| Zombie Flesheaters Review (583 words) |
 | Released into Italian cinemas within months of Dawn of the Dead, and promoting itself as a sequel-cum-prequel, Zombie Flesheaters is in fact something of a return to the pre-Night of the Living Dead zombie tradition typified by Jaques Tourneurs I Walked With a Zombie (1943). |
| Zombie Flesheaters played to packed houses in Italy as Zombi 2 (Dawn of the Dead played in Italy as Zombi), and as a result Fulci spent most of the next five years in similar projects. |
| The success of Zombie Flesheaters changed the direction of Italian horror in the early eighties, confirming anthropophagy as the genres favourite motif during the period and in so doing paving the way for the resurgence of Italian interest in the reprehensible third-world cannibal cycle. |
