Lucio Fulci did great things for horror, he gave us houses by cemetaries, the beyond and this.  This is a masterpiece of horror.  The pinnicle of the art.  The most influential horror film of that era.  Feared by the masses.  Loved by more.  The film oozes style, the island setting provides an innescapable area of land. The moaning gives a sense of dread. The zombies look amazing...todays special effects are great, but the make-up in this give an unparralled gritty, dirty feeling to ALL of the zombies.  Most are skeletal, held together by skin and tattered clothes, more 'fresh' zombies are drooling, silent jerky corpses.  The story is just a reason to trap an assortment of people on an isolated island to be chewed apart by ravenous corpses.  The gore is the selling point.  I watched the film for that reason.  GORE.  The death scenes are amazing. Eyes are gouged out by pieces of wood excruiciatingly slowly. Throats are ripped open several times, some slow motion scenes allow for the blood to gush everywhere. These scense are grotesque, but the zombies die better.  Heads are caved in by tombstones, headsa blown up with shotguns, burnt, crushed.....ALL good.  There is a lot of flesh eating, not as much as the name implies, but a lot. The film does not dissappoint.  Go and see it.

[WEBMASTER'S NOTE: Zombie Flesh Eaters is only one of the many titles for this film.  Probably BEST known by the titles Zombie, Zombi 2, or Island of the Living Dead.]
