How does one review "Zombiethon"? From executive producer Charles Band (of Full Moon), this is nothing but a series of clips from zombie films, mostly or completely European ones that may be hard to find (or were at the time).
I cannot say the gore is good, even though it is, because this film's creators did not make the gore, they just took clips of it. There is no plot, no acting. It is really just clip after clip of zombies attacking. If you love zombies, this might be something you want to check out... I could also see this being a good film to play in the background at a party or something.
There is a non-stop barrage of naked women frolicking (often with other naked women), which you might like, and there are some good scenes from Lucio Fulci's films -- some eye-gouging and the wonderful zombie versus shark scene. I guess since in 1986 you could not easily obtain the originals, this might have been a good idea, but now it just seems like another cheap Charlie Band maneuver (and you almost have to wonder if the people who own the rights to these films should not try to shut this picture down).
The film was once distributed by Wizard Video, though to the best of my knowledge they have been gone since the late 80s or early 90s. There is a rumor that Band has been re-issuing titles under the Wizard Video banner because of the popularity of the box art, but I know nothing about this. I saw "Zombiethon" on Netflix, and I think that may be its only existence.
