    Lucio Fulci's "Zombie"

    One of the best Italian horror movies out there. Some of the dialogue is so cheesy...but what do u expect from a movie like this. However the gore is fantastic. Every zombie fan should have this movie in there collection. I used to own the Anchorbay VHS released in 1998 or 1999. I got rid of that once i bought the DVD from Anchorbay released in 2002. Needless to say..the dvd is a crap copy. Very grainy and distorted color in alot of places throughout the movie. I found the VHS copy alot better. Anyone out there have the Blue Underground release of the movie? If so..how is the picture quality? I gotta get myself a better copy.

    Movie rating: B-

    I have the DVD under its alternate title "Zombie Flesh Eaters", released by Umbrella horrorDVD. Decent copy, not many special features but the picture is fine. Now onto the movie! I'm a massive fan of Fulci, so this movie is a real treat for me. Everything about it is greatness!! The Zombies and gore appeal to me most. It's just a fun movie all around, and i'm happy to have it in my collection.

    Ive loved the film since I first saw it on the big screen. Very good indeed, but will never stack up to Romero's Night of the Living Dead. I also have a VHS copy of the film, but haven't watched it in some time. The film was very low budget and if I recall even the VHS copy was pretty grainy and distorted. I'll have to see if my VCR still works to find out.

    Don't remember much about this movie except a unique Zombie vs Shark fight which I still wonder how the hell Fulci managed to film that scene. Also an eye being gouged out that looked realistic. The zombies were kinda Hurt-ing though. Lots of over-applied make-up. When you break it down it seems to me like your average rubber zombie flick. prob a 6/10 for me

    The shark scene is one of my favorite from any movie.
    I think they drugged the shark.

    The shark scene was golden! Also, the music in this was quite catchy.

    No joke. They shot the shark up with a shitload of heroin, which has the exact opposite effect on sharks as it does on humans. The shark became slow and unaware of its surroundings. After the crew finally had its way with the big fish, they killed the critter and ate it. IT'S TRUE!!!

    and what affect do you think it has on humans :lol2:

    It is a depressant and usually causes people to pass out after injection or go into a sluggish state

    Has an amazing soundtrack, but the film is at best, so-so.

    Fulci, R.I.P.

    Now y'all are muthafuckin' talkin mah shit!
    I am 39, have been into horror since practically birth, my mom actually used to rent me movies without screening them 1st- yah, I seen Zombie, Gates of Hell, Maniac, Dawn of the Dead, and many others at the tender age of 12-14. So, Zombie is what helped form my love for the hardcore in horror. I mean, I did not know who the fuck Fulci was at age fuckin' 13, I just knew the cover looked bitchin'. Then watched it for 1st time and just could not believe it.

    Fulci's version of a "Zombie Trilogy"- Zombie, Gates of Hell, and The Beyond are on an equal par with Romero's Zombie trilogy for me, that's how much I love Fulci's atmosphere. It just makes the awful dialogue and bad acting (mostly) so forgiveable, and compare the gore effects of Zombie with Romero's Dawn...yah! You just gotta believe!!
    Ful-CI!! Ful-CII!! Ful-CIII!!!!!
