Zombie (aka Zombi 2)
An opening shot of a man shooting a gun at what appears to be a body tied up in a canvas bag and a single line of dialog - "The boat can leave now, tell the crew" is the only clue Lucio Fulci provides you before the title of Zombie. Next we know, that boat is sailing aimlessly into the New York harbor, where some Coast Guard officers find what's left of the crew - a lone decaying zombie - and it's got a hankerin' for some fresh flesh.
Trailer Tuesday: Zombi 2
This week, we take a look at the trailer for Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2
While this movie is known in the states as "Zombie", the Italian title is Zombi 2 (the original "Zombi" is actually George Romero's Dawn of the Dead - go figure). In this film, a mysterious boat floats into the New York Harbor. The harbor patrol believes the boat to abandoned, but there's actually a zombie aboard who attacks the the patrolmen. This leads to an investigation to figure out where the boat and the zombie came from.
We'll be taking a look at Zombi 2 and it's sequels, of which there are 3, in the coming weeks so stay tuned for our reviews.
The Beyond
Liza Merril (Catriona MacColl) inherits an old hotel and in the cellar lies the door to the beyond. Liza wants to restore it, but she is confronted with strange events in the process. Her painter falls off of his extension ladder when he witnesses a grim vision. The plumber gets his eyes smashed out and ends up in the care of Dr. John McCabe (David Warbeck) in the city morgue. Gruesome horrors lie past the gateway in "The Beyond" directed by Lucio Fulci.
