The premise
After an abandoned boat sails into New York harbor with a zombie aboard, a reporter teams up with the daughter of the boat's missing captain to investigate the island where he was last seen conducting research—the site of an alleged zombie outbreak.
Horror Vault's take
When a drifting, apparently crewless vessel arrives in New York Harbor carrying a horrifying stowaway, an intrepid journalist and a worried daughter set sail for a remote Caribbean island to uncover the truth about what happened there. What they find is far worse than anything they imagined — a tropical nightmare where the dead refuse to stay buried. Director Lucio Fulci delivers one of Italian horror's most uncompromising gut-punches, marrying oppressive tropical atmosphere with some of the most audacious gore sequences of its era. Notorious enough to land on the UK's infamous 'video nasty' list, this is essential viewing for fans of old-school zombie carnage.
