Generally watchable rip-off of Dawn Of The Dead from Itallian director Fulci has a woman and detective hitching a ride with a boat-crusing couple to a tropical island to look for her father only to have to fight all the undead flesh-eaters that are coming back to life.

Storywise it's a bit thin and steals ideas from Romero's film but Fulci manages to get a couple of suspenseful moments off and there's a few strikingly moody scenes to go along with the fairly well done gore scenes. Not overly bad, just nothing majorly exciting.

Misleadingly titled as Zombi 2 in Italy to try and trick people into thinking it's a sequel to Dawn.. (which was titled Zombi in Italy).

Available in a widescreen collectors edition (which review is based on) from Anchor Bay. (Chris Hartley)
