Zombie
Directed by Lucio Fulci
After making his name in the giallo subgenre, Lucio Fulci breathed new life into his career with this ultra-gory 1979 masterpiece about a group of unfortunate Americans who foolishly set sail for a remote Caribbean island that's crawling with worm-filled zombies. Thanks to its extraordinarily gruesome FX and that still-unbelievable zombie vs. shark-scene, ZOMBIE sparked a zombie-gore trend in Italy, and landed itself a permanent spot on the list of the greatest zombie movies in the history of the subgenre. Essential viewing for all Shudder-ers!
Lucio Fulci’s ultra-gory masterpiece is a must-see classic of zombie cinema.
Cast: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloh, Richard Johnson, Olga Karlatos

Sometimes, Fulci makes a movie I like and sometimes he bores the hell out of me. This bored the hell out of me. I really went into this expecting it to be Cannibal Holocaust but with zombies and gore but it's boring and not as all over the place gory as I expected it to be. There are violent kills from the zombies but overall, not a Fulci film I enjoy. So yeah.
Much better to watch with friends so you can laugh and oh and aww at all the crazy effects. Zombie/Shark fistfight is the best scene.
Amazing!!!
Zombie flesh eaters are going to eat you!
The eye kill is the best kill EVER
