U.S. critics have quarreled Italian film Lyucho Fulci, accusing him of imitating the low-budget classic “Night of the Living Dead” by George Romero (by the way, tentatively titled “The last zombie” was replaced in Italy “Zombie 2″ as a month earlier there was a success as it ” Zombies “another tape Romero -” Dawn of the Dead “). Although not very clear picture of what Fulci called “Zombie” (which created additional confusion for some viewers and critics), released in the U.S., where plenty of similar samples of their terrible film in all respects. 52-year-old director Lyucho Fulci, who previously had worked in a variety of genres (from sitcoms and police tape until we know for the Soviet film distribution adventure film “White Fang” and “The Return of White Fang”), in the late 70s just decided to specialize on the horrors. And that was equal to, in addition to the U.S., and even in the Italian masters of this area – for example, Mario Bavuu and Dario Argento, resorting to violent, sometimes shocking images. The American edition of “Video Movie Hyde” even advises to wait for “the grand moment when the wooden splinter pierces the poor girl’s eyes.”
Fulci tape was assigned to the U.S. age rating “to 18”, and in France it was shown at a reduction of 17 minutes! The handbook “he Muviz Tee Vee End videotapes” joking way: “The cast looks half dead, maybe this is it – the real zombie” (incidentally, the main performer of Tisa Farrow – the younger sister of the famous American actress Mia Farrow).
