering the low budget Fulci had at his disposal the special effects are pretty good too. A lot of people find the soundtrack music annoying and it's certainly a little too loud at times. Featuring extensive use of the noise-generating capabilities of some primitive analog synth, the film's more dramatic moments tend to be accompanied by a crescendo of electronic belching noises, and there's also a rather tedious refrain which you have to endure over and over again. On the plus side, there's plenty of "voodoo" drumming which, when used in combination with the aforementioned synth sometimes manages to sound like primordial techno.... "Zombie flesheaters" is as good as it gets from Fulci, and IMHO is the only serious rival to George Romero's "Dawn of the dead" for the title of best zombie flick of all time. If you enjoy this film I'd also recommend Fulci's "The beyond" and "House by the cemetery".

Summary: FULCI LIVES!!
Review: What can I say about this movie? It's a fantastic gorefest, filled with some truly unique scenes. I mean, where else are you gonna see a zombie fighting with a shark underwater? Or the best eye-gouging scene ever made? Fulci was a genius, and this is one of his best films. Sure, it's a little cheesy, but that just adds to the fun! Anyone who's a fan of zombie flix, gore films or Fulci himself MUST own this movie. It's cool, creepy, and totally fun! Buy this today. You'll thank yourself in the morning, I promise!

Summary: The Undead Rock!!!!!
Review: Ummm...this movie is a gore fans classic. It has been afforded this 'classic' status over the years and with good reason. It ROCKS. Fulci has created a movie similar to Romero's in that it explores the zombie vs. man theme, but that's about as far as it goes. "Zombie" (Zombi II) is more in line with Universal's 'voodoo zombie' flicks of yesterday then Romero's social commentary in 'Dawn.' I think the voodoo theme works very nicely and plays out with more straight up 'dread' than did Romero's "Dawn" which had it's lighter moments. Very nicely done. As for the gore....it's not AS extreme as you would think, but still nice. The infamous splinter eye-gouging was awesome...one of the best I've ever seen, and then there is some nice throat ripping and one scene of eating of entrails and such, but "Dawn" seemed much more explosively graphic to me. I've seen much more graphic, but I dug the way Fulci created the voodoo-tension and went for the throat with this....check it out, it IS a classic.

Review: This movie is a joke just like the others directed by this joker. Everyone talks about the gore "What Gore" the zombies dont do anything other than look stupid. Bad acting, cheaps sets and awful dialogue thats all you get with Fulci movies and this is no different, those fools who love this joker of a director are real sad cases.

Review: In 1979 when I was 12 years old Zombie came out and from the commercial I could tell the movie delved into and dramatized the ultimate depravities. I nagged my father till one hot afternoon we drove all the way out to Eagle Rock and saw a matinee. The movie made a deep impression on me though now I don't remember it at all.

Summary: Brain..It's whats for dinner
Review: First off I give this movie 4 stars for a zombie flick. By regular mainstream movie standards this is probably a 1 or 2 star movie, depending on how easily offended you are. But as far as Horror/Zombie movies go, ZOMBIE is the best I've ever seen. The film has some really excellent cinematography, which really surprised me. The story is nothing ultra innovative but it's got some nice additions to the standard zombies come to life and eat people plot. The gore is not as over the top cheesy like "Bad Taste" or "Evil Dead" but there is plenty of blood and chunks of people everywhere. Also there is some boobage for those who like their movies naked. The movie as a whole has many cool scenes (Zombie vs. Shark is much neater than I thought it would be, not even in the dorky sense. I never thought a Zombie fighting a shark could be radical, but here we are)
The Video on the disc is kinda washed out and grainy. It's not really any better than a vhs copy. At points there are large patches of distorted color, and the blacks are actually dark blue. But this actually kinda adds to the movie and gives it more charm than if the film had been digitally restored. It is widescreen. The Audio isn't spectacular but isn't bad. Everything is heard very easily from voices to the bitchin' Zombie attack beat that appears throughout the film. The disc also includes TV and Radio Commercials and a commentary, which I haven't listened to.
Overall if you even remotely like Zombie movies, or cheesy horror movies, then you should already own this film. It's almost to good to be a B-horror movie, and I'm sure that will offend many fans. A surprisingly well-acted and well-filmed movie, Zombie has some great special effects and fight scene. Well Worth the Price of admission for any Gory movie fan.

Summary: Zombie is a BIG HIT all over again.
Review: I had never seen this movie before. However I was not at all Disappointed. I loved it. First of all there are things in this movie you won't see in movies today. We have the RATINGS people to thank for that. If you want to find out more about that, you need to listen to Wes Craven's audio commentary on the Scream movies. The RATINGS MOB, Threatened his movies with an X rating if he didn't shorten Scenes and delete others. Thats why he made it a sudden scare movie, instead of gore. That is also what stops other films from becoming great. Film Studios will never spend millions on a film they can't release in Theaters. Second it is VERY well done. There are no lines or age spots and it is not dated. It has a very Modern look to it. Third even the timming is right on, along with the acting. I also want to add this Film has a very costly underwater shot to it, and it is so clear, It remined me of the underwater shots in the James Bond films. You just can't get GREAT GORE like this today.
