"The boat can leave now." "Tell the crew." "Chopper One to headquarters." "Chopper One to headquarters." "We got a sailboat on a collision course with just about every boat in the harbor." "Where's it at, Chopper One?" "Just off Staten Island." "It was almost run down by the ferry." "We can't raise anyone on board." "Okay, Chopper One." "We'll send out a patrol boat." " That must be it, Bill." " Okay." "We'll take a look at her." "Chopper One to headquarters." "The harbor patrol's coming alongside the sailboat now." "Ahoy there!" "This is the harbor patrol." "Anyone on board?" "Hey, Sarge, that boat's abandoned." "Yeah, she looks abandoned." "The only question is, why?" "Hey, if she is, Marty, we stand to make a nice little bonus when we bring her in." "Yeah." "Let's get' over there and check" "Bring her up alongside." "Chopper One to headquarters." "Chopper One to headquarters." "This is headquarters." "Come in, Chopper One." "The harbor patrol is about to board now." "Still no sign of life." "Skipper, that craft must be a real turkey." " Hey, watch out forthe sail!" " Huh?" "What?" "What the hell's going on?" "I'm sorry." "The winch is broken." "I'll fix the sail." "You go below and look around." "Okay." "Hey, grab that on top and bring it over here." "Okay." "Don't move." "Stay where you are, mister." "Throw your hands on the deck" "I told you not to move!" "I mean it!" "One more step, and I'm going to blast you." "Don't move, I said!" "Don't move!" "Where did they find this abandoned boat?" "I'll put someone on it." "The boys in blue been there yet?" "Thanks for your information." "You're a sweetheart." "Get' West in here." "Peter, the chief wants you." "Right." "Thanks." "See you." " What can I do for you, Chief?" " Sit down." " Are you busy now?" " That depends." "I'm giving you an assignment." "What did she say?" " Pier 15- there's a story there." " Is it somet'hing big?" "Boat without anyone on it, cop killed." "Poke around a bit." "See what you can find." "Okay." "I'll let' you know." "West." "Keep the British out of your prose, huh?" " Don't mention your uncle owns the paper." " As if I would." "They're going over the last details." "They are leaving now." "Do you see them?" "Yes, they are bringing the body to the coroners for an autopsy." "All right, back!" "Back!" "You there, back overthere!" "There's nothing to see." "Well, Miss Bowles, we're waitin'." "Yes, it's my father's boat." "Where's yourfather now?" "I don't know." "I was hoping you could tell me." "I haven't heard from him in over a month." "I see." "And how long since you last spoke to him?" "Three months, when he set sail forthe Antilles to join some friends." "The Antilles?" "Will someone please tell me what the hell's going on?" "We already have." "Man hiding on his boat, which was adrift, killed a member of the Coast Guard." "Yeah, but... my father" "Where is he?" "I mean, whats happened to him?" "Thats just what we'd like to know, Miss Bowles." "Sorry to get' you down here at this hour." "I can't understand why they're in such a hurry." "I can't understand, myself." "The DA's office phoned twice before you arrived, Doc." "Well, let's get' it over with." "Have you already examined him?" "Yeah." "I made one ortwo notes." "In my opinion, the death of the poor bastard was caused by massive hemorrhage due to a huge laceration of the jugular." "Do you have a hypothesis forthe cause of this injury?" "Take a look at these edges." "To me it's quite obvious what caused it." "There appearto be clear indications of one or more bites." "Look carefully." "Pass me the scalpel." "I wouldn't be able to cut my way through tissue paper with that, let' alone carry out an autopsy." "Take better care of your instruments, James." "Don't scream." "Don't scream." "There's nothing to be afraid of." "My name's Peter West, and I'm a reporter." "I'm gonna take my hand away, and you're not gonna scream, okay?" "Sorry if I frightened you, but if I hadn't, you'd have screamed, and ourfriend up there would have been on to both of us." "Who are you, and what are you doing on my father's boat?" "I've already told you." "My name's West, and I'm a reporter." " I've been following you all aftemoon." " Clever." "Professional curiosity?" "The police version doesn't convince me." "I guess it doesn't convince you either." "Otherwise, you wouldn't be here." "What were you looking for?" "You got a hell of a nerve." "You know that?" " You're not so bad yourself." " Please." "Let' me put it this way." "I've got some information, you've got some information." "So why don't we throw it toget'her and see what we come up with?" "I think I've already found what you're looking for." "What do we do now?" "Well, I've got an idea, but I'm gonna need your help, unless you want to explain to some judge what you were doing on yourfather's boat in the middle of the night." "Now, just do what I tell you, okay?" " Okay." " Good." "Come on." "What the hell's" "Excuse me." "Don't give me the same old story." " Well, aotually, Officer" " Same old story, huh?" "This is all yourfault." "You realize that, don't you?" " It was his idea, not mine." " Listen to her, Miss Goody Two-shoes." "It wasn't herfault?" "It was all my idea?" "Whose idea was it to have a romantic setting down by the water?" "I'd have settled for an empty boxcar." "No, never again." "Not another boxcar." "She takes after her mother." "They're both bananas." " You leave my mother out of this!" " She's crazy" "Enough of this!" "Both of you, get' out of here." "Anything you say." "Come on, sweetie pie." "Good night, Officer." "Yeah." "Out of my sight." "Good night." ""To my daughter Anne, in case anything should happen to me." "Due to my morbid curiosity, I have managed to contraot a strange disease." "They are taking care of me as if I were some sort of guinea pig, but I know I'll never leave this island again, at least not alive." "I haven't been a good father, but I have always loved you." "One last kiss from Dad." "Matool."" "It's dated 15 September." "Listen, Chief." "I'm sure there's some connection that ties this all toget'her." "Well, herfather, the disease he mentions, the boat, and the guy that got killed as well." "Yeah, well, it's her idea to go." "Okay, Chief, fine." "And, Chief, you'll fix the tickets, okay?" "Thanks." "You're beautiful." " I think it's three hours." " Yes." "If it's on schedule, we should arrive in St. Thomas at" " Flight 782 for St. Thomas" " Was that us?" " Passengers, proceed to Gate 8." " Let's go." "No, no, no." "I'll do that." "Last call for TWA flight 682 to Saint Thomas." "All aboard, please." "This is your final call." "Do you want to check on the boat, or should we go to the hotel?" "I don't know." "Whatever you think" "Señor, do you know anyone who can rent us a boat?" "Boat, señor?" "I'm sorry." "Not easy here to find boat." "We want to go to Matool." "It's very important." "I'm willing to pay whatever it costs." "Just now I remember somet'hing, señor." "What did I tell you." "This moming, friend of mine say two Americans cruise the islands." "Thats his boat." "Last one at edge of jetty." "Maybe they take you." "You ask" "Thanks." "Pedro not help you good, señor?" "Surely, yes." "Here you are." "Thanks again and good luck" "Extra water." "Store it in the galley." "Aye, aye, sir." "Ahoy there." "Hi." " Hi, yourself." " How're you doing?" "I am Peter West, and this is Anne Bowles." "Susan Barett." "And you're talking to Brian Hull." "You wouldn't be looking for a boat ride?" "We would." "We hear you're going on a tour of the islands." "Yeah, a little cruise." "Two months of fishing, bathing and sunshine." "Well, we have to go to Matool." "We're trying to locate Anne's father." "She hasn't heard from him for some time." "Matool." "Thats not a cool place to hit." "The natives claim it's cursed." "They avoid it." "We have to go there, anyway." "And you want a ride from us?" "If thats possible." "Any experience with boats?" "Mm-hmm." "And the lady?" "I was bom on a boat." "Okay." "We'll have to load more supplies." "You pay your share." " Deal?" " A deal." "Step on board." "Here." "I'll wam you right now." "Don't expect us to come sightseeing once we get' there." "I found that it never pays to ignore native superstitions." "This is Matool calling Guadalupa One." "Matool calling Guadalupa One." "Come in, Guadalupa." "This is Dr. Menard calling Guadalupa One." "Menard calling Guadalupa One." "Come in, Guadalupa One." "Still no luck?" "No." "I'm afraid it's useless to go on trying." "Then we're cut offi from the rest of the world." "Well, no, hardly." "No, I wouldn't say that." "I want to leave this damn island right now." "Well, you can't right now." "The radio isn't working." "How convenient for you." "I wouldn't be surprised if you broke it on purpose." "You're tired." "Go to hell!" "David, are you going out?" "I have to go to the hospital." "Have they found another one?" "They have, haven't they?" " Tell the truth." " Now, calm down." " Where did they find it this time?" " You really mustn't drink so much." "I asked you a question." "They're on the other side of the island." "When will they reach this side?" "Tell me." "I really think you ought to rest." "We'll talk about it later." "There's really no need to agitate yourself so much." "I hate you." "No." "You don't know what you're saying." "How you'd like to be able to pass me offi as crazy." "The truth is I'm a danger for you." "Apart from a handful of superstitious natives," "I'm the only one who knows what you're doing." "And don't think I'm going to keep my mouth shut." "I'm going to tell everyone that you are the one who's crazy, demented, cruel, evil" "I'll be at the hospital." "Hospital." "You still see yourself as the scientist you once were, don't you?" "Well, you're not." "You're no better than one of their witch doctors." "Just stop it!" " My research is" " Research!" "You call fooling around with superstitions and voodoo rites research?" "You know perfectly well that the worki I'm doing is very important." " I wouldn't be here if it wasn't." " I don't give a damn!" "I don't want to stay on this island one more hour." "You won't be happy until I meet one of your zombies." "Now, look" "As soon as I've understood the phenomenon, we'll leave." "I don't believe you." "I don't believe you." "I don't believe anything you say anymore." "Miguel." "Miguel." "I have to go to the hospital." "Make sure nobody comes nearthe house." "Si, señor." "Miguel guard." "Doctor no worry." " Nobody." " Si, señor." "Tell me the depth, Susan." "Will I hit?" "Well?" "Nine, eight." "You'll have to pass straight, this way." " We were lucky to find you two." " You could say that." "We're sure not having the same luck trying to find your island." "We should be somewhere around here, right?" "More or less, yeah." "But, acoording to the map, there are no islands forthe next 50 miles." "Not necessarily true." "So many islands around here, a lot haven't been charted." "The last couple we saw aren't on any chart." "It's hit or miss." " We could spend a month out here." " Like looking for a needle in a haystack" " You don't want to go back, do you?" " No." "We'll find Matool." "Thats a promise." "Don't go counting on us forever." "Don't forget', we're on vacation." "Brian!" "It's time to work I want to take some shots." "Brian, quick, tum offi the motor." "Look!" "Overthere!" "See?" "Thats another island." "Maybe we're in luck at last." "Who's to say that that isn't Matool?" "Help!" "There's a sharki!" "Help!" "It's going to attack her." "Hurry!" "I'm going back down!" " There was a man down there." " What?" " There was a man." " A man?" "He's over here, Doctor." "Don't think he'll last 'til the moming." "What shall I do?" "Take him into the sacristy." "I don't want the others to see him." "There's no need to alarm them." "Tie him down securely." "Doctor!" "Doc!" "Doctor, everybody leaving now." "Quiet', please." "Nurse, look afterthat patient." "Doctor, the natives leaving village." "Everybody go." "What do we do?" "Talk about it outside." " Well, what happened?" " Don't know." "Fear in village." "There's great trouble and commotion." "It's the juju man, the new one." "It's big and plenty." "They seem possessed by all the devils in hell." "How ridiculous." "The natives are going crazy." "They run all over village." "They pick up their possess ions and disappear." "Where did they go?" "They going inland." "They're making voodoo, I think" "Voodoo." "Voodoo won't solve anything." "Doctor, they're afraid." "Very much afraid, these people." "You too." "You're afraid, aren't you, Lucas?" "This is all right." "Give hertwo orthree feet of slack, and then tie her offi." "Doctor." "Doctor Menard." "What?" "Whats wrong?" "Matthias." "Matthias?" "Matthias what?" "He's" "Why don't you say lt?" "Are you afraid to say lt?" "Huh?" "It's not that." "I don't believe in voodoo." "I don't believe in voodoo either, but the natives do." "So we investigate the phenomena, right?" "I've seen them, and you've seen them." "Now, Matthias, he's one of them, is he?" "Well, we have to help him." "We have to try to help him." "So we go to the hospital." "Come on." "The drive shafts cracked." "It must've been the shark when he hit us." "Is it serious?" "Well, we have two possibilities:" "Either we go ashore and walk around until we come to the local repair shop," " or" " Or?" "Or we remain here, fire off some flares and hope that somebody will help us." "We'll have a tough time making it to the next island if we don't get' that shaft fixed." "Poor Matthias." "Let's go." " What is it, Lucas?" " Rockets." "There's somebody firing rockets." " Rockets?" " I see them, man." " You know where they come from?" " They coming from Catfsh Bay." "I better go and investigate." "Take care of him for me." "Who is lt?" "The devil?" "We'll know soon enough." "Let's get' this over with." "Bury them now, Missey?" "No, not yet'." "There are two more who are going to die soon." "Dad!" "Where are you?" "Why did you leave me alone to die?" "I've seen you." "With my own eyes." "Come to me." "Father." "Don't leave me." "I buried you, but I see you walking." "I met' yourfather about three years ago when he first came out to these islands." "Whenever he could, he would stay for a few weeks here with me... on Matool." "Then he... became a viotim of the disease." "He insisted upon staying in spite of everything I said to him." "I insisted that he should leave, but he wouldn't." "He felt that he could in some way become a guinea pig, that he could help in discovering what was causing the horrors that were destroying our island, transforming it into a wasteland of terror." "Extremely courageous man." "I rememberthe day when my assistant came to tell me that yourfather was dying." "Doctor!" "Yourfriend." "Quickly." "Get' closer." "It's overfor me." "I feel I'm about to die." "I've had a good life, but I neverthought it would end this way." "I've got two things to ask Listen carefully." "They're very important, my friend." "I have written to my dear child Anne." "The letter, see that it gets to her." "And make sure... my soul rests in everlasting peace." "I spent the day watching over his body." "But I knew eventually I would have to find the courafe to release him from the living dead." "The boat can leave now." "Tell the crew." "What exaotly did my father die of?" " And what happened to the boats crew?" " Yes, Doctor." "What is all this about the dead coming back to life again and having to be killed a second time?" "What the hell's going on here?" " You ever heard of voodoo?" " Voodoo?" "Doctor, you gotta be joking." "Thats kid stuff." "I mean, voodoo's just plain superstitious horseshit." "Basically, it's a mixture of two religions." "One" " Catholicism, brought here by the Spanish conquistadores." "And two" " African tribal rites that were brought here by the slave trade." "Well, whatever it is, it makes the dead stand up and walk" " I've seen it with my own eyes." " Thats impossible." "I know it's impossible." "I've seen it." "The natives say it's... somet'hing to do with voodoo." "Some evil witch doctor creates these zombies, but I'm sure there's a natural explanation, and I'm det'ermined to find it." "Somet'hing's happened to Mr. Fritz." "What happened to him?" "No one told me." "Take a look" "Go inside." "Bad news?" "Fritz, a friend of mine, happens to be the only other white man on the island." "He's had an accident." "We've got him at the hospital." " I'm sure he'll be all right." " Is there anything we can do?" "No, no." "Thank you." "As you wish." "Well, yes." "My wife's alone at the cottage." "Our manservant is looking after her." "I'd be very grateful if you'd call on her." "It's only seven or eight miles up the trail." "You can't miss it." "Go on." "I'll see you later." "Doctor, I thought it was more advisable to bring him here." "You did right." "What happened to your arm, Fritz?" "I left the living dead." "Too late." "I saw it too late." "Where?" "Where did you see this?" "In the village." "I saw it." "I can't" "In this village?" "Yeah." " Tell Lucas to lock all the doors." " It's no use." "It's a waste of time to lock the doors." "They'll be here soon... to destroy us all." "We must have driven eight miles by now." "Yes, more than that." "Why don't we just sail to the nearest place where we know there's a shipyard?" " After we've seen the doctor's wife." " Look, Peter." "Is that lt?" "Nice layout." "This is the nicest place on the island." "The doctor's doing all right, by the look of it." "But there's somet'hing fishy about him." "Mrs. Menard." "Mrs. Menard?" "It doesn't seem like anybody's at home." "What do we do now?" "Might as well go inside." "Is there anybody here?" "Come on." "Brian, you drive." "Quick, Brian!" "Hurry!" "Get' us out of here, please!" "My God, did my father become one of those?" "No, he didn't." "You heard the doctor." "Let's find that hospital and get' the hell out of here as quickly as we can." "Look out!" "Damn it." "The radiator's had it." "Well, I think my ankle's gone the same way." "We're gonna have to walk now." "Think you can make lt?" " We don't have much choice, do we?" " Come on." "Let's get' to that hospital before dark" "Give him a hand." "Drums." "Getting closer." "I hate it!" "Damn you, you bastards!" "I can't take it." "Come on." "They're doing a little voodoo on us." "Yes, well, anyway, let's hurry up." "It's going to be dark soon." "Lucas?" "You know what is the cause of all this?" " Is it voodoo?" " Lucas not know nothing, man." "The father of my father always say, when the earth spit out the dead, they will come back to suck the blood from the living." "That's nonsense." "That's just a stupid superstition." "Yes, you are right, Doctor." "You know many more things than Lucas." "I don't believe that voodoo can bring the dead back to life." "And Lucas not believe..." "that the dead be dead." "No." "It's no good." "I can't go any further." "Gotta rest up for a bit." "Okay, Peter." "We'll take a quick five here." "Gotta be close to that damn hospital now." "Look." "Why don't you two rest here." "And we'll take a look up ahead, right?" " What is it?" " It's a helmet." "Must be over 400 years old." "This must have been a cemetery for the Spanish Conquistadores." "I'm sorry I dragged you into all this." "It's my father we came looking for, isn't it?" "You know, when we get back to New York..." "Uh-uh." "You don't have to say anything now." "It's just..." "I'm so scared we're not gonna make it off this island." "Susan." "Come on, let's go, before it's too late." "We can't leave her here alone." " She's dead." " Brian, don't you understand?" "She's dead." "There's nothing that you can do here." "Come on, man." "Let's go." "Brian!" " Leave me here." " Come on, get up!" "Is that a church?" "We've done it." "He's fading rapidly." "Shall I continue with the transfusion?" "It's useless." "He's gonna die anyway." "Doctor!" "Please!" "Open the door!" "Come on, Doctor!" "Open the door now!" "Out there, they're coming back to life." "They're everywhere." "What about my wife?" "Thank you." "What the hell are they, Doctor?" "I don't know." "It all started about three months ago." "One of the fishermen said he'd seen his wife walking in the village at night," "only she'd been dead for two days." "Well, at the time, nobody believed the story." "In these islands, fantastic legends... voodooism, zombies... have been around for centuries." "As a man of science," "I don't believe in voodooism." "But the phenomenon defies logical explanation." "I've attempted to apply the disciplines of bacteriology, virology, even of radiology." "We've performed tests for epilepsy and for catalepsy." "Nothing fits." " Will that hold 'em?" " Not a chance." " How can we stop them?" " Here, take this." "I've got another gun in my office." "There's two drums of kerosene in the sacristy." "Right, Doc." "You two stay where you are." "Watch those windows." "Nurse, come with me." "We've gotta get some empty bottles, all you can find." "Dr. Menard." "No!" "No!" "No!" "You bring some too." "Come on." "Go get some more bottles." "Brian, two more." "Shoot her, West!" "Shoot her!" "Shoot her!" "Come on, Brian." "We have to get to the boat." "Can't we go any faster?" "The drive shaft could go any second." "We'll make it to San Cristobal." "There's a yard there that can fix..." "What is it?" "I feel so cold." "So cold." "I don't want to become like..." "Take me home, Peter." "Save me." "Save me." "I beg you." "He's dead." "What do we do now?" "Lock him in the bilge, take him back with us to the States." "Someone there might be able to do something." "But... we can't risk it." "You know what he might turn into." "Well, I'll make sure that he's safe." "We've got to take him back with us." "He's the only proof we've got that this all happened." "And we will need proof, unfortunately." "Otherwise, they'll just think that we're crazy." "I don't care." "I feel dead myself." "Take the wheel." "Let's see if we can find something more cheerful on the radio." "In the latest news, the situation here in New York City since the discovery of the first zombie is getting worse by the hour." "There's chaos in the streets." "The National Guard cannot control the situation." "In every borough of the city, from Bronx to Brooklyn, from Queens to Coney Island, the zombies are everywhere." "The governor has declared a state of national emergency and has asked the president for immediate assistance." "The zombies are everywhere." "There seems to be no way to stop them." "The city is at their mercy." "Barricades have been thrown up throughout Manhattan." "General Stein of the National Guard said that missiles will be used if necessary." "Subtitles by J.R. Media Services, Inc." " Burbank, CA" "The boat can leave now." "Tell the crew." "Chopper One to headquarters." "Chopper One to headquarters." "We got a sailboat on a collision course with just about every boat in the harbor." "Where's it at, Chopper One?" "Just off Staten Island." "It was almost run down by the ferry."

"Thanks for your information." "You're a sweetheart." "Get' West in here." "Peter, the chief wants you." "Right." "Thanks." "See you." " What can I do for you, Chief?" " Sit down."

"Now, just do what I tell you, okay?" " Okay." " Good." "Come on." "What the hell's" "Excuse me." "Don't give me the same old story." " Well, aotually, Officer" " Same old story, huh?" "This is all yourfault." "You realize that, don't you?" " It was his idea, not mine." " Listen to her, Miss Goody Two-shoes." "It wasn't herfault?" "It was all my idea?" "Whose idea was it to have a romantic setting down by the water?" "I'd have settled for an empty boxcar." "No, never again." "Not another boxcar." "She takes after her mother." "They're both bananas." " You leave my mother out of this!" " She's crazy" "Enough of this!" "Both of you, get' out of here." "Anything you say." "Come on, sweetie pie." "Good night, Officer." "Yeah." "Out of my sight." "Good night." ""To my daughter Anne, in case anything should happen to me." "Due to my morbid curiosity, I have managed to contraot a strange disease." "They are taking care of me as if I were some sort of guinea pig, but I know I'll never leave this island again, at least not alive." "I haven't been a good father, but I have always loved you." "One last kiss from Dad." "Matool."" "It's dated 15 September." "Listen, Chief." "I'm sure there's some connection that ties this all toget'her." "Well, herfather, the disease he mentions, the boat, and the guy that got killed as well." "Yeah, well, it's her idea to go." "Okay, Chief, fine." "And, Chief, you'll fix the tickets, okay?" "Thanks." "You're beautiful." " I think it's three hours." " Yes." "If it's on schedule, we should arrive in St. Thomas at" " Flight 782 for St. Thomas" " Was that us?" " Passengers, proceed to Gate 8." " Let's go." "No, no, no." "I'll do that." "Last call for TWA flight 682 to Saint Thomas." "All aboard, please." "This is your final call." "Do you want to check on the boat, or should we go to the hotel?" "I don't know." "Whatever you think" "Señor, do you know anyone who can rent us a boat?" "Boat, señor?" "I'm sorry." "Not easy here to find boat." "We want to go to Matool." "It's very important." "I'm willing to pay whatever it costs." "Just now I remember somet'hing, señor." "What did I tell you." "This moming, friend of mine say two Americans cruise the islands." "Thats his boat." "Last one at edge of jetty." "Maybe they take you." "You ask" "Thanks." "Pedro not help you good, señor?" "Surely, yes." "Here you are." "Thanks again and good luck" "Extra water." "Store it in the galley." "Aye, aye, sir." "Ahoy there." "Hi." " Hi, yourself." " How're you doing?" "I am Peter West, and this is Anne Bowles." "Susan Barett." "And you're talking to Brian Hull." "You wouldn't be looking for a boat ride?" "We would." "We hear you're going on a tour of the islands." "Yeah, a little cruise." "Two months of fishing, bathing and sunshine." "Well, we have to go to Matool." "We're trying to locate Anne's father." "She hasn't heard from him for some time." "Matool." "Thats not a cool place to hit." "The natives claim it's cursed." "They avoid it." "We have to go there, anyway." "And you want a ride from us?" "If thats possible." "Any experience with boats?" "Mm-hmm." "And the lady?" "I was bom on a boat." "Okay." "We'll have to load more supplies." "You pay your share." " Deal?" " A deal." "Step on board." "Here." "I'll wam you right now." "Don't expect us to come sightseeing once we get' there." "I found that it never pays to ignore native superstitions." "This is Matool calling Guadalupa One." "Matool calling Guadalupa One." "Come in, Guadalupa." "This is Dr. Menard calling Guadalupa One." "Menard calling Guadalupa One." "Come in, Guadalupa One." "Still no luck?" "No." "I'm afraid it's useless to go on trying." "Then we're cut offi from the rest of the world." "Well, no, hardly." "No, I wouldn't say that." "I want to leave this damn island right now." "Well, you can't right now." "The radio isn't working." "How convenient for you." "I wouldn't be surprised if you broke it on purpose." "You're tired." "Go to hell!" "David, are you going out?" "I have to go to the hospital." "Have they found another one?" "They have, haven't they?" " Tell the truth." " Now, calm down." " Where did they find it this time?" " You really mustn't drink so much." "I asked you a question." "They're on the other side of the island." "When will they reach this side?" "Tell me." "I really think you ought to rest." "We'll talk about it later." "There's really no need to agitate yourself so much." "I hate you." "No." "You don't know what you're saying." "How you'd like to be able to pass me offi as crazy." "The truth is I'm a danger for you." "Apart from a handful of superstitious natives," "I'm the only one who knows what you're doing." "And don't think I'm going to keep my mouth shut." "I'm going to tell everyone that you are the one who's crazy, demented, cruel, evil" "I'll be at the hospital." "Hospital." "You still see yourself as the scientist you once were, don't you?" "Well, you're not." "You're no better than one of their witch doctors." "Just stop it!" " My research is" " Research!" "You call fooling around with superstitions and voodoo rites research?" "You know perfectly well that the worki I'm doing is very important." " I wouldn't be here if it wasn't." " I don't give a damn!" "I don't want to stay on this island one more hour." "You won't be happy until I meet one of your zombies." "Now, look" "As soon as I've understood the phenomenon, we'll leave." "I don't believe you." "I don't believe you." "I don't believe anything you say anymore." "Miguel." "Miguel." "I have to go to the hospital." "Make sure nobody comes nearthe house." "Si, señor." "Miguel guard." "Doctor no worry." " Nobody." " Si, señor." "Tell me the depth, Susan." "Will I hit?" "Well?" "Nine, eight." "You'll have to pass straight, this way." " We were lucky to find you two." " You could say that." "We're sure not having the same luck trying to find your island." "We should be somewhere around here, right?" "More or less, yeah." "But, acoording to the map, there are no islands forthe next 50 miles." "Not necessarily true." "So many islands around here, a lot haven't been charted." "The last couple we saw aren't on any chart." "It's hit or miss." " We could spend a month out here." " Like looking for a needle in a haystack" " You don't want to go back, do you?" " No." "We'll find Matool." "Thats a promise." "Don't go counting on us forever." "Don't forget', we're on vacation." "Brian!" "It's time to work I want to take some shots." "Brian, quick, tum offi the motor." "Look!" "Overthere!" "See?" "Thats another island." "Maybe we're in luck at last." "Who's to say that that isn't Matool?" "Help!" "There's a sharki!" "Help!" "It's going to attack her." "Hurry!" "I'm going back down!" " There was a man down there." " What?" " There was a man." " A man?" "He's over here, Doctor." "Don't think he'll last 'til the moming." "What shall I do?" "Take him into the sacristy." "I don't want the others to see him." "There's no need to alarm them." "Tie him down securely." "Doctor!" "Doc!" "Doctor, everybody leaving now." "Quiet', please." "Nurse, look afterthat patient." "Doctor, the natives leaving village." "Everybody go." "What do we do?" "Talk about it outside." " Well, what happened?" " Don't know." "Fear in village." "There's great trouble and commotion." "It's the juju man, the new one." "It's big and plenty." "They seem possessed by all the devils in hell." "How ridiculous." "The natives are going crazy." "They run all over village." "They pick up their possess ions and disappear." "Where did they go?" "They going inland." "They're making voodoo, I think" "Voodoo." "Voodoo won't solve anything." "Doctor, they're afraid." "Very much afraid, these people." "You too." "You're afraid, aren't you, Lucas?" "This is all right." "Give hertwo orthree feet of slack, and then tie her offi." "Doctor." "Doctor Menard." "What?" "Whats wrong?" "Matthias." "Matthias?" "Matthias what?" "He's" "Why don't you say lt?" "Are you afraid to say lt?" "Huh?" "It's not that." "I don't believe in voodoo." "I don't believe in voodoo either, but the natives do." "So we investigate the phenomena, right?" "I've seen them, and you've seen them." "Now, Matthias, he's one of them, is he?" "Well, we have to help him." "We have to try to help him." "So we go to the hospital." "Come on." "The drive shafts cracked." "It must've been the shark when he hit us." "Is it serious?" "Well, we have two possibilities:" "Either we go ashore and walk around until we come to the local repair shop," " or" " Or?" "Or we remain here, fire off some flares and hope that somebody will help us." "We'll have a tough time making it to the next island if we don't get' that shaft fixed." "Poor Matthias." "Let's go." " What is it, Lucas?" " Rockets." "There's somebody firing rockets." " Rockets?" " I see them, man." " You know where they come from?" " They coming from Catfsh Bay." "I better go and investigate." "Take care of him for me." "Who is lt?" "The devil?" "We'll know soon enough." "Let's get' this over with." "Bury them now, Missey?" "No, not yet'." "There are two more who are going to die soon." "Dad!" "Where are you?" "Why did you leave me alone to die?" "I've seen you." "With my own eyes." "Come to me." "Father." "Don't leave me." "I buried you, but I see you walking." "I met' yourfather about three years ago when he first came out to these islands." "Whenever he could, he would stay for a few weeks here with me... on Matool." "Then he... became a viotim of the disease." "He insisted upon staying in spite of everything I said to him." "I insisted that he should leave, but he wouldn't." "He felt that he could in some way become a guinea pig, that he could help in discovering what was causing the horrors that were destroying our island, transforming it into a wasteland of terror." "Extremely courageous man." "I rememberthe day when my assistant came to tell me that yourfather was dying." "Doctor!" "Yourfriend." "Quickly." "Get' closer." "It's overfor me." "I feel I'm about to die." "I've had a good life, but I neverthought it would end this way." "I've got two things to ask Listen carefully." "They're very important, my friend." "I have written to my dear child Anne." "The letter, see that it gets to her." "And make sure... my soul rests in everlasting peace." "I spent the day watching over his body." "But I knew eventually I would have to find the courafe to release him from the living dead." "The boat can leave now." "Tell the crew." "What exaotly did my father die of?" " And what happened to the boats crew?" " Yes, Doctor." "What is all this about the dead coming back to life again and having to be killed a second time?" "What the hell's going on here?" " You ever heard of voodoo?" " Voodoo?" "Doctor, you gotta be joking." "Thats kid stuff." "I mean, voodoo's just plain superstitious horseshit." "Basically, it's a mixture of two religions." "One" " Catholicism, brought here by the Spanish conquistadores." "And two" " African tribal rites that were brought here by the slave trade." "Well, whatever it is, it makes the dead stand up and walk" " I've seen it with my own eyes." " Thats impossible." "I know it's impossible." "I've seen it." "The natives say it's... somet'hing to do with voodoo." "Some evil witch doctor creates these zombies, but I'm sure there's a natural explanation, and I'm det'ermined to find it." "Somet'hing's happened to Mr. Fritz." "What happened to him?" "No one told me." "Take a look" "Go inside." "Bad news?" "Fritz, a friend of mine, happens to be the only other white man on the island." "He's had an accident." "We've got him at the hospital." " I'm sure he'll be all right." " Is there anything we can do?" "No, no." "Thank you." "As you wish." "Well, yes." "My wife's alone at the cottage." "Our manservant is looking after her." "I'd be very grateful if you'd call on her." "It's only seven or eight miles up the trail." "You can't miss it." "Go on." "I'll see you later." "Doctor, I thought it was more advisable to bring him here." "You did right." "What happened to your arm, Fritz?" "I left the living dead." "Too late." "I saw it too late." "Where?" "Where did you see this?" "In the village." "I saw it." "I can't" "In this village?" "Yeah." " Tell Lucas to lock all the doors." " It's no use." "It's a waste of time to lock the doors." "They'll be here soon... to destroy us all." "We must have driven eight miles by now." "Yes, more than that." "Why don't we just sail to the nearest place where we know there's a shipyard?" " After we've seen the doctor's wife." " Look, Peter." "Is that lt?" "Nice layout." "This is the nicest place on the island." "The doctor's doing all right, by the look of it." "But there's somet'hing fishy about him." "Mrs. Menard." "Mrs. Menard?" "It doesn't seem like anybody's at home." "What do we do now?" "Might as well go inside." "Is there anybody here?" "Come on." "Brian, you drive." "Quick, Brian!" "Hurry!" "Get' us out of here, please!" "My God, did my father become one of those?" "No, he didn't." "You heard the doctor." "Let's find that hospital and get' the hell out of here as quickly as we can." "Look out!" "Damn it." "The radiator's had it." "Well, I think my ankle's gone the same way." "We're gonna have to walk now." "Think you can make lt?" " We don't have much choice, do we?" " Come on." "Let's get' to that hospital before dark" "Give him a hand." "Drums." "Getting closer." "I hate it!" "Damn you, you bastards!" "I can't take it." "Come on." "They're doing a little voodoo on us." "Yes, well, anyway, let's hurry up." "It's going to be dark soon." "Lucas?" "You know what is the cause of all this?" " Is it voodoo?" " Lucas not know nothing, man." "The father of my father always say, when the earth spit out the dead, they will come back to suck the blood from the living." "That's nonsense." "That's just a stupid superstition." "Yes, you are right, Doctor." "You know many more things than Lucas." "I don't believe that voodoo can bring the dead back to life." "And Lucas not believe..." "that the dead be dead." "No." "It's no good." "I can't go any further." "Gotta rest up for a bit." "Okay, Peter." "We'll take a quick five here." "Gotta be close to that damn hospital now." "Look." "Why don't you two rest here." "And we'll take a look up ahead, right?" " What is it?" " It's a helmet." "Must be over 400 years old." "This must have been a cemetery for the Spanish Conquistadores." "I'm sorry I dragged you into all this." "It's my father we came looking for, isn't it?" "You know, when we get back to New York..." "Uh-uh." "You don't have to say anything now." "It's just..." "I'm so scared we're not gonna make it off this island." "Susan." "Come on, let's go, before it's too late." "We can't leave her here alone." " She's dead." " Brian, don't you understand?" "She's dead." "There's nothing that you can do here." "Come on, man." "Let's go." "Brian!" " Leave me here." " Come on, get up!" "Is that a church?" "We've done it." "He's fading rapidly." "Shall I continue with the transfusion?" "It's useless." "He's gonna die anyway." "Doctor!" "Please!" "Open the door!" "Come on, Doctor!" "Open the door now!" "Out there, they're coming back to life." "They're everywhere." "What about my wife?" "Thank you." "What the hell are they, Doctor?" "I don't know." "It all started about three months ago." "One of the fishermen said he'd seen his wife walking in the village at night," "only she'd been dead for two days." "Well, at the time, nobody believed the story." "In these islands, fantastic legends... voodooism, zombies... have been around for centuries." "As a man of science," "I don't believe in voodooism." "But the phenomenon defies logical explanation." "I've attempted to apply the disciplines of bacteriology, virology, even of radiology." "We've performed tests for epilepsy and for catalepsy." "Nothing fits." " Will that hold 'em?" " Not a chance." " How can we stop them?" " Here, take this." "I've got another gun in my office." "There's two drums of kerosene in the sacristy." "Right, Doc." "You two stay where you are." "Watch those windows." "Nurse, come with me." "We've gotta get some empty bottles, all you can find." "Dr. Menard." "No!" "No!" "No!" "You bring some too." "Come on." "Go get some more bottles." "Brian, two more." "Shoot her, West!" "Shoot her!" "Shoot her!" "Come on, Brian." "We have to get to the boat." "Can't we go any faster?" "The drive shaft could go any second." "We'll make it to San Cristobal." "There's a yard there that can fix..." "What is it?" "I feel so cold." "So cold." "I don't want to become like..." "Take me home, Peter." "Save me." "Save me." "I beg you." "He's dead." "What do we do now?" "Lock him in the bilge, take him back with us to the States." "Someone there might be able to do something." "But... we can't risk it." "You know what he might turn into." "Well, I'll make sure that he's safe." "We've got to take him back with us." "He's the only proof we've got that this all happened." "And we will need proof, unfortunately." "Otherwise, they'll just think that we're crazy." "I don't care." "I feel dead myself." "Take the wheel." "Let's see if we can find something more cheerful on the radio." "In the latest news, the situation here in New York City since the discovery of the first zombie is getting worse by the hour." "There's chaos in the streets." "The National Guard cannot control the situation." "In every borough of the city, from Bronx to Brooklyn, from Queens to Coney Island, the zombies are everywhere." "The governor has declared a state of national emergency and has asked the president for immediate assistance." "The zombies are everywhere." "There seems to be no way to stop them." "The city is at their mercy." "Barricades have been thrown up throughout Manhattan." "General Stein of the National Guard said that missiles will be used if necessary." "Subtitles by J.R.
