Summary: Too slow
Review: It takes over an hour before it gets any good. The last twenty minutes are all thats worth watching as FINALLY zombies show up and start doing what they do best. I like many of the Italian horror movies, but i wouldn't put this one on the top of my list. Decent gore effects though

Summary: Great movie, though slow to pick up...
Review: I bought this movie after reading all the great (and terrible) movies for this. Now, I'll admit that in the beginning I wasn't impressed because this is probably the slowest-paced movie I have ever seen! I thought that I had been ripped-off and I almost took it out of my DVD Player. But, I didn't. The first 30 min. are really boring, but after you've seen the movie a couple of times all the way through, you can just skip it. There were some great scenes that will (and have been) be written in history as some of the greatest moments in a movie. (Splinter breaking off in the eye, anyone?) Although I was a little disappointed that the Shark vs. Zombie scene wasn't what I expected. But, a good scene nevertheless. To sum it up, I enjoyed and will show it to my friends to make sure that they get to enjoy ZOMBIE!

Summary: ZOMBIE...YUM YUM!!
Review: This is actually a pretty good zombie movie, just make sure you have already eaten before you see it, or that you won't be eating for awhile after viewing it! Effects are pretty decent, and it is kind of difficult to watch the eye impaling scene without turning away, or watching between squinted eyelids! A must have for any gorehound! ENJOY!!

Summary: Zombie--nothing too edible
Review: Lucio Fulci's best known movie opens with a seemingly abandoned sailboat that nearly collides with other boats along the coast of New York City. The Harbour Patrol board the boat, to find it a mess and abandoned. Well, nearly. One of them is attacked by a monster and killed.The boat's identified as belonging to the father of Ann, who went to the Antilles for some research and from whom she hasn't heard of in three months. She teams up with Peter West, a British reporter living in NYC who dissatisfied with the police's version of the story, finds a letter from Ann's father, who had contracted some strange disease on the island of Matoul. The two get there with the help of Susan and Bryan, a couple on holiday. However, Dr. Maynard, in charge of the hospital, has problems on his hands to the point that he wraps his patients in sheets, ties them down, then shoots them in the head as they rise up. When he welcomes the quartet, the zombies have already started attacking, even killing the doctor's wife in a scene where her eyes gets pierced by an attacking zombie. That unfortunate victim is played by Olga Karlatos, known for playing Prince's mother in Purple Rain. Following the movie are movie and TV trailers, and a few radio spots for the movie, which aren't much to scream about. However, one of the movie ads boasted the distribution of barf bags to the audience. Amusing. While achieving the shock level of flesh-eating zombies, blood gushing out from jugular veins, and heads squirting out blood when shot, there aren't many outstanding or appealing characters. Plus there's no credible or scientific explanation, other than voodoo rituals, of what caused the zombies to start popping out of the ground, which by the way is one of the neat effects in the movie. The grotesque look of the zombies and the siege on the church is best enhanced on a big screen. Worth a look once in a while, but highly overrated. Watch the original Night Of The Living Dead instead.

Summary: Poetry or Pap ? This is the uncut version....
Review: UK viewers might want to be assured that this is the complete version of what we know as 'Zombie Flesh Eaters'. The eyeball sequence is uncut and (to my mind more importantly) the Zombie feast is also present in this version: for some reason fans of the film from all over the net fail to mention this important scene when referring to this version.
Great widescreen, good sound - best version I've seen of this film that despite its flaws (derivative dialgogue for example) has moments of sheer lovecraftian poetry (the conquistador dead rising from their graves) and absurd flakinness (underwater Zombie versus shark). Buy this version and avoid all the UK editions thus far...

Summary: Must see for any horror fan
Review: This film takes its place amongst the pantheon of a select few, a well done watchable zombie movie! This was the most successful of the Italian knock-offs of George Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD, much like FRIENDS was a successful rip-off amongst the SEINFELD clones. The film in its own right spawned a load of knock-offs, some of whom were probably packaged as ZOMBIE 2,3,4 etc. Blatantly ripping off whole movies is entirely acceptable and fully encouraged in italian filmmaking.
The film, is quite simple, it involves an island plagued with flesh-eating zombies and the small group of characters who are drawn there for personal reasons. I really don't feel like summarizing the simple plot of ZOMBIE but its fairly enjoyable. The special effects and make-up of the zombies is done pretty well, and there are some truly ghastly moments of various people running afoul of the bloodthirsty creatures. Its safe to say that this is not for the faint of heart. Mr. Fulci(the late, great director of this undead cannibalistic munchfest) does not cutaway from the gross-out moment, but instead lingers as a truly horrible and gory moment unfolds.
There's action, gratuitous nudity, and more zombies than you can shake a greiviously empty carbine at! So get yourself a copy if you can from the fine folks at Amazon[.com].

Summary: This is a must buy for any Zombie movie fan!!!...
Review: I was only eight years old when I watched Romero's "Dead" series and it really didnt affect me.Well Im 34 now and this movie terrified me when I watched it.I had seen it a long time ago but it was cut all to pieces by american censors.So be sure to get the unedited version...you wont be sorry.The best part of this movie has to be the Zombie attack when the couple is making out.But this movie is filled with great scenes.

Summary: Decent Zombie flick
Review: Fulci was a cool guy, and movies like The Beyond are some of the best I've ever seen come out of any horror director. This is why I was let down by his film, Zombie. The effects are great, and are extremely realistic. The problem I have is that there are no interesting characters to keep the film going, just a simple plot to get from one gore scene to the next. While this is a definite for zombie film fans (like myself), I'd slip past this one if you're just a casual passer by. I'd recommend The Beyond instead, though the zombies in it don't do much in the way of eating. Kudo's to the cameraman, fulci's directing, and to the great music. I just wish that the story and characters had been more interesting.
