Zombio (1999) User Reviews

Good and entertaining Brazilian zombie flick

[raiquerlt1 · 7/10 · 8 April 2013]

Petter Baiestorf's Zombio is one of the best horror films made in Brazil (despite we don't have much of this around here). The gore is very graphic, obviously, you shouldn't expect some stunning gore FX but if you keep your expectations down and treat this movie like you should (as a Z-grade amateur horror film), you may have a lot of fun while watching this. Some hot babies in this, and yes, some pretty nice boobs. So if you want a hilarious, while very gory horror/comedy stuff, involving zombies, lunatics and even with a very funny cameo of the director of the movie, you might very much appreciate this.

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English... It's not my first language, so I'm doing a really effort to make a 10-line-review for this film.

Zombie Brazil

SOV filmmaker is the same as Lucio Fulci fans - this movie is dedicated to the Italian director - and this movie feels like Zombi in Brazil because, well, that's exactly what it's supposed to be, even recreating the scenes of the dead coming back to life covered in moss and dirt.

There's a couple - wealthy ecologists - stranded on an island - Matul, it has to be - when a cross-dressing serial killer - as an old lady and bringing along a potential victim - also makes his way there and a priestess commands the undead as they stumble through the jungle. Also these guys probably told the kitchen to keep the guts and put them in a doggy bag when they ordered their feijoada because those organs look suspiciously true to life.

I haven't seen a Brazilian zombie movie yet, so now I feel there's one more culture's walking dead example that I can check off my passport.

Director and writer Petter Baiestorf is still making movies. He was also the creator of the 2013 sequel Zombio 2: Chimarrão Zombies.
