Zombie Flesh Eaters is streaming uncut in 4K, a significant shift from its past as a banned video nasty in the UK. Originally conceived as a sequel to Dario Argento's Zombi, which was a recut of Dawn of the Dead, Zombie Flesh Eaters faced censorship due to the campaign against video nasties in the early 1980s. Police raids targeted video shops, resulting in 39 prosecutions under the Obscene Publications Act. The film’s availability for legal viewing in recent decades represents a changing attitude towards censorship and horror films.
