Review – Zombie

Funny how letter-boxing even a ridiculous piece of junk like this makes it seem more artistic and profound. Black bars aside, this is a low budget, Italian take-off on George Romero’s flesh-eating-shoot-‘em-in-the-head zombie genre. The acting needs termite protection, and the script is barely sufficient to get the plot from one gross-out to the next. But the gore is pretty good, even clever in some parts. If you’re in the mood for some cheap, bloody thrills, you could do worse. Mildly amusing
