They are the same your right, the only reason it\'s zombie 2 is because it\'s a special 25th anniversay edition set. Very good movie may I say, which I own myself. One of fulci\'s best!

Found this for ya Mike.

Definitely a love it or hate it type of film, Lucio Fulci\'s Zombie is by far his most famous contribution to the horror genre and still ranks as one of the goriest features ever made. Fortunately, time has been very kind to this film; its guttersnipe nastiness now seems almost quaint and reassuring after two subsequent decades of jokey, watered-down horror hokum. Despite a draggy first third, Fulci really delivers the goods with this one, and the final two acts are an admirable escalation of pure nightmare on film.

The plot (what there is) follows Tisa Farrow (Mia\'s look-alike sister who appeared in The Grim Reaper and the excellent cult film Fingers) as she travels with Ian McCullough from New York to the cursed tropical island of Matoul, where the dead have been coming back to life and attacking the locals. The mayhem all stems from the reckless mad scientist, Dr. Meynard (The Haunting\'s Richard Johnson), who has been combining science with ancient voodoo rituals. Pretty soon, the entire cast (including Fulci regular Al Cliver and Auretta Gay) is fighting off hordes of the living dead, and the blood runs deep enough to require a raincoat.

Originally released under the title Zombi 2 in Italy, Fulci\'s epic was intended as a pseudo-sequel to George Romero\'s profitable living dead classic, Dawn of the Dead (released in Europe as Zombi). However, Fulci opted to drop Romero\'s satiric approach and goes straight for the jugular, offering no social commentary or redeeming substance whatsoever. Of course, it\'s an easy film to attack; it lacks the flair of Fulci\'s The Beyond or House by the Cemetery, and on the whole, the acting is pretty awful. Farrow and McCullough have little to do besides look neurotic, and Johnson skulks about in a haggard fashion and grumbles about the dead disturbing his work. The best acting award easily goes to the beautiful Olga Karlatos, who also enlivened Fulci\'s Murderock and is best known as Prince\'s mom in Purple Rain! She makes a very strong impression in the two scenes she has, particularly during the infamous close encounter between one of her eyes and a very large wooden splinter.

As usual, the Roan Group and Anchor Bay have done a top-notch job bringing this to disc. The original VHS editions of Zombie from Wizard Video, Magnum Video (who also issued a long out-of-print pan and scan laserdisc), and a handful of public domain companies looked pretty wretched, suffering from greenish skin tones during the island scenes and muffled, scratchy audio. The Japanese laserdisc (under the Zombi 2 title) looked substantially better, though the print was somewhat worn, with hissy sound. Roan\'s edition, the best we\'ll see anytime soon, boasts a new digitally remixed soundtrack in Dolby Digital. Like Grindhouse Releasing\'s superb job on Cannibal Ferox (Make Them Die Slowly), the redirected effects and music sound completely organic and believable, adding immeasurably to the depth and effectiveness of the film. I especially love the startling wave sounds during the New York habor opening sequence and some of the ambient jungle effects, while each gunshot makes you jump out of your seat. Of course, the dubbed voices still sound canned, and Fabio Frizzi\'s stirring music score doesn\'t sound as punchy as one might wish, but that can\'t be helped. Though the clarity of the picture is fine, the colors have been digitally enhanced and punched up a little too much for comfort on the laserdisc; for example, during a couple of faded scenes, the shadows glow an electric blue. Turn down the color control on your monitor a bit, however, and the film looks as it should. On the other hand, the Anchor Bay DVD is too pale... but either one is watchable. The fun bonus material includes the U.S. theatrical trailer, a couple of TV spots, and some hilarious radio promos. Also, the commentary by Ian McCullough provides quite a few chuckles, including his amazing comparison between Fulci and Preston Sturges! More often, though, the comments stray way off the subject and may not please Fulciphiles.
