Zombie (1979)
Sometimes billed as Zombi 2, this excellent example of the Italian horror genre was intended to be the 'sequel' to the 1978 George Romero's Dawn of the Dead
although it really has nothing to do with Romero's film. Director Lucio Fulci manages to stay this side of camp for the most part.
Modest production values aside, some of the scenes in Zombie are truly scary and for all but the most hardened of us, shocking. If you don't care for jagged splinters of wood meeting up with human eyeballs, you might want to stay away from this one though.
