 Leader in "living dead" genre October 26, 2007

I enjoy watching zombie movies and I'd heard a lot about this one before I managed to get my hands on a copy. Some people had told me it was a classic of low budget filmmaking, others had warned me it was an absolute steaming pile of zombie pap. Now, having finally watched it, I don't think it's either of these things. br / br /The acting is bland in general, with the exception of veteran British actor Richard Johnson (looking a bit out of place, but having a great time hamming it up as the slightly mad Dr. Menard) and smirky Roger Moore look-alike Ian McCulloch. Al Cliver isn't too bad as a tough-guy tourist caught up in the zombie infestation, Tisa Farrow (yes, that's Mia's little sis) drifts through much of the movie looking distant and dazed, and Auretta Gay (they must have given her a hard time at school) takes her top off a lot but spends the rest of the time either over- or under-acting. br / br /The plot isn't much to speak of but it holds the attention, and considering the directors other horror movies, it's a miracle there actually is one. The ending annoyingly blunts any disturbing edge the film may have built up towards the end, and drags the movie fully into the realm of cheesiness. The lack of enough real tension and suspense among the pumping blood, punctured eyeballs and blazing gunfire is pretty disappointing too. That said, the action scenes are genuinely exciting (despite being kinda slow in coming) and the climatic sequence in Dr. Menard's hospital with the invading zombies vs. humans is quite enjoyable. br / br /Overall, I found that all this was not quite as horrifying as reputation suggests, probably because of it's age, lack of tension, or my stamina to being scared/disgusted. The memorable parts a battle between a zombie and a shark, and a graphic tracheotomy, (to name just two) easily make it worth the rental, plus some good special effects really caught my interest. Just don't expect much intelligence here that you'd find in Romero's undead flicks. On the whole, it's not brilliant, but it fits respectfully in this genre. br /

A word of warning about the two Shriek Show editions of Zombi 2. The version from 2006 is cheaper, but it is cut. The more expensive version from 2004 is uncut. And the Blue Underground version (called Zombie, although it is the same movie) is also uncut. br / br /Merry Christmas!
 Thanks alot all you fan boyz out there January 4, 2006

Thanks to this web page, and all of the fans of this movie, i rushed out and spent 40 dollars on the 2 disc 25th anniversary edition of this film.brNeedless to say, i was VERY DISAPPOINTED...how anyone can compare this work with the work of the zombie genius George Romero is beyond me. I will admit, some of the gory scene's made the film worth watching. BUT COME ON, ALL THE ZOMBIE KILLS WERE PEOPLE THAT JUST STOOD THERE AND DIED...very predictable, and very boring. DAWN OF THE DEAD c. 1970's is still the all time Lord of Zombie movies....Zombi 2 is, like I said, does have some redeeming features, but on the whole, i suggest anyone wanting to buy this disc, RENT Zombi 2 first.

This is the anchorbay release, which is cut. Get the Blue underground release or the media-blasters release. Three stars for being cut. But five stars otherwise.

this is an ode to all aspiring filmmakers because its concept was, and still is, so easy to realize. for any videogame lover, zombie is a must see. james bond never dealt with such filth on his tropical vacations. the voodoo element adds to the fear factor, not to mention the live worms crawling out of the zombie's eyes as they torment the camera. some very disgusing motifs dealing with eyes. if you are able to keep yours open for long enough you will be able to see the zombies take over NYC.
