Island of the Living Dead
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson, Al Cliver, Aurella Gay, Stefania D'Amario, Olga Karlatos
I know, this is actually a Bomb, but in deference to Lucio Fulci cultists there must be some redeeming aspect of this entry in Fulci's Parade of Horrors. As zombies (that arrived by ship) are terrorizing NYC, a woman and her friends search for her father in the Caribbean. On an island they find a crazy scientist and flesh-hungry zombies all over the place. Slow and cheap. 1 User Review
