Trivia

When the scene of the.zombies walking across the Brooklyn Bridge was filmed, it was cold drizzling rain and the actors had to keep from shivering. Also, the fake blood had some ammonia in it to stop it from.changing color. When it dripped into the actors mouths, they would spit it out when the cameras stopped rolling. And when they were paid their 40 bucks as extras, two twenties had.a single.staple through them so as not to overpay anyone, and the director Lucio Fulci spoke so little English, his only direction for the zombie actors had was "like-ah this!"

Zombi 2
15 February 2007 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Zombi 2 (Zombie, Zombie Flesh Eaters) is a classic gore filled zombie film, in Italy it's classed as a sequel to George A Romero's Dawn of The Dead since in Italy it's called Zombi. But in other parts of the world they classed it as a separate film and named it something else like Zombie and Zombie Flesh Eaters.

But sequel or not this film has some of the most realistic gore effects going for a zombie film, the infamous eye in the wood scene is one example. The zombie VS shark is another interesting scene.

The music is good and sets the tone, the dubbing is kind of bad but that isn't a problem.

A Classic Zombie film that zombie fans or gore fans would love to see but make sure it's the Un Rated version. 10/10
