So could you all tell me your honest opinion of Fulci's Zombie, just to get a rough idea of what to expect? Thanks |
It's generally regarded as a classic but, as suziginajackson said, it hasn't aged as well as some of Fulci's more plot oriented films: some of the dubbing is laughable, the acting leaves a lot to be desired and the SFX make-up is frequently unconvincing.
However, I love it as the time seems to fly by and I seem to like it more with every viewing. It's a step below something like Dawn of the Dead (even though the zombie effects are similar) as it doesn't have the intelligence of Romero's zombie masterpiece.
Just try and clear your mind as much as possible and watch it without any preconceptions so you can give it an honest appraisal.
