Distributor: Blue Underground (US)

It actually doesn't matter which title you know this movie by, Zombie Flesh Eaters, Zombie, Zombi 2, Island of the Living Dead, Woodoo, the list is probably endless. The film however is instantly recognisable as the greatest Italian zombie classic ever put to celluloid and is widely regarded by many fans as Lucio Fulci's finest hour.

So, what exactly is it that makes this film stand out from countless other releases which all flooded the market when Italian zombie movies were cool?

Filmed on location in the late seventies and starring then popular British actor Ian McCulloch of Terry Nation's post apocalyptic series Survivors, the film has a great deal to like. Scripting is tight and suspenseful providing a genuinely disturbing atmospheric setting which is further enhanced by the now classic soundtrack. What really sets this film apart however are the make up and special effects which have yet to be bettered in the zombie genre over 30 years later. Whether it's the army of decaying zombies slowly rising from the ancient cemetery, or the numerous sequences of outrageous violence and gore, the special effects have ultimately helped to keep this film at the top of most zombie collectors wants lists for over 3 decades.

Presented region free by Blue Underground, this new Blu-ray release is advertised as having undergone extensive remastering from the original negatives in a brand new 2K HD scan and the end result is certain be pleasing to fans of the film. Presented in a 1080p 2.35:1 transfer, detail is sharp with strong colour representation.

I can understand why any intelligent Horror fan might dislike 'Zombi 2' (the original title of what we've come to know as 'Zombie Flesh Eaters'. It has absurd dialogue, revels in sensationalistic gore and the acting/casting (particularly Tisa Farrow) leaves much to be desired.

However, I'd urge anyone who has in the past wanted to like this film (but been unable to) to try it again on Arrow bluray. While Arrow have been inconsistent performers with BD transfers, as of early 2014 they have upped their game and responded to criticism - the steelbook of 'Tenebrae' (Dec 2013), the DVD/BD pack of 'Phenomena', 'City of the Living Dead' and this version of 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' all look superb. In fact, 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' is the most improved.

Watch it in Italian, with the new improved subtitling - the titles have been rewritten/edited to be more intelligent, more literate and less sensationalistic - the stupidity is almost gone. Also, seeing the film in hi-def confirms that it is NOT a cheaply made, artless piece of crud, but a extremely well crafted horror exploitation movie, with excellent effects. There is some superb music, some great cinematography and superb use of locations, both in New York and on the tropical island.

Although I've long had a soft spot for this film, watching it on Arrow's blu ray is like seeing the movie for the first time, and like seeing a different film from the versions you've seen before. The overall quality of the film-making shines through and doesn't fail to impress.

Being of a "certain" age and being British, I was firmly around at the time of the ridiculous "video nasty" mania that swept the UK in the early 1980s. Films that usually involved cannibals, either ferox, holocaust or zombified, and torture porn revengers et al, were banned, prosecuted or given a Viking burial at sea. One such film was Zombie Flesh Eaters (the best title the film has of the few it is known by), it became like the Holy Grail of video nasties, where to see it uncut would be like witnessing the last miracle performed by Christ. I never did get to see it back then, and as my horror leanings waned over the years I let it drift from my conscious. But now I'm here in my middle age and finding a new appetite for horror, I have finally managed to see the fabled shocker from Lucio Fulci.

In many ways it's a disappointment, I mean I understand that to view it now is never going to impact in the way that it did (could) in 1979, but casting aside for a moment the gore scenes, which I will get to, it's a bad film awash with badness, and not in a horror bad ass way. Much like the other Fulci film I viewed recently, The House By The Cemetery, ZFE is a series of blood and guts scenes strung together by amateurish filler. Be it bad acting, bad dubbing, hopeless dialogue and half hearted attempts at something cranial. However, if judging this particular Fulci film on its key horror scenes? Then it's got brains, imagination and style to burn. Marking it out as by definition a mixed bag genius disaster!

The zombies themselves are brilliant creations, all dripping with rotting flesh, caked in earth and having mother nature's insect creatures wriggling around their ravaged bodies. They shuffle along in classic Romero mode, and feast on flesh with carefree abandon.
