Got to see Fulci’s Zombie on the big screen last night, which was a pretty cool experience. I have no new insights on the film itself, but the tropical atmosphere was a nice antidote to the awful weather outside (cold, rainy, foggy), and I continue to be struck by the sheer bleakness of Fulci’s particular brand violence. The mix of how horrifically gruesome the gore scenes are, the way the movie presents zombification as a particularly dismal existence, and the way characters are confronted repeatedly with the possibility of having to kill their loved ones all continue to get under my skin.
