Paced and structured not unlike Joe D'Amato's Anthropophagus a largely uneventful first half gives way to a far tighter and exciting second half featuring some of the most grizzly and incredible set pieces of the entire zombie sub genre.

With far too many excellent scenes to list Zombi 2 is representative of a high point of Italian horror and gorehounds will find so much to treasure here. There is a political subtext relating to the relationship between the first and third world that is repeated in Bruno Mattei's Zombie Creeping Flesh aka Virus but it is better not to dwell on this but instead revel in horror cinema at its uncompromising best. This is a film that loses none of it's impact after repeat viewing. A truly excellent movie.
