Zombie Flesh Eaters (DVD)

For some Zombie Flesh Eaters or Zombi 2 as it was known in Italy (as it was a cheap unofficial sequal to Dawn Of The Dead known as Zombi in Italy) was Lucio Fulci's finest hour. I myself think its a good movie, but dont rate it against other Lucio films such as The House By The Cemetery.

...turning people into Zombies. Zombie Flesh Eaters was at the forefront of the Video Nasties outrage in the early 1980's and was banned for many years. This movie is now available with very slight trimming maybe a second cut.
