A true challenge here and part of my closing off of loops thing that I’ve been on for a while is to track down this massive series.
Some people are willing to put in more time doing homework than I am (I’m supposed to get a book for my work and I don’t even have it so there’s that). So check out this article. The summary of this would be that there are a sort of unknown quantity of Zombie films and the point really is that there’s a ton so I’m gonna track down as many as I can that are free on streaming and I’ll watch them.
Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, I forget which one was renamed Zombi in Europe and got direct sequels that were called Zombie, and are sort of the sequels to Dawn of the Dead, but sort of not. Many of these exist and Zombie 3 is a sequel to the Lucio Fulci movie Zombi.
This one is also directed by Fulci and is a full on romp. Zombi was a pretty fun and well made thing, more horror, and at this point this was more of a departure towards cheaper and cheesier but also maybe more fun depending on your taste.
Also I did not realize there was more stuff like Return of the Living Dead? The idea that zombies cannot truly be killed and ashes of zombies bring people back, and even talking semi intelligent zombies are all here. The sequels to Return were bad so I look at this as the real spiritual sequel.
Not so much a plot analysis because this doesn’t need one. This is fun fast paced Italian trash with an awesome soundtrack. Watch it!
