Summary: borish
Review: This film is boring and plain terrible! I LOVE b movies but this one has NOTHING going for it! the gore and effects are wimpy and NOT on par with the other things Lucio Fulci has done! I am a HUGE Lucio Fulci fan but this one stinks! not only is the acting horrible, the film lacks good characters and good zombies! if its a zombie flick shouldnt the zombies be cool looking? not here! very lackluster film!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Crap.
Review: This is one of the worst movies ever made - and I usually love zombie movies.

Acting - terrible. Script - even more terrible. Effects - horrid.

Lots of scenes with 'fog' on the ground, and you can even see the guy on the set, holding a smoke machine behind a building, creating the fog.

Awful! Spend your money elsewhere.

Summary: 3 1/2 starz!!!bad rapp just because FULCI didn't finish it!!
Review: this movie doesn't deserve the bashing reviews that its getting on this review page!!!! i mean this movie is not for people that are looking for a serious scary movie but if your a zombie fan u know what your getting into!!! NO! this is not george a romero's "night" "dawn" or "day" of the dead! & NO! this is not in the same league as fulci's "zombi 2" BUT!!! there are not alot of zombie flickz out there that are as great as the title's i just named. "ZOMBI 3" is very stupid but very very fun! & like i said if u have come far enough into the zombie genre to stumble across "ZOMBI 3" then you should know what your getting into!!!look zombie fanz if u liked "BURIAL GROUND" "NIGHTMARE CITY" "BLACK DEMONS" & "JUNK" u will or atleast should have some fun with "ZOMBI 3". hardcore fulci fanz like myself should enjoy this simply because of the fact that there is a little hint or 2 of fulci's touch in this film & its also a little fun to own a lucio fuli film that he himself disowned!! i still love it though!! this zombie flick is no worse than any other B or C rated zombie flick out there. bad rapp just because FULCI didn't finish it himself!!!!! thats stupid!!!! LATER ON FELLOW HORROR FANZ!!! & E!!!N!!!J!!!O!!!Y!!!

Summary: The Poorest Excuse For a Zombie Movie, Or Movie, Ever.
Review: This movie is rediculous. I get tired just thinking about the actual amount of energy it would take to fully convey how poor this waste of film really is.

Sigh... where do I start....

How about the audio? The dubbing is pathetic. The voice over actors are comical, melodramatic characatures of the actors on film. It's actually pretty funny.

I'm no Zombie movie fanatic, but for some reason I've been renting them lately. I liked Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead and kind of liked Dawn of the Dead, although it's pretty silly.

But this one is a joke. First of all, why does the look of the film change during the gory parts? It's almost like these scenes were shot using 8mm film. Weird. It's frustrating and stupid. Haha, and the music played during the gore scenes (fast-paced El Debarge or some other 80s spares) just makes them silly.

Silly is a good word for this film. But it's not even a fun silly. Just silly.

I like how the Zombies' faces are decomposed all to hell but their legs and feet are mysteriously pristeen.

Ok, I'm tired. This film isn't even worth talking about anymore. Don't waste your money.

Summary: One of the best of the bad
Review: Well you wouldnt find much of a thought provokeing plot in Zombi 3, but this moive is so unintenionaly funny it's well worth adding to any horror collection. Theres some good SFX technecly but the Zombies themself are so great! They run! They jump! They even weild hatchets!!! Those Euro Zombi's could realy beat out the useual slow,thoughtless brain-eaters we see.And the score sounds so much like the old NES Final Fantasy battle music it's scary. Watch this one with friends in need of a good laugh!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: What if Troma remade Return of the Living Dead...
Review: What if Troma remade "The Return of the Living Dead"? Well, here's the answer. Zombi 3. The only difference being that I don't think this was intentionally made to be so bad. It still works as an all-out, goof-ball, p.o.s. zombie flick that's so bad it's funny. Just don't go in expecting "Day of the Dead" ... Watch for the "main" scientist's spasticated body movements used to accentuate his nonexistent acting skills and the soldier's inability to react at people shooting at them. These I found particularly funny.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Buy it ONLY for the supplementary materials
Review: Where to begin describing this execrable film? Originally proposed as a big-budget 3-D feature, it degenerated into this final product.

Fulci was ill during the making of the film and Mattei and Fragasso stepped in to assist and complete it. The result is a terrible mess, similar to Mattei's brutally inept "Hell of the Living Dead". Reports vary regarding how much of the final product was Fulci's. I was able to identify only two scenes that looked like classic Fulci: a brief shot of backlit zombies standing around a bus (composition and lighting similar to "City of the Living Dead", and a female protagonist-become-zombie (make-up similar to Fulci's "Zombie", aka "Zombie 2"). The remainder is a wretched piece of dreck lensed with a cheesy 80s vaseline-soft-focus look and the worst zombie make-up this side of your local drugstore.

The interviews, however, are worth the price of a rental: Fragasso and Mattei describe the scattergun way the movie ended up being assembled. Most interesting were the comments of the two stuntmen/actors in the last interview segment, who state that Fulci was so ill, he would describe the shots he wanted to them and let them set them up. This explains much! Unless you enjoy trying to figure out who-filmed-what, you will beg for 96 minutes of your life back after seeing the film itself.

Sime final thoughts regarding the particulars of the disk: Despite anamorphic enhancement, the disk is peculiarly grainy (like much of Media Blasters' output, I'm afraid). Some of the more graphic gore scenes have additional grain and washed-out colors with fuzzy edges, making me very suspicious that they came from a different video master (similar to Germany's ASTRO DVD, which often reinserts scenes from uncut Dutch VHS tapes into their heavily censored masters).

Bonus: the DVD makes a dandy coaster--or (after 45 seconds in a microwave) a lovely Christmas tree ornament.

Summary: This is a movie must for B-movie watchers!
Review: Wow. I cannot seem to put into words what this movie is about. It's crazy. Even thinking about it makes me laugh. Here are just a few things you might find in this movie. There is a flying zombie head that flies out of a fridge. There is a man who plays a zombie, and when he steps out of a pond of water, his calves are bare, with no make-up on them. (Ooops, guess the masses missed that.) There are zombie birds. There is a zombie DJ. Etc...ect...And the menu to the DVD, has this horrible, yet awesome, 80's horror music. If that doesn't frighten you alone, there is something wrong with you. And this movie has multiple loop holes in the plot. For instance, the main characters find all these guns and stuff in an abondoned hotel, and the guy says "We're gonna need these." But yet, they don't know that there are zombies out. Just little things like that. But its those very things that make this movie so fun to watch with friends. But this movie is seriously crazy. The original director filmed something like 10 minutes of it, decided it was crap, and left. But if you like crazy B-movies with zombies, go for it dude.
Things I Learned From Zombi 3: Just because you decapitate a zombie, does not mean that it is dead and will not hurt you. Also, you do not need to put a zombie head into the fridge, because it does not need to be kept cold.
Caution! DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE ALONE. YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF CONFUSED AND HAVE URGES SUCH AS TO SEDATE YOURSELF.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: completely inane, but not without credit
Review: Yes. This movie [is bad]. But if you look beyond that you see that it's at least a decent effort. The special effects are horrid and the zombies have to be infected with bipolar disorder along with that toxic disease. Some run and some shamble, I guess it depends on what sort of mood your undead cadaver happens to be in. The soundtrack is pretty cool, and it's not every day that you see a flying zombie head (great scene... horribly made... but still great).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WASTE OF FILM
Review: Zombi 3-I couldn't wait to see this...and than I saw it. AWFUL-what a disgrace to have Fulcis' name associated with this joke of a film. Maybe if I dropped a tab of acid before hand, it would be OK. I couldn't wait to buy, now I can't wait to auction it off. See Zombie instead.
