"WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU" is a legendary tagline. No messing about, no beating around the bush, just a simple statement; a threat, promise and guarantee rolled into one. Doesn't matter how far you run, where you hide or how much barricading you do: we are the zombies, and we ARE going to eat you.
The one thing that I noticed the first time I watched the film as being incredibly dated was the reuse of a scene of someone throwing a molotov. Someone throws a molotov in a barn, the barn goes up, then they throw "another one" and it's the same exact shot as the first. lol
TheMouseAvenger that is one hell of a jump. I would love to know how she made the jump from Italian cinema to Purple Rain. I’m guessing it’s because she was married to Arthur Rankin of Rankin/Bass animation.
@@mansquatch7433 yeah and when she is blind in one eye now aswell.. Funny though I can't remember her only having one eye in purple rain.. I must of missed it because she couldn't like grow a whole eye back could she.. I'm confused..
I read the Pentagon actually commissioned a study on the risk rate of a zombie apocalypse. Result: zombies would be easily massacred by the superior-armed humans in vastly greater numbers. That;s why they had super-fast zombies in that Brad Pit movie.
+dreamlandnightmare It was used as a training exercise. A brief explanation and a link to the document can be found here: www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/pentagon-has-zombie-apocalypse-emergency-plan/
Hey, Atleast we can rest easily knowing the Pentagon actually does have some kind of "Contingency Plan" in the event of something like that happened. Hopefully it won't be the return of the living dead equivilant where they just fire a nuclear artillery shell into the heart of a metropolitan area.
So basically because America has so many gun nuts, it would be impossible for a zombie apocalypse to wipe out humanity or even last more than a day...that and there has been so much oversaturation of zombies in the horror genre that people would figure it out quickly and stop the whole damn thing in it's tracks in no less then a measly 90 minutes. With that in mind, we'd be more likely to get wiped out by a dragon apocalypse like in Reign of Fire...but let's be honest, The only apocalypse scenario that is most likely to actually happen and take the whole world by storm is the Mad Max apocalypse.....WITNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS!
I saw this back during its release as part of a triple horror feature at the Eric Terminal on 69th St. in Philadelphia. The lineup was Zombie, The Boogeyman and Blood Beach. Great times. Scary movie. Loved it!
@@Asertix357 Or even just covering the damn thing with her hand. It probably wouldn't have saved her, but at least she would have avoided the eye-gouging.
I found this movie through its composer Fabio Frizzi. He did a piece in the 70’s rerelease/recut/colorization of Godzilla ‘56 and that was redone for this movie and then City of the Living Dead. Haven’t seen City, but this is a pretty textbook Italian exploitation film. Only Italian films I saw before this was the Dollars Trilogy and Once Upon a Time in the West, and those aren’t exactly standard fare for Italy at that time.
In response to your question at around 23:40 - yes, I think you might have. The fact that his body was so well preserved at this point kind of requires you to suspend your perception of reality though.
Hey Brad! It’s your December bday sis, Trish! This came up after my friend and I geeked out about this film on my podcast this week! Thanks to you lending me your copy back in the 00’s, I know this film! Ps-loved the bit you did! Glad to see you got to finally find a large audience for your genius mind 💜😊 💀
i fuckin love this movie, the eye part makes me cringe every time. my fav scene is either the zombies coming out of the graves or the zombie shark fight. though i do feel bad for the shark cuz i think it was real so the shark really got hurt? im not 100% on that though. this movie also has some of the best practical fxs, the make up is amazing.
This was probably before "No animals were harmed in the making of this movie". Or safety standards for Italian movie studios were looser than America's.
"Or Woodoo in Denmark" and you show a German poster. Im no expert in this, since this movie is way before I was born. But typically as far a I know, low budget foreign gore films weren't allowed in my country. The only foreign films we got were usually American, and even American explotation films weren't on sale here. So I don't think this movie has ever been in Denmark
The visual effects in this film are pretty damn good considering the budget. That being said, the whole eye impalement scene is so unrealistic in that she would have be able to at least position her head as to not hit the eye, plus it would become an autonomic response to close ones eye as hard as possible if it were about to hit something.
The nude scubadiving scene is like a dream, the soundtrack, the colors of the ocean's depths, the wildlife and the woman's amazing curves all make the scene something straight out of a Frank Frazetta painting, pure art.
3:01 Right there is an example of how insulting so many of these zombie film tropes can be. Why would anyone hug a bloody zombie corpse? Are they *trying* to get infected? Anyone so ruled by their emotions deserves a Darwin award. 14:46 At least one of that guy's hands has touched infected blood. No one thought to wear gloves? There's a research operation going on and they expect us to believe that there are no gloves for people to wear while disposing of corpses? As matter of fact, they should be wearing full-body hazmat gear. 16:58 "Suck the blood?" Don't you mean, "eat the flesh?" 18:14 / 18:26 / 20:41 /21:14 Darwin awards for all of them for having no survival instinct. 18:21 / 18:25 Neither of them gets infected by those zombie attacks. Fulci never prioritized the notion of consistency. 18:27 Why do some zombies think they're vampires? 18:39 Who would anyone shoot from the hip with a bolt-action rifle? 19:26 They've got a bolt-action rifle, a pump-action shotgun, a double-action revolver, a shovel, and I think I recall them using Molotov cocktails or something. 19:28 Again, how is he not infected?! 20:51 There are those Molotovs. My memory still works after all.
My first experience with this movie was with some really shoddy DVD release. It was an obvious VHS transfer with atrocious picture quality, hard-coded Swedish subtitles and, since it was a movie from before 1997, heavily censored.
Last year I've finally bought the 3-disc limited edition of zombie with 3-D 🌉 cover and you what's awesome a original soundtrack by the great Fabio Frizzi.
Quite a late comment, but I am not sure that it was ever called Woodoo in Denmark. The poster shown in the video is in German. I tried looking up if a Danish search of "Woodoo" got any hits on Google, but no. I found out that both the Swedish and Finnish title mainly seems to be Zombie: Flesh Eaters. I would therefore assume that it would be the same case for the Danish version
I wish you had a compilation of all the zombi movies to watch like you do with some of your other reviews. Because I cannot find some of these reviews anymore :(
I've always been curious about that instrumental song you switch it to during the zombie scene? You mention hungry and feast and I feel like I should know it as it sounds super familiar but it alludes me. Mind telling me what it is?
A little late, but I'm surprised you didn't use the coroner's line: "In my opinion, the death of the poor bastard was caused by massive hemorrhaging due to a huge laceration of the jugular."
22:50 Thanks for showing that photo from, The Beyond. I've never seen it before. Is it photpshop made or from another English speaking country, like New Zealand or Australia?
Actually Brad, here in Denmark the Movie is known as "Rædslernes grønne Ø", litteraly "the Green Island of horrors", Although Voodoo or "Woodoo" was apparently used in some parts of Denmark as well so half right
+uthertheking anything that involves a sharp object slowly being inserted into the eye is going to unsettle most people. So long as it isn't a cutaway, it will have a obvious effect.
I think it's a tad rude, that The He did not offer to send us a Pizza Roll!! I would definitely have gone to the web zone to get them sent in a pure white envelope!

This is maybe my favorite zombie movie. The music is stuck in my head after more than 30 years.

I really do love Lucio Fulci's movies.
Fulci really hates eyeballs.
instted he does
He finds them unsightly.
I've probably seen the poster for Zombie more times than I actually have the movie
tripdefect87 I know I have. I own the poster
The poster has a much shorter run time so yeah.
I really like the effects/make-up in this film. At least the ones shown in this review.
Putrid Bile this is what all the effects are like I've seen the movie.
The movie got nominated for the Saturn award for Best makeup

Fun fact: The lady who gets her eye stabbed, was portrayed by Olga Karlatos...a.k.a. the mom in "Purple Rain". ^_^

Did Prince ever find out about this? I would have loved to see his reaction!
And another fun fact... She married Arthur Rankin of Rankin bass productions. Ie. Rudolph the red nose reindeer and frosty
And she is a lawyer in the Bahamas

I use to go to those triple features at 69th st. There was also the Capitol on 52nd and the Budco Goldman at 15th and Chestnut
It is one of the most scariest zombie movies I've ever seen.
Zombies in this movie really look... dead. The most disgusting and believable corpses. Together with "One Dark Night". And amazing soundtrack
I love how the worms in the eye socket just seem to be hanging out in there, looking bored.
You eat the eyes and then you're hungry two minutes later, it's like Chinese food.
Eye worms are boring.. Lol..

Well, he later reviewed The Beyond for Fulchuary.
