Zombie Flesh Eaters is directed by the prolific Italian director Lucio Fulci.
The film opens with an abandoned boat, floating aimlessly on the open water that surrounds Manhattan. From that poetic opening comes an onslaught of classic zombie gore, accompanied by the synthesised keyboard, poor acting and even worse dubbing, and with that this film becomes the top of the mountain in Italian horror. The film follows a womens task to find her father, last seen on a forbiddern tropical. Her and a local reporter venture off to this unknown territory with the help of two friendly boat owners. When they reach the island they are thrown among a zombie plauge, and must fight through hordes of the undead to uncover the reason for the disaperance of the young womens father.
This film, for me, a zombie fanatic, is what the genre is all about. A zombie master class and a film of sheer brilliance. The acting, bad dubbing and story adds to this films character, making it the classic that it is. If you want a film that it clever, with a neatly woven, politically charged narritive, then don't get this, but if you want a gore fest of epic stature, then eat this up.

The DVD-specific information is very important when writing is this category. What extra features are included in the DVD? You should described everything that makes this different from say a film so consumers can ultimately decide whether this would be worth buying on DVD. If you are only reviewing the film it is a good idea to change your format showing to film only. All you need to do is press the edit button on the right hand side as you read your review, make the change using the tab for what format you are viewing and the bottom of your review press send once only.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" in the top right of the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
