ZOMBIE
Directed by: Lucio Fulci
Written by: Lucio Fulci & Dardano Saccehetti
Produced by:
The story begins as a deserted boat sails silently into New York Harbor. Unsuspecting cops looking for a little booty (and no not that kind) are attacked by a zombie. He is quickly shot (not in the head) and falls into the harbor leaving one cop dead. Can you see where this could be heading?
The story than changes course. Ann (Tisa Farrow) is called down to the boat, because it belongs to her father. She hasn't heard from him in a long time and decides to head off to the Caribbean Island of Matool. She is accompanied by a newspaper reporter Peter West (Ian McCulloch). Arriving on the island, they y find it infested with the walking dead. Oh no....the drums!!! Is it voodoo, or something else bringing these dead bastards back to life?
Dr Menard (Richard Johnson) works feverishly to find a cure, while leaving his sexy wife to died a gruesome death at the hand of the undead (there is always a shower scene). They way she dies sets Lucio Fulci at a great level of excellence. There is also a great underwater scene where a zombie does battle with a shark. Tons of gore..... me like gore.
I saw this movie a year ago after hearing so much talk about how Lucio Fulci is a genius. Well when I rented the film the first thing that pissed me off was that is was dubbed. Eventhough the people are talking english?? But - - Lucio makes up for it in his still of horror and gore. The zombie's look so cool compared to the zombies in DAWN of The DEAD. This film is truley special. If you want to rent a film but not one you have seen before. Get this film. IT REALLY KICKS ASS! (I was told that Lucio Fulci and George A. Romero wrote and worked together in a movie called ZOMBIE 2. But they got into a fight later on and the movie never came to america. This film Zombie 2 is the conclusion to DAWN OF THE DEAD. Im trying so hard to get my hands on it. )
