The Worst Film Ever

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It's ridiculous that this film isn't rated higher. This is the film that set the stands for the decaying zombie... Fulci is one of the best directors that has ever lived.

I was very very pleasantly surprised by this Italian zombie movie, which was one of those 70's/80's European movies that was (illegaly) marked to be a sequel to Dawn of the Dead (it's not).The plot is simple: A mysterious boat arrives unmanned in Manhattan. Our protagonist is the boat owner's daughter, who teams up with a journalist to find out what happened to her father. Their quest leads them to the Caribbean island "Matul", which the locals purport to be haunted...ZOMBI 2 is cinematographically quite beautiful and well executed, with the stunning setting of a windy Caribbean island set to catchy synthesizer tunes. The pace of the movie is rather slow compared to modern zombie flicks, but that just adds to the thick atmosphere, which focuses on a sense of oppression and mystery rather than on action and a high body count. There's also some very good gore effects and of course, a very famous underwater scene involving a zombie and a shark. If at all, the movie is known for the shark scene, but finally seeing it for the first time I was impressed by how real everything is, especially given that there were no CGI effects involved!Die-hard zombie lovers will appreciate the fact that the zombies here are the "classic" voodoo-type zombies that are actually undead, rotting and decaying, with worms coming out their undead eyes etc. The zombies are the slow-moving ones. This means that suspense is created in a similar vein to classics such as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, with the undead slowly creeping up on you until you're surrounded, rather than fast-paced chase scenes.All in all, a must-see for zombie lovers---but even if you're not a fan of the genre, this one may be worth a shot given the thick atmosphere and great sound track.P.S.: It's worth checking the Wikipedia entry on the "Zombi film series" which details the funny and confusing history of how Dawn of the Dead has been treated and spanned illegal sequels in Europe and other parts of the world.

Listen: this is NOT by any means a perfect movie, as a matter of fact it's severely flawed. The characters are mostly pretty bland and never develop, some of the banter towards the beginning is more cringe worthy than funny, and the overall pacing and structure are quite off; however, that being said, "Zombie" is, simply put, a damn good time at the movies! Regardless of flaws, this film has enough entertainment and shock value to be thoroughly enjoyable, particularly in its second half in which things go off the rails. There are moments that made me feel incredibly tense, others made me squirm in disgust, others made me laugh, and many made me marvel at the wonderful gore effects and camera work. And my reaction to the very ending was sort of an awkward (but great nonetheless) mix of the aforementioned emotional responses; it is clear that the final shots have a tongue in cheek quality to them, but they are also haunting in a bizarre sense, and this feeling is VERY much appropriate as a closer to a movie that is genuinely and relentlessly strange and goofy, but still unconventionally magic and awfully horrific!

awesome one of the best films ever made. it is the unofficial sequel to the original film Dawn of the dead. it is about an island that has a voodoo curse on it and the 4 people on the island must try to escape alive. When one of the members Peter is wounded they must get him across the island to the hospital while fighting zombies and avoiding the deep jungle and ancient burial grounds of the island. when the film is over you will watch in horror as the zombies invade New York and our heroes are hopeless to stop the impending apocalypse that will come with this army of the dead. this film is followed by Zombi 3 and the spinoffs are zombie holocaust.
