Jesus, the main titles are shown about 20 minutes into the film and the action doesn't start until 45 minutes in the film so prepare yourself to be pretty bored.

Overall the concept is a stretch but since most horror plots are I gave this film a shot. Not a Zombie film and not enough of an appearance by the "Prince of Darkness" himself to make this much of a religious horror flick either.Bugs, spooky homeless people, an African American man sterotypically singing a hymn, and other predictable scary things make this film tamer than one would want or expect.

A few bright spots include:

The makeup of the woman possessed by the devil (she looked delightfully hideous)

The dream sequence's use of video (makes for a creepy atmosphere)

Some seriously funny lines like "You know, you could pass for Asian" (WTF?!)

One seriously Pedophilic Mustache on the lead character.

What it all boils down to is the feeling you get while watching it "Wow, this is the beginning of the end of great Carpenter films..." Save the time and watch "The Thing" for the millionth time and think fondly of Carpenter's golden years.

OK,as far as special the sight of a woman getting a splinter of wood rammed through her eye was a sight to behold but more gruesome than that bloodshed was the terrible quality of the storyline. Yes, I'm fully aware that this sort of movie is considered Cheese but this stuff is sliced so thin you can see straight through it.

With a plot that often baffles and confuses and Mia Farrows sister trying her best to look like she actually care, Zombi 2 is all about the special effects. If blood, guts and gore is your bag, Zombi is a treat. If you like your horror accented by a coherent story look elsewhere. If you're a true blue horror fan like myself you will get a kick out of skimming through the DVD chapters of the flick to all of the amazing gross outs (hats off to such sophisticated looking stuff, horror movies nowadays don't hold a candle)

I recommend this to hardcore gore hounds who could care less about plot.

4/10 (The shark vs zombie scene was cool but only made me realize that there's two types of dummies in this world: women who would scuba dive topless and stunt doubles who would start beef with a real shark)
