Zombie
Director: Lucio Fulci
Actors: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson
PlotA seemingly abandoned yacht drifts into New York Harbor, bringing with it a gruesome discovery – a zombie. This unforeseen event leads Anne Bowles to investigate the origin of the vessel, which is connected to her missing father. Alongside Peter West, a journalist, they trace the yacht back to the tropical island of Matul. They are joined by Brian and Susan, an adventurous couple eager for exotic locales. Unbeknownst to them, the island harbors a terrifying secret, one that threatens not just their lives but also the wider world should it escape the confines of this remote paradise.
Upon arriving at Matul, the team encounters Dr. Menard, a scientist desperately seeking to understand and contain a mysterious epidemic spreading across the island. The inhabitants are succumbing to an ancient curse that resurrects the dead, turning them into flesh-hungry zombies. As the group delves deeper into the heart of the island, they are confronted with the horrifying manifestations of the curse. The idyllic scenery of Matul betrays the lethal danger lurking beneath as the once-peaceful dead rise again, setting the stage for a struggle for survival against an unrelenting and growing army of the undead.
