Zombi 2 (1979)
Lucio Fulci's film was titled 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' in the UK, 'Zombie' in the US and marketed as 'Zombi 2' in Italy, to cash-in on 'Dawn of the Dead' which was released under the title 'Zombi' (it's all very confusing
). For a zombie splatter-fest I was surprised by how great it looks in 35mm scope on the Arrow blu-ray (a 2K scan of the o-neg). It's got a tidy Doctor Moreau-style script, a terrific synth score, mostly excellent acting and the English dubbing is surprisingly good (even if it doesn't always match the lip movements). Richard Johnson's grizzled performance as the exhausted, defeated Doctor trying to contain the zombie pandemic was my favourite. It's a lot of fun and you'll see a zombie fight a (real) shark... enough said.
^ I notice this trailer labels it as "Zombies 2" for one more variation .
