The 1979 unofficial sequel to Dawn of the Dead from prolific directo Italiano- Lucio Fulci, gives you that mix of zombie goodness but with a tropical twist, a bit like drinking Lilt from a human skull. BELLISSIMO!!
Plot: An unmanned yacht belonging to Tisa Farrow's dad, drifts into the docks of New York. Concerned about papa, she teams up with deceptively bald journalist-Ian McCulloch (Zombie Holocaust) and sets off to the island of Matul, only to discover a big ol' mess of Voodoo proportions and as it turns out, a doctor has been trying to find a cure for the reanimated dead. The film has gained considerable status among horror fans for it's memorable "splinter" scene, but mostly due to the now legendary fight between a zombie and a real shark. ZOMBIE VS SHARK, need we say more?
If you've seen this film, you'd be forgiven for thinking that women didn't discover tops, shower curtains and any sense of self preservation until sometime in the 1980's. Aside from the occasional bad dubbing and radio news readers that narrate their own death, well worth a watch.
Line of the film: "When the Earth spits up the dead, they will come back to suck the blood from the living".
Budget: $8,000,000
Gross: $?
Fun Fact: Don't worry about missing Zombi 1, it's doesn't exist. Zombi was the release title of Dawn of the Dead in Italy and they were just cashing in on it's success.
