I am about to feed the need! Yes boys and girls I have a new Zombie movie in front of me. This one dates ay back to the year of my birth 1979. You see as I said in a previous post the original "Dawn of the Dead" went over like gangbusters in Italy. So much so that is spawned a whole slew of Zombie movie rip-offs. The most famous of which is what is called "Zombie" in America. In italy the movie was called "Zombi 2." By the way "Dawn of the Dead" in Italy was called "Zombi." So this movie billed it'self as the sequel to "Dawn of the Dead." I don't know much about this film beyond that, except this. Apparently Lucio Fulci was not impressed with the Zombies in "Dawn of the Dead" (Who could blame him, the blood was made from melted red crayons, and the actors wore blue makeup and walked funny), and made the mandate that in his film, the Zombies look dead. He he he he he he he he he. So kids, without further ado....

Random Thoughts From the First Viewing of Lucio Fulci's "Zombie"

A gun pointed at Camera... like Bond. RAD!!!!!! 10 seconds in and we have a Zombie death!
Rad beat to this music..... and the credits roll.
Awww World Trade Center... and a ship sales into New York... an abandoned one.... if I know my Zombie films... and I do, that there sir is a Zombie ship!
Awesome! Badly dubbed people. Best part is they are supposed to be American, but they are speaking italian, and dubbed in English... he he he.
Swell zombie not shot in the head, went overboard, thats great. Maybe the fish will eat him.
Lots of shots of New York... impressive.
Bad cop, Bad cop no work so well boys.
Hooray horray horray, dead bitten cop going to come back all Zombified in the autopsy room? He is a twiching!
BTW this is filmed in 70mm panoramic widescreen format, the way all movies should be filmed!
Nice distraction! When in doubt, pretend that you are frelling.
Now we are in the tropics... okay?
That is one sheer shirt... with no Bra.
Words to live by. "I have found it pays to listen to local superstition"
This is a random creepy conversation.
What the hell! They said Zombie in a Zombie movie, that is a faux-pas.
Dum dum dum, holy crap it's an ethnic minority, and nasty music is playing near him... he must be evil!
BOOBS!!!! Ahh topless scuba diving in a thong... good stuff. Wait I figured out what is better, extranious sequence of topless scuba diving. I know whats better, extranious sequence of topless scuba diving in a thong, with a posstible shark attack, and then a underwater Zombie, and then the underwater Zombie wrestling and EATING THE FRELLING SHARK!!!!!
And an extranious shower scene, right-o! And shower girl dies horribly, ewwwww.... like mega ewwwww.
Not a lot of Zombies so far, just one or two... not impressed.
Wow that was some eating of a dead body there... very ewwwwww. And now we have 6 zombies.
Zombie Cam!!!!!!!.... and EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, that is one throat shot there.
NIce job on the Zombies, all wormy and gross. Although if these zombie are from the peroid they say they are from they wouldn't be nearly that fresh.
Nice shovel to a zombies face, that was rad.
Thisl last shot would have been cooler if the traffic wasn't going by underneath.

Review
Well "Zombie" is a lot better than a lot of the other zombie flicks I have seen recently, but it still wasn't all that good. Had a lot of cool moments, but like most of the zombie films the plot it seriously lacking. What most people forget is that to make a good zombie movie you need to have good characters. The characters in this movie are pretty bland. Also once the zombies really got rolling the movie was damn near over. The pacing was really bad. Lots of good gore, but really crappy characters, bad pasing, means really crappy movie... oh well.
