History Creator / LucioFulci

* ''Film/Zombi2'' (known as ''Zombie Flesh Eaters'' in the UK and ''Zombie'' in the US), where a Caribbean island is infested with zombies. The title ''Zombi 2'' is a case of DolledUpInstallment: ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978'' was titled ''Zombi'' in Italy.

* ''Literature/WhiteFang'', a rare family film in his repertoire.

Lucio Fulci (17 June 1927 – 13 March 1996) was an Italian screenwriter and director, best known for splattery [[{{Giallo}} gialli]] and [[SplatterHorror horror]] films (though he also made {{western}}s and comedies). His films seldom pass up an excuse for [[{{Gorn}} gore]], and the effects are consistently over-the-top — sometimes horrifyingly convincing, sometimes [[SpecialEffectFailure amusingly fake]], but always extreme. His films are driven by theme and visual style rather than coherent plot; they tend to be [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism deeply pessimistic]], and propelled toward nihilistic {{Downer Ending}}s. Compare Creator/DarioArgento.

* ''Film/{{Zombi 3D}}'', a "sequel" to his own ''Zombi 2'' that is one part ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'', one part ''Film/DayOfTheDead1985'', and one part ''Film/TheCrazies'', telling the story of a conflict between scientists and the military following a zombie-inducing contamination and a group of survivors trying to get out of Dodge alive.

* ''Seven Notes in Black'' (called ''The Psychic'' in its English dub), a ''giallo'' about a clairvoyant woman who turns detective after receiving visions relating to a murder apparently committed in her house.

* ''Film/TheNewGladiators'', a sci-fi action film set in a dystopian future heavily inspired by ''Literature/TheRunningMan'' and ''Film/BladeRunner''. Suffers from some padding but has great action pieces, sets, and miniatures.
