Lucio Fulcie's ZOMBIE Lurches Onto a New 3-Disc Limited Edition Blu-ray from Blue Underground!

COVER A

SEE FULCI'S "ZOMBIE" AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE - NEWLY REMASTERED IN 4K WITH TONS OF EXTRAS AND A SOUNDTRACK CD!

I've purchased ZOMBIE soooooo many times over the years: I've owned Anchor Bay's VHS clamshell and regular DVD, Shriek Show's 2-Disc 25th Anniversary DVD, and Blue Underground's 2-Disc Ultimate Edition Blu-ray. And now it looks like I'll have to buy this perennial Italian Horror favorite again because Blue Underground's new limited edition discs are AWESOME! (And this will be the last time, I swear... until the legit 4K UHD comes out!)

Synopsis: In Italy, it was considered the 'unofficial sequel' to DAWN OF THE DEAD. In England, it was known as Zombie Flesh Eaters and banned as obscene. In America, it was called ZOMBIE and advertised with the depraved tag line "WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!"

Tisa Farrow (THE GRIM REAPER), Ian McCulloch (CONTAMINATION), Al Cliver (CANNIBALS), and Richard Johnson (THE HAUNTING) star in this worldwide splatter sensation directed by 'Maestro of Gore' Lucio Fulci (CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY, THE BEYOND) that remains one of the most eye-skewering, skin-ripping, gore-gushingly graphic horror hits of all time!
