"WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU" is a legendary tagline. No messing about, no beating around the bush, just a simple statement; a threat, promise and guarantee rolled into one. Doesn't matter how far you run, where you hide or how much barricading you do: we are the zombies, and we ARE going to eat you.
The one thing that I noticed the first time I watched the film as being incredibly dated was the reuse of a scene of someone throwing a molotov. Someone throws a molotov in a barn, the barn goes up, then they throw "another one" and it's the same exact shot as the first. lol
I saw this back during its release as part of a triple horror feature at the Eric Terminal on 69th St. in Philadelphia. The lineup was Zombie, The Boogeyman and Blood Beach. Great times. Scary movie. Loved it!
TheMouseAvenger that is one hell of a jump. I would love to know how she made the jump from Italian cinema to Purple Rain. I’m guessing it’s because she was married to Arthur Rankin of Rankin/Bass animation.
@@mansquatch7433 yeah and when she is blind in one eye now aswell.. Funny though I can't remember her only having one eye in purple rain.. I must of missed it because she couldn't like grow a whole eye back could she.. I'm confused..
I read the Pentagon actually commissioned a study on the risk rate of a zombie apocalypse. Result: zombies would be easily massacred by the superior-armed humans in vastly greater numbers. That;s why they had super-fast zombies in that Brad Pit movie.
+dreamlandnightmare It was used as a training exercise. A brief explanation and a link to the document can be found here: www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/pentagon-has-zombie-apocalypse-emergency-plan/
Hey, Atleast we can rest easily knowing the Pentagon actually does have some kind of "Contingency Plan" in the event of something like that happened. Hopefully it won't be the return of the living dead equivilant where they just fire a nuclear artillery shell into the heart of a metropolitan area.
So basically because America has so many gun nuts, it would be impossible for a zombie apocalypse to wipe out humanity or even last more than a day...that and there has been so much oversaturation of zombies in the horror genre that people would figure it out quickly and stop the whole damn thing in it's tracks in no less then a measly 90 minutes. With that in mind, we'd be more likely to get wiped out by a dragon apocalypse like in Reign of Fire...but let's be honest, The only apocalypse scenario that is most likely to actually happen and take the whole world by storm is the Mad Max apocalypse.....WITNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS!
In response to your question at around 23:40 - yes, I think you might have. The fact that his body was so well preserved at this point kind of requires you to suspend your perception of reality though.
Hey Brad! It’s your December bday sis, Trish! This came up after my friend and I geeked out about this film on my podcast this week! Thanks to you lending me your copy back in the 00’s, I know this film! Ps-loved the bit you did! Glad to see you got to finally find a large audience for your genius mind 💜😊 💀
i fuckin love this movie, the eye part makes me cringe every time. my fav scene is either the zombies coming out of the graves or the zombie shark fight. though i do feel bad for the shark cuz i think it was real so the shark really got hurt? im not 100% on that though. this movie also has some of the best practical fxs, the make up is amazing.
This was probably before "No animals were harmed in the making of this movie". Or safety standards for Italian movie studios were looser than America's.
"Or Woodoo in Denmark" and you show a German poster. Im no expert in this, since this movie is way before I was born. But typically as far a I know, low budget foreign gore films weren't allowed in my country. The only foreign films we got were usually American, and even American explotation films weren't on sale here. So I don't think this movie has ever been in Denmark
I found this movie through its composer Fabio Frizzi. He did a piece in the 70’s rerelease/recut/colorization of Godzilla ‘56 and that was redone for this movie and then City of the Living Dead. Haven’t seen City, but this is a pretty textbook Italian exploitation film. Only Italian films I saw before this was the Dollars Trilogy and Once Upon a Time in the West, and those aren’t exactly standard fare for Italy at that time.
@@Asertix357 Or even just covering the damn thing with her hand. It probably wouldn't have saved her, but at least she would have avoided the eye-gouging.
The visual effects in this film are pretty damn good considering the budget. That being said, the whole eye impalement scene is so unrealistic in that she would have be able to at least position her head as to not hit the eye, plus it would become an autonomic response to close ones eye as hard as possible if it were about to hit something.
Last year I've finally bought the 3-disc limited edition of zombie with 3-D 🌉 cover and you what's awesome a original soundtrack by the great Fabio Frizzi.
My first experience with this movie was with some really shoddy DVD release. It was an obvious VHS transfer with atrocious picture quality, hard-coded Swedish subtitles and, since it was a movie from before 1997, heavily censored.
3:01 Right there is an example of how insulting so many of these zombie film tropes can be. Why would anyone hug a bloody zombie corpse? Are they *trying* to get infected? Anyone so ruled by their emotions deserves a Darwin award. 14:46 At least one of that guy's hands has touched infected blood. No one thought to wear gloves? There's a research operation going on and they expect us to believe that there are no gloves for people to wear while disposing of corpses? As matter of fact, they should be wearing full-body hazmat gear. 16:58 "Suck the blood?" Don't you mean, "eat the flesh?" 18:14 / 18:26 / 20:41 /21:14 Darwin awards for all of them for having no survival instinct. 18:21 / 18:25 Neither of them gets infected by those zombie attacks. Fulci never prioritized the notion of consistency. 18:27 Why do some zombies think they're vampires? 18:39 Who would anyone shoot from the hip with a bolt-action rifle? 19:26 They've got a bolt-action rifle, a pump-action shotgun, a double-action revolver, a shovel, and I think I recall them using Molotov cocktails or something. 19:28 Again, how is he not infected?! 20:51 There are those Molotovs. My memory still works after all.
I wish you had a compilation of all the zombi movies to watch like you do with some of your other reviews. Because I cannot find some of these reviews anymore :(
Quite a late comment, but I am not sure that it was ever called Woodoo in Denmark. The poster shown in the video is in German. I tried looking up if a Danish search of "Woodoo" got any hits on Google, but no. I found out that both the Swedish and Finnish title mainly seems to be Zombie: Flesh Eaters. I would therefore assume that it would be the same case for the Danish version
+uthertheking anything that involves a sharp object slowly being inserted into the eye is going to unsettle most people. So long as it isn't a cutaway, it will have a obvious effect.
A little late, but I'm surprised you didn't use the coroner's line: "In my opinion, the death of the poor bastard was caused by massive hemorrhaging due to a huge laceration of the jugular."
I've always been curious about that instrumental song you switch it to during the zombie scene? You mention hungry and feast and I feel like I should know it as it sounds super familiar but it alludes me. Mind telling me what it is?
Actually Brad, here in Denmark the Movie is known as "Rædslernes grønne Ø", litteraly "the Green Island of horrors", Although Voodoo or "Woodoo" was apparently used in some parts of Denmark as well so half right
22:50 Thanks for showing that photo from, The Beyond. I've never seen it before. Is it photpshop made or from another English speaking country, like New Zealand or Australia?

It was also the title of and Hong Kong Kung fu horror by tsui hark made later.
The blood splatter bit is one of my all time favorite Snob jokes
This is maybe my favorite zombie movie. The music is stuck in my head after more than 30 years.
I really do love Lucio Fulci's movies.
-"Have you ever been on a boat?"
-"I was born on a boat"
That line get's me every time
I'M ON A BOAT!
@@SpeedyEric1 I fucked a boat!
goat*
Fulci really hates eyeballs.
instted he does
He finds them unsightly.
I've probably seen the poster for Zombie more times than I actually have the movie
tripdefect87 I know I have. I own the poster
The poster has a much shorter run time so yeah.
I really like the effects/make-up in this film. At least the ones shown in this review.
Putrid Bile this is what all the effects are like I've seen the movie.
The movie got nominated for the Saturn award for Best makeup
The one thing that I noticed the first time I watched the film as being incredibly dated was the reuse of a scene of someone throwing a molotov. Someone throws a molotov in a barn, the barn goes up, then they throw "another one" and it's the same exact shot as the first. lol

Loved it!
I use to go to those triple features at 69th st. There was also the Capitol on 52nd and the Budco Goldman at 15th and Chestnut
Fun fact: The lady who gets her eye stabbed, was portrayed by Olga Karlatos...a.k.a. the mom in "Purple Rain". ^_^
TheMouseAvenger that is one hell of a jump. I would love to know how she made the jump from Italian cinema to Purple Rain. I’m guessing it’s because she was married to Arthur Rankin of Rankin/Bass animation.

Did Prince ever find out about this? I would have loved to see his reaction!
And another fun fact... She married Arthur Rankin of Rankin bass productions. Ie. Rudolph the red nose reindeer and frosty
And she is a lawyer in the Bahamas
That reference to Weekend at Bernie's 2 was hilarious! Genius!
It is one of the most scariest zombie movies I've ever seen.

I love how the worms in the eye socket just seem to be hanging out in there, looking bored.
You eat the eyes and then you're hungry two minutes later, it's like Chinese food.
Eye worms are boring.. Lol..

Zombies in this movie really look... dead. The most disgusting and believable corpses. Together with "One Dark Night". And amazing soundtrack
Worst. Splinter. Ever.
It's October 2017- time to do a marathon of all the Zombie titles up to and including Zombie 42!
1:45 When did Donatello become a fucking zombie?😮
Zombie 2: Electric Boogaloo
Zombie 2: Book of Shadows
Zombie 2: Cruise Control
Zombie 2: The Quickening
Zombie 2: The Heritic
SpeedyEric1 The list just goes on and on. :)
Zombie 2: Undead and not loving it

The Adrienne Barfro joke is the best joke in town. Seriously, well done.
Yeah that took me out 😂

I believe I heard the shark was doped up to the gills (literally guh hyuck) so it couldn't do much.
This was probably before "No animals were harmed in the making of this movie". Or safety standards for Italian movie studios were looser than America's.
Snyder is for boys.
Romero is for men.
Fulci is for chad alpha men.
Fulci for the win
Alberto Amoruso Swap Romero with Fulci and I’ll agree
Synder is power bottom. Fulci is a power top
@@AnonURnot no way your mad ain't you mate..lol..
Fulchi can pluck my eyes out any day
Lol l ove the way he does the whole video with the puke on his shirt!! 😂😂
He said 'rampage' in a way that rhymes with 'rummage'. Interesting.
People did just stand around a wait to be eaten. Why?!
For equal chance, zombie inclusion.
Suicide by zombie was the in thing back then...

That woman who got that mega splinter up her eye put more effort into screaming than even attempting to move her head an inch further to the left.
Or otherwise grabbing the splintered piece of wood, ripping it off, and jamming it into the zombie's arm.
@@Asertix357 Or even just covering the damn thing with her hand. It probably wouldn't have saved her, but at least she would have avoided the eye-gouging.

They aren't visual effects, they're special effects.
Yeti...furbies? Eh?🤨 Did Lucio Fuci's Zombie inspire those Dead Island video games?🤔
9:42- Careful. You almost Tobe Fair'd yourself, Brad.
Zombi 2 is one of my favourite Zombie Films
Lucie Fulci -Mastermedium of Italian gore.👍😂🥁
18:16 THAT'S the worm-eyed zombie? You gotta be kidding me! He's actually attractive.
I'd watch a whole documentary just on the making of the scene with the shark. Gotta be in my top 5 favorite films scenes.
There is a "Children shouldn't play with dead things" feel to that movie
The Lordi song??
@@dragonmaster613 the movie

That poster at 3:00 isn't a danish version. It is all written in german, Snob.
I see they squeezed in a Ralph Bakshi cameo.

I like how at the beginning of this the title card is misspelled. "Stoned Gremlin". stoned indeed.
There isn’t the scene of the boat on the Italian cut of “Dawn of the dead”
If the zombie bites the shark, does it become a zombie? If the shark bites the zombie, does the zombie become a wereshark? 😊
Those sound like awesome B-movies!!
Kickstart that sh't!
I've always been curious about that instrumental song you switch it to during the zombie scene? You mention hungry and feast and I feel like I should know it as it sounds super familiar but it alludes me. Mind telling me what it is?
The Pink Panther theme?
I highly recommend watching this film while eating a COLD Arby's Roast Beef...like I unfortunately did.
4:32 "The sergeant broke the bandit!"
Why does the black islander talk like William Shater (Spock! Spock!) in Star Trek 5?
I never watched this movie because of the zombie poster. It looks like he is smiling or the ghost boss from Scrooged and it always tuned me away
Did we ever get that Rats Night Of Terror episode?I didn't think we did. Must be sitting on that one.
Why does the Snob ALWAYS show eye gore scenes in full?! D:
Also, why do Italian movies always have these groovy themes no matter what the genre is? lol

Tisa is even more delicate and shy than her sister. Delightful.
Zombi 2 was no. 52 in Italy top chart 1979 a good result and fulci's best result at italian box office
Could you do an episode on the beyond by fulchi, or mother of tear maybe inferno by argento, maybe land of the dead by George a Romero?
Well, he later reviewed The Beyond for Fulchuary.
9:05 Maybe Island of Zombie Research Would be a Great Title too for this Movie.
"...the only other white man on the island." "Therefor, he's extremely important." LOL!!!
"Holy Shit!! Huhm Cronyn is trying to get in!!"
theres a Zombi 1 : zombi holocaust, i wonder if its been released here
Heh heh, one of the zombies is Wormtongue!
You are a funny actor. And not amateurish.
Zombie is one of the best zombie movie from Italy
Awesome
There's a 'Ninja Turtle' zombie movie, too?
One of the most underrated series.

Thanks for showing that photo from, The Beyond.
I've never seen it before. Is it photpshop made or from another English speaking country, like New Zealand or Australia?
Actually, thanks to the audio commentary for the film versus, Zombie 2 in japan is actually known as Sanguila.
That makes even less sense doesn't it?
Peter West? Frank West? Dead Rising paid tribute and had a disclaimer on the box for Dawn of the Dead. Awesome game and movies.
And a few references to Resident Evil.
Sleazy Italian zombie flicks,
employing random paraplegics & amputees for decades!
[2:22] It's snotty nitpicking time! "Woodoo - Schreckensinsel der Zombies" is not danish. It's the GERMAN title. :-P

I'm sorry you had the stomach flu when you made this Mr. Snob.
