This
trailer's soundtrack screams "Early eighties!" even
louder than fluorescent socks.
Italian
gore master Lucio Fulci throws more blood around in this
movie than most horror directors manage in a lifetime.
Not that you'd know from the trailer, which appears to
be a failed attempt at 'arty'.
This was
one of the infamous 'video nasties' banned by on VHS by
the UK in the mid-eighties. It was massively
popular, however, and as such home-copied tapes were
passed around so everyone could see the cool underwater
bit where a zombie fights a shark. It was finally
released uncut on DVD a few years ago under the 'Zombie
Flesh Eaters' title, finally showing the entirety of the
infamous scene where a woman has her eye slowly gouged
out by a bit of wood.
This movie
isn't a sequel to anything but was apparently released
as "Zombi 2" as an attempt to cash-in on the success of
Dawn of the Dead, which was released as "Zombi" in
Italy. Despite Zombie being written before Dawn of
the Dead. Confusing.
Favourite bit: "Barf
Bag" |
