Blue Underground has revealed that it is preparing its first 4K Blu-ray release, which will be Lucio Fulci's cult thriller
Zombie a.k.a.
Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979), starring Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson, Al Cliver, and Auretta Gay. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Complete technical specs have not yet been announced, but the label has confirmed that the 4K Blu-ray will offer Dolby Vision and HDR presentations of the 4K restoration, as well as a brand new Dolby Atmos mix.
Synopsis: In Italy, it was considered the 'unofficial sequel' to
Dawn of the Dead. In England, it was known as
Zombie Flesh Eaters and banned as obscene. In America, it was called
Zombie and advertised with the depraved tag line "WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!"
Tisa Farrow (
The Grim Reaper), Ian McCulloch (
Contamination), Al Cliver (
Cannibals), and Richard Johnson (
The Haunting) star in this worldwide splatter sensation directed by 'Maestro of Gore' Lucio Fulci (
City of the Living Dead, The House by the Cemetery) that remains one of the most eye-skewering, skin-ripping, gore-gushingly graphic horror hits of all time!
Just in time for its 40th Anniversary, Blue Underground is proud to present
Zombie in a brand-new 4K Restoration from the original uncut and uncensored camera negative. This is
Zombie like you've truly never seen it before, bursting at the seams with hours of new and archival Extras!
