Description:
We Are Going To Eat You! The Fulci Classic Returns, And Once Again The Dead Are Among Us!
Amazon.com:
In Lucio Fulci's genre classic Zombi 2, the dead rise once again to terrorize and consume the flesh of the living, this time Caribbean style! Those new to Fulci should note Island of the Flesh-Eaters, Zombi 2, and the more commonly known Zombie all refer to the same film. Though there is no Zombi 1, Fulci's film was titled Zombi 2 to capitalize on the commercial success of Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Though marketed as a sequel in Italy, the only similarities to Romero's classic are the title and the fact that the dead rise to eat the flesh of the living. Instead of being a metaphor for consumerism, Zombi 2 is a straight-out adventure story that ends in a horrific, apocalyptic nightmare. The plot is fairly straightforward, and more or less exists simply as a structure to hang scenes of extreme gore and terror on. Dr. Bowles's boat floats into New York Harbor missing its crew and carrying an undead passenger. The doctor's daughter (Tisa Farrow), dead set on finding out what happened to her father, teams up with journalist Peter West (Ian McCulloch) and heads to the cursed island of Matool, where a zombie epidemic is growing and Dr. Bowles's friend, Dr. Menard (Richard Johnson), is desperately trying to find a cure. Will Anne find her father? Will Dr. Menard find a cure? Will our heroes escape? In all honesty, who really cares? Because those in the "know" already know you don't come to a Fulci film looking for Shakespeare. What Zombi 2 lacks in plot development and continuity, it more than makes up for in atmosphere, intensity, and of course the trademark Fulci gore. Some of the unique high points are the never-duplicated zombie-versus-shark vignette, the rising of the Spanish zombie conquistadores, and Fulci's trademark eye shot. Fans of Italian/apocalyptic/cannibal/zombie films should not miss Zombi 2. Along with The Beyond, it defines the genre. --Rob Bracco

Well, what can I say about the classic scenes that weren't said already? Really, nothing. But here's my 2-cents worth: I first saw "Zombie" at the old Aztec 3 moviehouse in San Antonio when I was a kid. Having already seen the original Romero's "Dawn of the Dead", I expected a cheap copy so typical of Italian cinema, but as the saying goes, "better to be plesantly surprised than heavily dissappointed", as this movie became one of my all-time favorites like "Dawn of the Dead", the main difference ...

I saw this in the theater with in a double feature with Dawn of the Dead and the difference in atmosphere and creepiness was so stark the film stuck with me years later. You can make an arguement that The Beyond is Fulci's best work but for me it's Zombie (Zombi 2) and this version by Media Blaster's is the best it's ever looked. I had the very rare Japanese laserdisc for awhile and this blows that away. While Italian horror is not for everyone, I highly recommend this to any zombie film fan. It slowly ... Read More

Bad actors, no tension, compaired to Romero this is a D-movie. Really terribly bad. In every way. Poor, weak, lacks quality. Obsolete.

Since this movie claims that it is Dawn of the Dead's sequel, I will make the assumption that this film needs to be compared to Dawn of the Dead.
There are many positives to Zombie when comparing to Dawn of the Dead. For example, zombies look more like the actual walking dead, rather than the face painted zombies of Dawn. Not only do the zombies look real, but also many of the graphic scenes were gruesome and horrifying. The Dr's wife demise was probably one of the most horrific scenes in ... Read More

This movie was pretty dang good for an early 80's flick. And how can you not like a movie that has a zombie vs. shark scene in it?! Yes, this movie had its cheeseball moments, but I enjoyed it and any zombie movie fan would do well to see it once. its not scary, but its kind of neat how they did some of the effects.
