DVD Reviews of Zombie
DVD Review: Zombis. 3.5 stars.
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, what can you say about a movie like Zombie. It's an entertaining piece of low-brow, low budget 70's gore horror. What's it got going for it? Well, zombies, most notably. I like zombies, and these are a fine example of zombies, no doubt about it. They don't look real for sure, but they're pretty gross-looking, which is almost as good. I'm particularly found of the conquistador zombies, though they weren't wearing delightful conquistador hats, so they weren't used to maximum effect. They were nicely rotted though. The zombies in this film are your classic Romero type both behaviorally and physically.(Though they are perhaps even more ponderous) They're nicely photographed too Also, it has a scene where a zombie fights a shark. If that isn't reason enough to see a movie I don't know what is.(And for the record, it's obviously a tiger shark) The plot and script are nothing to get excited about, though they are a bit more competent than I'd expect, or is necessary for such a film. It is a bit slow though, and could use either a few more zombie encounters towards the beginning of the film or a longer zombie climax at the end. However, the slow buildup does make it seem more significant when there are actually plenty of zombies around, so maybe he made the right choice in pacing it slowly. Fulci's films are constantly accused of technical incompetence, but I don't really see it here. There is some rough editing, and the acting ranges from mediocre to bad, but it still is far more slick and professional than most people would have you believe. Gore is typically the selling point of this film, and it's pretty entertaining, if rarely the least bit convincing. The whole splinter-eye thing is fairly disturbing, despite being less than convincing. Overall, it's not as gory as people make it out to be,(It's substantially less gory than Dawn/Day of the Dead, Evil Dead etc.) but it still delivers pretty well overall. It manages to generate some decent atmosphere occasionally, largely through the use of zombie pov shots. The pov shots of the zombies emerging from their graves are particularly effective. In general, the horror scenes are nicely done. Not scary, but entertaining enough and generally well shot and composed. The soundtracks nothing to get too excited about, though I rather like the droning electronic theme they use during some of the more dramatic scenes. It's particularly effective during the fight at the hospital, where it makes the scene bizarrely tragic. (poor zombies....)
I got the new Blue Underground DVD. It ain't much for extras but it looks great. Sadly, it doesn't have the classic rotted zombie head cover they used on the Anchor Bay DVD, but it's a good set overall.(that original cover is what first interested me in this film some years back)
Well that's it. If you like zombie films, you should see this, if you don't like zombies, don't bother, and if you haven't seen any go see some Romero ones first. If you like this you need to check out Fulci's later film, The Beyond It's definitely a better film overall, with lots of nice visuals and tons of atmosphere to go with the zombies and gore and whatnot.(though it's not really a zombie film, even though it has zombies in it, if you get my meaning.)
