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

Definitely influenced future zombie films and series, wouldn't be surprised if it also directly influenced the walking dead series. I'd suggest for anyone curious about critical depictions of zombies in earlier films.

It was kinda boring, but the effects were impressive
So good! The gore in this film is awesome. It may not have the best story, but those zombies? So sick. Especially the zombie vs shark scene.
Yuck. Awful
