Zombie's Eyeball scene: Not gory

[Jack Corbett]

I have downlaoded it on this site and, I'm serious folks, it isn't that bad. I'l admit, it WOULD hurt, but I didn't find it disgusting at all.

Then again, this post is coming from a person that watches The Evil Dead to get to sleep at night.


Did you find it gory? And, more importantly, am I an idiot for saying it isn't?

[Menard]

It's not so much gory as it just makes one squirm the first time seeing it. Some directors would hint at something about to happen, Fulci gives you a hint and then shows you exactly what happens. He pulls no punches.

[Jack Corbett]

I admit, It's goo how Fulci did it, but I just didn't find it gory.

[Jack Corbett]

By the way, how many films in the series are there?

[Menard]

Fulci made three zombie movies that are considered his trilogy although other than zombies they are not related. They are:

ZOMBIE/ZOMBI 2

CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD/THE GATES OF HELL

THE BEYOND/SEVEN DOORS OF DEATH


Some also count ZOMBIE 3 as Fulci's since it does carry his name but he left the production about 20% of the way into the film and Mattei took over.




The numerical series of films using the title zombie/zombi are:

ZOMBI (A.K.A. DAWN OF THE DEAD)

ZOMBI 2 (Fulci)

ZOMBIE 3: NIGHTS OF TERROR (Bianchi)(Not the same as the Fulci/Mattei ZOMBIE 3)

ZOMBIE 4: AFTERDEATH (Fragasso)

ZOMBIE 5: KILLING BIRDS (Lattanzi/Massaccesi)(Actually made before ZOMBIE 4: AFTERDEATH)

ZOMBIE 6: MONSTER HUNTER (Don't know)


Other than using a numerical title, none of them are related and ZOMBIE 6: MONSTER HUNTER is not even a zombie movie.



Some video distibutors also have put out different movies in the numerical sequence. You can find copies of ZOMBIE 4: A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD on VHS for example.


Well, that should help to not clear up one ounce of confusion. (:

You find THE EVIL DEAD to be that boring that it puts you to sleep?

Of course not Jack....of course not  (:

[Jack Corbett]

I do NOT find the Evil Dead boring. If I find a film boring... well, that never really happens. It is quite common for me to watch a movie about ten times in four days, (the most recent film I have done that to is Return of the Living Dead) or numerous times after the first time I watched it.

Didn't you see the "Names Ash (Cocks shotgun) Housewares." qoute on my early posts?

I don't find the Evil Dead boring. Not even Pitch Black, Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, Alien, Aliens, Predator, ThenLost World: Jurassic Park, Dawn of the Dead '04, The 007 Series...

This list goes on. Real on.

[Menard]

Hey Jack...that was a joke.

[dudeman]

I'm not distrubed easily either. . The best eyeball gore scene I've ever seen though is in Naked Blood. I rarely get squirmy about movie scenes but that one was like "Oh my Gawd, did I just see that?!" The drinking of urine in Untold Stroy got me squirming too. The Asian stuff is the most extreme for some reason.

Strange, Zombie actually has more gore than Evil Dead though.

[Jack Corbett]

Menard - I thought you thought I found TED boring. Sorry.


Dudeman, what is the eyeball bit in Naked Blood?

I was using ED as an example that I don't freak easily. Then again, I laughed my head off (pardon the pun) in Braindead.

[blkrider]

Heh.  I dislike both the EVIL DEAD series and BRAINDEAD for that very reason....they're just too humorous to have any impact.  Give me Fulci any day, even when his effects are less than perfect.

[Jack Corbett]

Hey, blkride, are you new to the site? I just want to know, and I ain't gonna tease you, 'cause I came on about a week ago.

woman stabd her own eye with a fork, rips it out, and eats it, most extreme movie I've seen in years

I've got a couple videos that would make you squirm and the best part is that they're not fake. ;)
