Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Right, well first of all this is an Italian produced zombie movie from 1988, so let's just keep calm shall we? So this is, as to be expected, of course a Lucio Fulci movie."Zombie 3" (aka "Zombi 3") is hardly an outstanding or memorable movie in the zombie genre, and it pretty much sums up everything that is Italian in the zombie genre at that time of date.There is, of course, a very placid and generic storyline. I will say that the story was still enjoyable enough in all of its simplicity, just don't expect to be intellectually challenged by what you watch on the screen. Everything is predictable and you see (and smell) it coming a mile away.The acting in the movie was adequate at best. Don't get your hopes up here, of course. First of all, the movie was shot in The Philippines, and they had a lot of Filipino extras, most of which I doubt were highly-trained actors and actresses. But as for the lead performers, well they were doing adequately enough.The zombie make-up, now that was questionable at best. Well, at least they tried and they did remember to apply make-up and paints to the hands and feet too, whereas many low budget zombie movies, even today, forget to do that after applying it to the face. But even with that feat, then the zombie make-up was bad, and so painfully obviously bad prosthetics.As a zombie afficianado, of course I devour - pardon the pun - every single zombie movie I can find. "Zombie 3" is not an outstanding addition to the genre, nor is it a movie that you will watch more than once.

focus1753 Zombi 3 has absolutely nothing in common with the Zombi 2 (Or Zombie Flesh Eaters in the UK) which was a slow burning masterwork of suspense, mystery and zombie horror which is what made it so good. Zombi 3 takes a different approach, seemingly aspiring to be more of a zombie action film and in the process losing everything that made the original a classic. What makes this film so poor can be broken down into several areas.Acting: The acting in Zombi 2 while not Oscar worthy was better than expected from a low budget Italian horror film and helped add to the film's creepy atmosphere and likability. However, the acting in Zombi 3 is nothing short of painful. The intonation of the actors is often bizarre and unbelievable and brings the realism and horror of the film down drastically. The actor for the doctor is particularly poor causing me to wince every time his character had dialogue. Overall, the acting basically devalues the film massively.Direction and cinematography: One of the most appealing aspects of Zombi 2 was that it featured some amazing shots of the Island that were framed beautifully, especially for a low budget film, and served to improve the film's production value drastically. Camera movement and angles were also carefully planned to create maximum impact. Zombi 3 has lost this entirely with the direction being uninspired and unimaginative. There are also no stand out shots like the film's predecessor.Diversion from the original: This film is not linked to the original in any way except for the title and the appearance of zombies.This is a massive error considering how successful the original film was and leads to some bizarre new ideas in this film that do not work at all. For example, changing the cause from voodooism to an epidemic seems pointless and random, having zombies that move quickly and run is even more bizarre and nonsensical and worst of all a scene featuring a flying severed zombie head is just simply kitschy and awful.Overall: Shoddy acting, boring direction and strange deviations from the original formula make for a truly inferior sequel to a really high quality horror classic.

Scott LeBrun A follow-up rather than a sequel to "Zombi 2", this film was begun by "Zombi 2" director Lucio Fulci, who had to leave the production due to a stroke. Second unit director Bruno Mattei and screenwriter Claudio Fragasso were then asked to step in and finish what he'd started. They cut his approximately 70 minutes of film down to about 50 or so and then added about 40 minutes of their own. Once again, apocalyptic events abound, due to the actions of a terrorist, who'd tried to abscond with a biological weapon. He gets infected, and when his body is later cremated, it allows the virus to spread and infect other innocent people, who die and return to life as crazed, ugly killers. A group of uninfected survivors struggle to make it to safety.As you can see, this is a rather routine plot, but the directors do what they can to at least make it entertaining. One good thing is that the gore is lots of fun; few people can do splatter and zombie makeup as well as the Italians. The movie begins its life as being agreeably cheesy and comical, to alter its tone somewhat in its second half and become more atmospheric. What's interesting to note is that at one point we actually hear a zombie talk, a zombie with whom one of the main characters is all too familiar. A hilarious and memorable highlight is seeing a severed zombie head fly out of a refrigerator and attack someone. Horror fans will roar with laughter when they see this. This would seem to indicate that the movie is never meant to be taken too seriously.One thing that really makes "Zombi 3" entertaining is the utter absurdity of the performances, especially Robert Marius as Dr. Holder. His delivery is just riotous. Adding some flavour is the presence of a DJ character somewhat like Super Soul in "Vanishing Point": Blueheart, a really cool cat. Deran Sarafian, who just so happens to be the son of director Richard Sarafian, who did "Vanishing Point", stars as good guy soldier Ken, and he'd go on to direct Hollywood action pictures such as "Death Warrant" and "Terminal Velocity". Lovely lady Beatrice Ring co-stars as the determined Patricia who keeps moving and doesn't let a limp stop her. It's also great to see Ottaviano Dell'Acqua, the worm eye guy from "Zombi 2" and the lead in "Rats: Night of Terror", as another of the soldiers.Ultimately, "Zombi 3" isn't destined to become iconic like its predecessor did, but it's perfectly acceptable entertainment while it lasts.Seven out of 10.

The-Green-Fuz I just picked up the Zombie Pack from Shriek Show a couple days ago and watched Zombi 3 (1988) for the first time. I'll admit I'm reasonably easy to impress with a zombie flick because as long as there is some carnage and fun to be had, I'm happy with it. With that said however, this one went beyond just a simple curiosity and might have earned a spot among my favourite zombie flicks.This is the one that was started by Fulci until he dropped out of its production before its completion due to health and possibly creative reasons. I'm sure it could have been much better with him around, but it is still a very fun outing. It has all sorts of different types of zombies in it and some really crazy things go down. A couple highlights (out of many!) for me would be the scene in the garage where the girl gets chased by the super fast, machete wielding zombie. I also loved the infamous floating head scene. This film is just full of unbelievable *beep* that could only have ever been put to film in an old Italian outing.Yes it's cheesy, yes it's dumb, yes it's insane, yes it doesn't always make sense, but damn is it ever entertaining. Sorry for overhyping it for those who haven't seen it as it definitely requires a special type of viewer to enjoy it, but I would recommend it to any seasoned zombie aficionado who is looking for some more obscure oddball outings.
