What would you expect from a film with the title 'Zombie Flesh-Eaters' (UK title). i) Zombies - yes they were there. ii) Gore - there was gore. iii) Excitement - ???
The title suggests that this will be a bloody mass of zombies taking out as many walking lunches as they can find. Unfortunately, at the rate of about 10 metres an hour these zombies are unlikely to find their way to the mall, let alone pursue are able bodied heroes. However, the dim and bland 70s style 'heroes' find it incredibly hard to move, supposedly out of fright, instead of just walking away to find the nearest blunt instrument to bludgeon the dead-beats to death with. With such an admired horror director as Fulci I expected reasonable pace, chills and gore. All of which were in small quantities and far apart.
The best moment came from an underwater sequence of fantastic stunts were a zombie attempts to wrestle with and eat a live shark. A truly unique scene. Otherwise I was disappointed. Aside from some good photography this was a wasted opportunity.
