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

a true classic. excellent zombie movie.
One of the best.
This is my new favorite zombie movie
Quite possibly my favorite horror movie of all time. People who give this movie a low rating truly do not understand the magic behind Fulci and his over the top gore fx. Don't come for an amazing story, that isn't what these films are about. If you want an in depth story that takes 3 hours to tell, go watch a new school piece of trash from A24. This is a movie for splatter fiends. Enjoy the mess.
I put this movie #2 behind Night Of The Living Dead, for Zombie movies.
