Directed by Lucio Fulci. Written by Elisa Briganti. Starring Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch and Richard Johnson.
Plot: a NY reporter follows a woman to an island where a doctor faces an epidemic of the zombie variety.
A boat comes into the New York harbor without anyone on it except one zombie who later kills a cop. The boat’s owner is nowhere to be found and his daughter wants to know where he is. So, the daughter and a newspaper reporter decide to go to this island after they find a note on the boat saying that her father was sick and that they weren’t going to let him leave said island alive. Once they arrive at the island though, it isn’t long before it turns into zombie mayhem.
There’s a great zombie vs. shark fight that kicks ass. There’s nice innovation. The movie followed rules and the ending was cool. But this movie about slower than slow zombies is dubbed very poorly and sometimes it’s hard to watch. And all of the zombies have their eyes closed and we didn’t understand that. I mean, how do they even see? It’s a classic. Maybe a mediocre classic, but one people should definitely watch.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
