Lucio Fulci’s unofficial sequel to Dawn of the Dead doesn’t have Romero’s measured plot, impressive character development, or scathing social commentary, but it does have skewered eyeballs, revenant Conquistadores, an underwater zombie-versus-shark battle, and one of the best taglines ever: “We are going to eat you!” Unsubtle, unflinching, and unwilling to offer an explanation for the horrific goings on, Fulci’s classic goes far beyond a mere homage to Romero, offering a unique brand of clay-faced ghoul, and a dour, unambiguous message: The zombies are here, and they are going to eat us. End of story.
