It's interestingly... for years my copy of <b><i>Zombie Flesh Eaters</i></b>, the UK VHS, had this scene shortened - the censors removed the shot of the splinter penetrating the eyeball, but whoever re-cut the scene (originally for UK theatrical run prints back in the day) cut the scene down to the very last microsecond before the eyeball is Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502948357255970132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409782986498845263.post-35634076095205777502014-11-26T15:57:48.169+00:002014-11-26T15:57:48.169+00:00Saw this one on VHS in the 60 day period I lived w...Saw this one on VHS in the 60 day period I lived with my parents in Florida and watched 125 movies. I literally crawled from one end of the couch to the other during the eyeball scene. I have added the Blu-Ray to the video vault - think this one will turn up next October in my Horrorfest weekend.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409782986498845263.post-62891046597656920962011-09-21T17:01:43.314+01:002011-09-21T17:01:43.314+01:00I completely agree Ray, it's a far more accomp...I completely agree Ray, it's a far more accomplished work that say <b><i>Zombie Creeping Flesh</i></b> and so on...

It's extremely eerie and gory, with fewer unintentional laughs than is common in most overdubbed Italian horror flicks of the late '70s and '80s.Ray Crowehttp://zombiefulci79.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409782986498845263.post-6667746935397580642011-09-21T16:47:53.319+01:002011-09-21T16:47:53.319+01:00Yep, it's the last Nasty...

I'll be sad to see 'em go, doing the series, I always knew what I was gonna be posting next, now that I'm left to my own devices I'll be in a hell of indicision about what to review, what people would like to read about etc...

What did he expect?!!!<br />Excellent review, Wes. Like you, this was one of the first films I ever saw on video - in the STRONG UNCUT VERSION circa 1982. I couldn't get enough of it.

I didn't have the uncut version myself, so when I finally got my hands on the Dragon disc a few years ago, I was astonished to see the pre-credits sequence where Menard dispatches Anne's father with a bullet and sends the boat away.

If they knew you well enough they would rent it out. Needless to say it was very popular! This was in probably 86 or 87. Eventually the tape literally wore out.
