The Bloody Truth:
Zombie can be a very frustrating movie to watch. It’s slow pace, rambling
story and toughly unbelievable character actions never allow you to involve
yourself in the film. At every turn you are constantly reminded that you are
watching a low budget dated horror flick with next to no point of existing...
On the other hand you have a Zombie vs Shark battle. Need I say more?
This movie is as great as it is horrible. If you are a fan of Zombie movies
and somehow you missed Lucio Fulci’s classic go see it. The terrible
reality of flesh eating zombies is successfully captured in a few classic film
moments. This is a rollercoaster of love and hate. (mostly hate) If you are
not a fan of the classic zombie films then avoid this movie as if it were a
voodoo cursed tropical island.
