Zombie
Directed by Lucio Fulci
After making his name in the giallo subgenre, Lucio Fulci breathed new life into his career with this ultra-gory 1979 masterpiece about a group of unfortunate Americans who foolishly set sail for a remote Caribbean island that's crawling with worm-filled zombies. Thanks to its extraordinarily gruesome FX and that still-unbelievable zombie vs. shark-scene, ZOMBIE sparked a zombie-gore trend in Italy, and landed itself a permanent spot on the list of the greatest zombie movies in the history of the subgenre. Essential viewing for all Shudder-ers!
Lucio Fulci’s ultra-gory masterpiece is a must-see classic of zombie cinema.
Cast: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloh, Richard Johnson, Olga Karlatos

The eye kill is the best kill EVER
Out of the whole runtime there are only 5 minutes of enjoyment featuring the only 2 good kills, a couple shots with solid imagery, and tits. The rest is a boring meaningless plot that makes this feel no more special than any other B movie.
One of my fav zombie movies- unforgettable scenes with a shark, a stab in the eye and in the Brooklyn bridge.
A fantastic zombie film and will always be a classic!
Pretty good stuff. Very “uniquely simple” for its time, and with great practical effects that don’t look dated.
