Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
ryan-10075 Lucio Fulci brings us perhaps his most famous horror film to wrap up the 1970s. And if I am wrong than that is just what I used to think before I had seen any of Fulci's films. This was the first Fulci movie I ever seen and I first saw this when I rented it with the equally as good 'House by the Cemetery' (also by Fulci) over a pizza. Right after the short intro the credits start rolling and we hear quite an amazing score from Fabio Frizzi. With the pounding bass drum and eerie keyboards. Great stuff! The story to the film though starts with zombies being found on an abandoned boat in the NY harbour. The daughter of the man who owns the boat Anne Bowles is played by the beautiful Tisa Farrow (sister of Mia Farrow). After she meets up with news reporter Peter West (Ian McCullough) they go in search of her father in Caribbean Island of Matul. Within I believe every one of Fulci movies I have seen to date (8 in total) there is some odd things going. Right to the point of it being ridiculous. He hits the high of ridiculousness here when a zombie (who incredibly comes out of nowhere) fights a shark in the ocean. You would think a moment like that would hurt a fight...badly. But not here. It actually goes along quite well with the film. The film is dripping with memorable gore, so if you are not into gory zombie movies steer clear. If so dive right in.
Brett_M_Mullen It's ridiculous that this film isn't rated higher. This is the film that set the stands for the decaying zombie... Fulci is one of the best directors that has ever lived.
nickboldrini This film has dated badly, as special effects have improved, but its easy to see why it was so shocking at the time. The story is reasonably well told, and it harks back to the old Voodoo roots of zombies, which gives it a slightly different edge. There are plot holes and flaws throughout, but as an early example of the genre its worth seeing for completists.
Tweetienator If you like zombie movies you know of course Fulci's works, but in the case that you like everything zombie related and you are too young to know his work and by whatever demonic influence you didn't stumble over his movies, this one is a very good start to explore Mr. Fulci's truly gory B-movie cosmos.
