Product Description
THEY WILL RISE TO SUCK THE BLOOD OF THE LIVING!
From the sleazy video nasty vaults comes a movie so stained with controversy and moral indignation that the very mention of its name sends shudders down the spines of the weak stomached and censorious Zombie Flesh Eaters. A gut-munching, shark wrestling, eye-gouging orgy of topless skin divers, mud-caked undead terror and Italian splatter from the dark imagination of horror genius Lucio Fulci (The Beyond, City of The Living Dead).
An abandoned boat in New York Harbour unleashes a deadly flesh crazed Zombie cargo... A Young American woman and a journalist investigate a tropical island where a deadly disease is making the dead walk... Soon, thoughts of getting to the bottom of the murderous curse will be forgotten, as Fulci s walking corpses overwhelm the living and reports come in that the Big Apple is swarming with the living dead...
After over thirty years, Zombie Flesh Eaters still has the power to shock and offend the unwilling... Check out this classic sadist video and revel in a wonderfully tasteless movie that once helped usher in a moral panic!

The results are in....aaaand its a nearly a WINNER!!! Zombie Flesh Eaters, as we know it in the UK, or Zombie/Zombi 2 in other regions has been remastered from the original negative, looks incredible and is available for us all to digest in our homes for evermore. Unfortunately, there is a problem. Refer to my update at the bottom.
Z.F.E. was made in 1979 and it has probably never looked as good as it does now. According to blurb in the supplemental booklet the film was scanned at 2K, stabilised, cleaned up frame by frame of dirt and scratches and great care was taken to preserve the original detail and film grain. Happy days. It is my favourite Fulci film as it has a few things really going for it.
1 - The zombies are very cool. Not all that much more advanced than the simply effective Romero/Savini make ups from Dawn of the Dead but these creatures are totally rotten and decayed and just look fantastic.
2 - Zombie Vs actual Shark underwater fight!!! I mean, thats what we want, right? Say no more.
3 - The truly creepy score from Fabio Frizzi which has a tendency to get stuck in my head after I watch.
Also there is the (in)famous 'eye splintering' scene, a truly iconic European horror scene which is still just as visceral 30 years on.
All in, a brilliant Zombie flick. But thats not all this Blu-ray has to offer. We also get a wealth of extra material relating to the film, Fulci, the music, special effects and the italian splatter genre in general including 2 commentaries, an hour long documentary on Italian Zombie films and a lengthy chat with the films star, Ian McCulloch. And the usual nice little booklet which Arrow always provides too.
I doubt there is much more I could actually want from a Blu-ray release of ZFE extras wise.... Read more ›

Zombie Flesh Eaters: Steelbook
Distributor: Arrow Video (UK)
So, how do you improve on perfection?
Well almost nine months ago we reviewed the most impressive release to date of Lucio Fulci's epic zombie masterpiece courtesy of US distributor Blue Underground.
The undisputed title of "best release ever" of the classic Italian gore fest looked set to remain unbroken with the disc boasting a fully remastered 2K transfer delighting long time fans of the film and making it highly doubtful whether the release could ever be bettered.
Things however move pretty quickly in the home video market as of late and with a little hindsight the US Blu-ray does come with some minor issues which have since risen to the surface. A number of collectors had been slightly put out by the use of DNR during a handful of sequences and there were also concerns over the amount of actual re-watchable content within the extra features, however all things considered the release itself still continues to hold up to its well deserved praise.
So taking into account the overall high quality presentation of the former release, UK distributor Arrow Video would certainly have a real task on their hands if they wished to challenge the Blue Underground disc to the title of best presentation to date.
So in the high definition battle of Zombie vs Zombie Flesh Eaters which is better?
Well to borrow a rather obvious catchphrase it seems there is only one way to find out...... FIGHT!!!
It's no secret that Blue Underground produced a brand new 2K scan from the original negatives for their US transfer which even on reflection looks highly impressive.... Read more ›

I've been a huge fan of Arrow Video after I discovered their 2012 Demons/Demons 2 blu ray releases and the work they've done on these old cult films. Each release is top quality and a lot of effort goes into restoration and digging up special features, (in some cases getting new interviews with cast and crew). You certainly need to check out the great, candid interview with Ian McCulloch, 40 minutes of someone who is not too fond of some of the choices he made in his career. Not to mention the brilliant cover art work and posters!
Zombie Flesh Eaters is one of my all time favourite zombie films and I was so excited to see that it was finally getting the uncut Arrow treatment. It's an all round great release, the special features are brilliant (I wont list them as they're already listed in the Amazon description), and the picture and sound is crisp in comparison to my DVD version. As I mentioned before, it also comes with a double poster with 2 of the old film posters, the classic 'ZOMBI' head poster and the Zombie Flesh Eaters with the zombie hand rising out of the ground with a New York backdrop.
Long live Arrow and keep em coming!

I just watched the blu ray of Zombie Fleash Eaters.
This is a fantastic release with tons of extras which will keep you occupied for hours. The most amazing thing for me however, is this is a complete uncut version on a blu ray. I never thought this would ever happen. I vividly remember the time of the video nasties and this film was banned because a couple of people thought society would fall apart if you was exposed to it. Your house could have been raided if it was known you had this film. Now here it is in a beautiful widescreen print with a clean picture and a reversible cover. One side is new artwork for the film and on the other is the original artwork for the vhs release. A nice touch. The extras are great and include a history of zombie movies, trailers, radio spots and basically everything you need to know about the making of the film.
Hats off to Arrow for releasing this version. Job well done!
