Zombie Flesh Eaters are here!!!!
Dec 15 2004
Format:DVD
Zombie(Zombie Flesh Eaters, as it is known in England)is one of the better zombie films. When i first heard about this film i was desparate to see it because it was banned for 16 years in England, and this made me think that it would be very gory.
Then about five Months ago saw it a shop for a very cheap price and straight away i bought it. And as soon as watched it thought it was excellent, the eye piercing sceene alone is very realistic and brilliant. This film only comes second to Day of the Dead. But beware the two sequels they are absolutely awful. If you like zombie films i recomend, City of the Living Dead, House by the Cemetary, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Dead Alive and The Beyond.

Leader in "living dead" genre
Oct 26 2007
Format:DVD
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.
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.
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.
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.

Zombi 2
Mar 8 2005
Format:DVD
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.
