This audaciously disgusting spectacle from the late master of gruesome horror, Lucio Fulci, was posited as a semi-sequel to George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, which was released in Italy as Zombi. Tisa Farrow and a group of vacationing tourists travel to an island where they find a doctor (Richard Johnson) who is attempting to cure a condition that reanimates the dead. Things quickly get out of control as undead Spanish conquistadors crawl from their graves hungry for human flesh. The nauseatingly graphic set-pieces by Gianetto de Rossi include a close-up of a woman's eye being pierced by a large shard of wood and a zombie fighting a Great White shark underwater. This relatively well-made shocker was enormously popular worldwide and led to the zombie-gore film becoming the dominant motif of 1980s Italian horror.
Lucio Fulci´s superklassiker zombie 2, även känd som zombie Flesheaters samt ett halvdussin andra namn.
Filmen börjar med att en till synes övergiven båt kommer in i en hamn i New York. När kustbevakningen skall utreda det hela attackeras de av en galen zombie.
Undersökningarna leder till Karibiska övärlden dit man skickar en expedition. Det de finner är att de döda åter är uppe och vandrar på jorden och att smittan sprider sig blixtsnabbt.
