Guys, I have a bit of a problem I need help with. I'm getting th BU Zombie Blu Ray for my birthday, and I've never seen it. I'm hyping it up so much it's ridiculous. I keep imagining as the most fun I'll ever have watching a movie, and this is based on a 4 minute clip I saw on YouTube, and I know it'll never live up to my expectations, and if anything it'll terrify me. (Bloody Fulci zombies) So could you all tell me your honest opinion of Fulci's Zombie, just to get a rough idea of what to expect? Thanks

I first saw 'Zombie Flesheaters' (as us Brits know it) back in the 80's on video, and I thought it was a great film - lotsa blood in the opening sequence, jaw dropping shark scene, legendary eyeball scene, sickening zombie buffet scene, gripping final speech on the radio Watching it now, about 20 years older, and I find it laughable. The pace is very slow, the effects look incredibly phoney, the characters are stupid, there is no logic and the plot is only there to separate the gore However...I'm sure you already knew that The great film I saw as a teenager, which I couldn't stop raving over, is now a typical friday night leave-your-brain-at-the-door, beer-and-kebab film It is awful, but it is also a classic and I love revisiting the island of Matoul!

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.

it seems to be regarded higher than Fulci's other films like The Beyond and City Of The Living Dead which i find baffling as those two are atmospheric, gory and really beautifully shot, Zombie is a bit of a bore for me as i find it a chore to sit through but the BU disc is a thing of beauty..
