ZOMBIE





Totally Uncut & Uncensored!
In Italy, it was considered the 'unofficial sequel' to DAWN OF THE DEAD. In England, it was known as ZOMBIE FLESH-EATERS and banned as obscene. In America, it was called ZOMBIE and advertised with the depraved tag line "WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!" Tisa Farrow (MANHATTAN), Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTING) and Ian McCulloch (CONTAMINATION) star in this worldwide splatter sensation directed by the Maestro Of Gore Lucio Fulci (CONTRABAND, CONQUEST, THE BEYOND) that remains one of the most eye-skewering, skin-ripping, gore-gushingly graphic horror hits of all time!

Now ZOMBIE has been remastered from it's original camera negative. Each flesh-eating frame has been lovingly restored to skull-rotting perfection. This is ZOMBIE like you've truly never seen or heard it before!

I watched this one with a date. We had alot of fun trying to second gues the plot as it moved along- eg "She is going to be the first one to get naked.", and "This guy is going to be the last one to get eaten by the zombies.", and the infamous "This character has my vote as the one who lives." Really I had no idea what to expect from this vintage bit of horror, and have to say that I enjoyed it! For its on sake, and not withstanding that i was on a date. The movie started great with an "abandonded" yacht blowing around adrift in NY harbor or some such (not form NY, so please excuse me if i got that wrong.) The boat is boarded by police and inspected. They, of course, are shocked beyond words to find themselves under attack by someone, who seems rather the worse for wear, and impervious to bullets, to boot!

One of the officers is killed, and ends up in the morgue. (ahem theres a bit of a give away for those of you familiar with the genre) An investigation is launched. The daughter of the owner of the boat shows up and teams up with a cop to find out just what the heck happened and where her pops is. The investigation, fraught with nocturnal creepings aboard the boat, lead our protagonists to a remote island which houses the hospital of a (YES) scientist / doctor. The Doctor explains what his relationship to her father is, and goes on to tell them a bit about the odd circumstances on the island. The daughter, investiogator, and the boat crew (whom they hired to get them to said island) basically spend the rest of the movie trying to not get eaten and to get back to the boat and make good an escape! duh. Obviously, the go through a harrowing chill filled jungle run and eventually...


well, go watch it yourself! I completely dug this movie and cant imganine the need of a barf bag, as is advertised in the trailer. It's a classic work of the Zombie tradition and zombie flick lovers will enjoy it with out a doubt!
