For Tarantino, this movie is a must-have horror movie, and he wanted to show it to Brad Pitt!

Brad Pitt is set to reunite with Quentin Tarantino for his latest film The Movie Critic, and his role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood earned him an Oscar, but the superstar first worked in 2009. With the director of Pulp Fiction.

Memorable as Nazi hunter Aldo Raines in Inglourious Basterds, the American actor has also been able to take advantage of some of Tarantino’s film recommendations, known for his insatiable appetite for film.

As actor and director Eli Roth (who played the great Sergeant Donnie Donowitz), during production he and Tarantino praised the merits of an atypical feature film, to say the least, Brad Pitt: Zombie Hell, directed by Italian filmmaker Lucio Fulci. Nicknamed “The Godfather of the Hill”.

Shark VS Zombie

Along with other anthology moments, this film, banned for children under 12 (and originally titled Zombi 2, in total confusion with Romero’s film) notably featured an underwater showdown between a zombie and…a shark!

“During the filming of Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino and I explained this scene to Brad Pitt, who had never seen it, so Quentin took a copy of his 35mm film and showed it to him.– said to Eli Roth at the microphone The Daily Beast.

“This is one of the best scenes ever.”

During the same interview, the director of the hostel explained why the said scene was special:

“It’s a low-budget movie that was made for $250,000 and they really put a zombie and a girl in a tank with a shark. There was no cutting, it all happened from the same plan.”Eli Roth said.

“It’s one of the best scenes ever, because the shark, which is a real shark, cuts off part of the zombie, and then the zombie bites the shark before leaving. They have to give that shark a huge dose of sedatives because it’s really a shark attacking a zombie.

Directed by Lucio Fulci in 1979, Zombie Hell follows the adventures of young Anne Bowles, who travels to Matu Island in the West Indies to investigate a strange proliferation of cannibal zombies.
