The Manson Brothers Show is hosted by the writers/stars of the horror comedy The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre – Chris Margetis (Stone Manson) and Mike Carey (Skull Manson) – so it seems very fitting that they’re getting the new year started with a discussion of a zombie movie. A movie that is simply called Zombie. It’s director Lucio Fulci‘s 1979 flesh-eating classic, which you can watch at This Link… and to find out what the Manson Brothers think of it, check out the video embedded above!
Directed by Lucio Fulci from a screenplay written by Elisa Briganti and Dardano Sacchetti, Zombie has the following synopsis: Tisa Farrow investigates the disappearance of her father after his boat is found abandoned, in New York Harbor. With the help of a reporter, Ian McCulloch, their search leads to the small Caribbean island of Matool, where a strange disease has turned the inhabitants into blood-thirsty zombies.

Review by Roger Carpenter
After George Romero’s remarkable international success with Dawn of the Dead (entitled Zombi in Italy), the Italians, always ready to hop on the celluloid bandwagon, rushed to churn out tons of unofficial sequels to the film as well as their own originals, just so long as “zombie,” “living dead,” or something similar was featured in the title. Thus, we have films such as Hell of the Living Dead, Burial Ground, and Zombi Holocaust, as well as the “sort-of” zombie film, Nightmare City, along with many others. But the first of the zombie films to hit theaters after Dawn of the Dead was Zombie.
Though the title certainly was a blatant ploy to ride the coattails of Dawn of the Dead, director Lucio Fulci always chafed at the notion the film itself was a rip-off of Romero’s smash hit. I won’t go into the arguments here because frankly,...

“The boat can leave now. Tell the crew.” With these words, a horror classic was born. Zombie (1979) was the first Lucio Fulci film that assaulted my eyeballs, And it was the first zombie flick I ever saw. Heady stuff for a quivering ten-year-old, but it proved to be the perfect gateway to the splattery splendors of Italian terror, a door that will forever remain ajar.
Let me be as straightforward as I can: if you’re a fan of Fulci but haven’t caught this yet, you can forget about the surrealism of The Beyond (1981) or the Lovecraftian flourishes of City of the Living Dead (1980). This is Fulci driving a simple narrative right through the hearts of horror lovers everywhere, coming out the back bloodied and unbound, unapologetic in its mission statement to horrify and repulse. Mission accomplished.

“As we are gearing up for Fall and the season of ghouls and witches,we wanted to bring you something special that is inspired by one of my personal favorite zombie movies. As a total horror nerd, we all know there’s a ton of amazing zombie related movies such as return of the living dead, dawn and day of the dead, and of course night of the living dead. But one movie sort of stands out from them all when it comes to realism and absolute gore,...

If you want a zombie movie that has hope at the end of the tunnel and light headed humor, then this hardcore Lucio Fulci zombie movie is not the right one for you! “Zombie” is directed by the infamous Italian horror director Lucio Fulci.
If you are a fan of his like I am, you will know he is coined “The Godfather of gore” and that certainly holds true in this horror flick. This movie has alternate names depending on where you are and what you have. This movie is commonly known as “Zombi II”, which would lead you to believe it is a sequel. The movie “Zombi” in Italian is referring to “Dawn of the Dead”, which is from George Romero. There is zero relation in any of the movies referred to as “Zombi”. It is also commonly known as “Zombie Flesh Eaters” as well.
