Zombi 2
Released as Zombie in the U.S., Lucio Fulci’s 1979 gut-munching epic was released in Italy as Zombi 2 (after some last-minute scenes were added) in order to cash in on the success of the previous year’s Dawn of the Dead, which in Italy had been called Zombi. Fulci, never the most subtle of directors, still gave audiences what they wanted—lots of south-seas islanders in pancake makeup gnawing on raw chicken entrails. And who would win in an undersea battle between a zombie and a shark? Watch and see! Landmark Sunshine Cinema, 143 E. Houston St. (betw. 1st & 2nd Aves.), 212-330-8182, 12 a.m., $10.
