Zombi 2 [25th Anniversary Special Edition] [2 Discs] [dvd New]
After a New York harbor patrolman is murdered at the hands of a flesh-hungry ghoul aboard what was believed to be an abandoned yacht, Anne (Tisa Farrow)--the daughter of the ship's missing owner--teams up with a newspaper reporter named Peter West (Ian McCulloch) for a private investigation. With the help of a pair of sightseers, they travel to the secluded Caribbean island of Matul, where Anne's father was last seen conducting medical research. There, they meet his colleague, Dr. Menard (Richard Johnson), who frantically attempts to find a scientific explanation for a phenomenon that has plagued the island; it seems as if the dead refuse to stay dead. The locals believe a voodoo curse is at work as scores of animated corpses rise from their graves to hungrily seek out live flesh. Anne learns her father has died, but before she and the others can return to civilization, they are forced into battle with a plethora of bloodthirsty zombies. Italian maestro Lucio Fulci's most lucrative outing features an abundancmore

Zombie
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"more

The Future Of ZOMBIE Walks Amongst Us.
from pagansadog on Sunday, February 27, 2011
2.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Uncut, uncensored, fully re-stored and re-mastered from the original camera negatives.
 Cons:
 "ZOMBIE is, extremely boring: Poor acting, ridiculous dialogue and cheesy make-up effects."
Bottom Line: This is the definitive version of any zombie film at its very roots. Lucio Fulci never ceases to share his illustrious imagination; a film-maker who never gave up.
Review: 25 years in a forgotten state, known by few, Lucio Fulci's supposedly "unofficial sequel" to Dawn Of...
Zombie - Insanely over-rated like a majority of Fulci's work. 60%
from luquillo on Thursday, May 27, 2010
3.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Great gore and zombie make up
 Cons:
 Unrealistic characters, weak plot, worthless scenes, tedious
Bottom Line: Recommended only to serious zombie fans, gorehounds, and Fulci fans.
Review: When a boat turns up in the New York Harbor, a Coast Guard patrol team begins to investigate. A...
A former fanboy comes down on Fulci's ZOMBIE (25th AE DVD review).
from deadmilkboy on Wednesday, June 04, 2008
3.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 The notorious set pieces still disturb, and there is merit to some formal elements.
 Cons:
 Tedious, senseless, lacking adventure, drama and even horror.
Bottom Line: It's tough reconciling fanboy appreciation with serious criticism, but ZOMBIE is one of the lesser movies I've seen associated with cult status.
Review: My feelings for Lucio Fulci have changed somewhat in the past several years, mostly due to a sense o...
Zombi 2
from steelcorpfilms on Monday, February 04, 2008
4.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Wonderful Lucio Fulci gore and a decent story with a cool ending.
 Cons:
 Some of the acting is pretty cheesy.
Bottom Line: I'd say Zombie is the best Lucio Fulci movie I've seen to date. It's worth checking out, if only for the zombie/shark scene and the final scene in the movie.
Review: This was surprisingly better then the other Fulci movies I've seen. The plot actually held together...
Lucio Fulci's "ZOMBIE"
from cdoggx on Wednesday, October 08, 2003
4.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Giannetto de Rossi's gore FX, outstanding zombies, final half-hour is fantastic!
 Cons:
 We have to wait for that final half-hour, a couple boring scenes...
Bottom Line: Fulci's "ZOMBIE" is a must for any 'serious' zombie movie enthusiast, "ZOMBIE" gets a good recommendation from this reviewer...

Zombies ate my rental dollar (yet again!)
from Shampoo-Girl on Thursday, November 28, 2002
3.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Better than most other spaghetti zombie flicks
 Cons:
 Bad dubbing, wooden acting, too gory for some
Bottom Line: George Romero may be the Godfather of zombie flicks but Fulci still gets the award for best make up.
Review: Old spaghetti zombie flicks are often known for their cheap effects, bad dubbing and poor direction....
Zombie Flesh Eaters
from brodieman on Friday, August 23, 2002
3.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Comprehensive, gory and above all watchable.
 Cons:
 Occasionally poor dubbing and the editing can be just awful.
Bottom Line: One of the better horror flicks to be inspired by Romero, Zombie hits home because Fulci forsakes confusion and for once keeps things simple.
Review: There is an irresistible simplicity to Zombie Flesh Eaters; from the eerie opening shot of an uniden...
Zombie: Italian version of DAWN
from xxxxer on Wednesday, July 04, 2001
5.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Gore, gore and more gore
 Cons:
 Fulci was never one for a great story or plot
Bottom Line: Gorey goodness from the "godfather of gore" Fulci. Any horror fan who can stomach it should definitely see this one.
Review: This Italian version of DAWN OF THE DEAD is, in my opinion, probably as good as that classic, or at...

Italian Cannibalism: Care for some Plasma Pasta?
from Kwee on Wednesday, May 24, 2000
5.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Truly terrifying, realistic nightmare.
 Cons:
 Effects are disturbingly real: NOT for the squeamish. Also, the dubbing is....well....REALLY BAD. But, I guess it's not so noticeable that it lessens the effect of the movie. I'm sure most people don't watch for dubbing quality on films like I do. ^_^
Review: Over many years, I have had a rather innate fascination with death. I have, since I was about 9, re...

from evilghost on Thursday, April 27, 2000
5.0 / 5.0
 Pros:

 Cons:
 Not quite up to N. American standards
Bottom Line: a great homage to Romero's dead saga, Fulci gives us a true gorefest.
