This is a film I’m happy to defend and praise. First, the script is a lot better than it has any right to be. Horror films with great storytelling are rare and this one has it. Technically, the direction is spot on. Fulci is endlessly clever in filming his zombies and underlining his violence. Very effective editing is used throughout. The acting is dry and weird, but fitting. The setting and cinematography are gorgeous. Its a B-movie at the end of the day, but it transcends its label and becomes modern art.
- Currently 5.0/5 Stars.

Director Lucio Fulci’s infamous gore film actually mostly lives up to its cult classic reputation. The story is simple and effective, even if the cast and characters are a bit bland, but there are many memorable moments – the underwater zombie vs. (real) shark battle has to be seen to be believed – some really cool gore effects and great B-movie atmosphere. Outside of George Romero’s original trilogy, this is one of the best zombie films out there.
