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

Don’t really get the hype
incredibly dull. the admittedly amazing shark vs zombie scene and the "eye" scene are the only interesting parts in this film. like all zombie movies, the characters are uninteresting, the backstory behind the zombies is dull, and there is no tension or variation in the plot whatsoever. just watch clips of those two scenes on youtube and you have gotten all you can out of this film.
Lucio Fulci's Zombie, also known as 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' in the uk. Still stands as a great Zombie movie, a great shark scene, and not to forget the classic Lucio Fulci's iconic eye scene.
Wow I can’t believe how good this was
Fucking sick.
