ZOMBIE FILM FRIDAY: Zombi 2 | #AlsoKnownasZombieFleshEaters

This classic film came out in 1979, the year after I was born, and contains one of the single most grossest moments I can stomach – you need to watch this one!

Zombie_Flesh_eaters.jpgA zombie is found aboard a boat off the New York coast which belongs to do a famous scientist. Peter West, a journalist, travels to the Antilles with Ann, the daughter of the scientist. On the way, they meet with Brian, a ethnologist, and Susan. When they arrive at Matul Island, they find Dr. Menard, and discover a terrifying disease which is turning the islanders into horrifying zombies which devour human flesh and seem indestructible…

My Rating: A

Interesting Facts: Despite being called “Zombi 2”, the film is not a sequel to anything (when Dawn of the Dead (1978) was released under the title “Zombi” in Italy, this film was retitled “Zombi 2” to cash in on the success of the American film); only 3 zombies have their eyes open; scriptwriter Dardano Sacchetti chose to take his name off the credits due to his father’s death during preproduction; and hordes of the living dead stumble across the Brooklyn Bridge at the end of the film because although a national state of emergency had been declared and the local radio station had been overrun by zombies, the traffic below still flows freely due to budgetary constraints – there was not enough money to stop traffic on the bridge.

And now it’s time for the trailer…
