Zombie aka Zombie Flesh Eaters 2-Disc Ultimate Edition Blu-ray (Blue Underground)
RELEASE DATE: October 25, 2011
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. Blue Underground is proud to present ZOMBIE in a new 2K High Definition transfer from the original uncut and uncensored camera negative. Now fully-loaded with hours of brand new Extras, this is the Ultimate Edition of ZOMBIE!
This movie is obscene. But you know what? It’s totally awesome too. 😀
lol I had the pleasure of watching this on the big screen back in 2008 in Phoenix, during a Grindhouse even at an AMC theater. It was pretty surreal watching it on the big screen. It played back to back with some almost X-rated cheerleader flick… (forget the title).
A total blast to the past. I would love to watch every single Shaw Brothers flick on the big screen, film scratches ‘n all!
Closest I came to that was seeing Suspiria at a midnight showing; sadly, it was the R-rated cut which trimmed a lot of the violence/gore. If I had known that before hand, I probably wouldn’t have gone. 😛
BTW, and this almost has nothing to do with this thread… but when you saw Assassination Games, how was the picture quality? My buddy told me he read some review where the reviewer stated that they were playing off a Blu-ray player (on a big screen, projected). Also said that because of this, it just wasn’t a cool theatrical experience and added to the film’s low-budgetiness.
But then again, I believe some movies are shown like this, right? I’m kinda uneducated when it comes to movie house technology.
I remember the picture quality being fine, it’s mostly the cinematography that isn’t that impressive. I thought that the movie was played too quietly – but I almost always tend to think that at theaters around me, it’s like nobody cranks the sound because they don’t want old people to complain. I *hate* when the sound of people eating popcorn is louder than the dialogue track. That was definitely the case with “AG.” It could have been a blu-ray played at low volume, in that case I’d rather stay home and be able to turn the sound way up in my living room…
Also, you’ve heard of the Japanese movie “Hausu” or “House,” right? I saw a screening of that a few months before Criterion put it out on Blu-ray/DVD and I’m almost positive it was just the DVD being played. You wouldn’t have known without them telling you, though. But that was at a small arthouse theater.
