Summary: Do you want an action movie or a horror movie?
Comment: If you're looking for a zombie movie, this is NOT it. This movie lacked zombies in the actual sense of zombies. All it did was portray morons jumping around fighting zombies with guns, the zombies (when rarely shown) hardly even bite, they FIGHT! Can you believe that?! I mean, zombies are supposed to take a chunk out of your head and eat your organs and stuff, not fight you with their fists and use weapons in gang attack. This movie was really slow moving, had a VERY poor script, and contained terrible acting. Skip this one when looking for REAL zombies.

Summary: A Fantastic Piece of Crap
Comment: If you enjoy horror films that are real pieces of crap, then this is right up your alley. Cheesy effects, music, acting, and dialogue are all present with this shrink rapped turd. Don't waste 20+ dollars, it's included in a zombie pack from Shriek Show...also you can usually find a used copy rather cheap. The music makes the troops horny, they push some zombies down and evade crappy dialogue vomited from the mouths of the lively zombies. It's crap, it's fun, and if you like garbage along the lines of Neon Maniacs or Nightmare City then get this rediculous piece of crap.

Summary: Bad movie? Sure, but a lot of fun.
Comment: In many ways Zombie 3 can be seen as the end of an era; around this time the tide was starting to turn against horror and Italian horror cinema was reaching the end of the high point of its popularity.
Zombie 3 is also one of the last movies by Lucio Fulci that gained a large cult following, while Fulci would go and make 7 more movies, some of which have gained a following I would say Zombie 3 is the more well known among Fulci fans.
Zombie 3 is probably one of Lucio Fulci's lesser efforts; even in some of his weaker films, Lucio Fulci was able to build some tension and atmosphere and sometimes make a movie creepier than it should have been, where as other times he was able to do that, but unable to sustain it.
This time around there really isn't anything Fulci about the movie; apparently at the time he was sick and I think that shows. Honestly there is nothing Fulci about this movie at all. Lucio Fulci had a certain style. When you watch a Fulci movie good or bad you know its Fulci. Even though about half the movie was shot by Bruno Mattei, the scenes that were done by Fulci bare no resemblance to his past work. The visual style Fulci was so known for isn't seen at all here.
Claudio Fragasso wrote the script along with his wife Rossella Drudi who was un-credited. According to Fragasso, Fulci was dumping pages he said were too complex too shoot. Based on some other interviews with Fragasso he normally has an excuse on why his movies come out so poor.
True or not the script is obviously weak so it really doesn't matter if what Claudio Fragasso is true or not.
The funny thing is Fragasso and Rossella Drudi actually have a hint of a plot a clichéd one, but a plot nonetheless, the movie also attempts some social commentary, but the movie is so poorly written all this is lost and it comes out really silly.
After the movie was shot it ran at 70-min and was said to be too slow. The movie was chopped down to 50-min and Fulci refused to do any reshoots.
So in comes in Bruno Mattei who finished the movie along with Claudio Fragasso. Quite honestly this is probably Mattei's best work, which really isn't saying much. Make no mistake Zombie 3 is a bad movie, but that is why I love it.
The characters are idiots who say the dumbest things, but yet I loved every second of the movie. As for the zombies they range from slow moving to rather fast. Some zombies have a few lines and others are silent.
The highlight for me was the zombie with the machete I found that scene hysterical. We also have a very funny scene with a flying zombie head, now that was classic. And we even have zombie birds. I love how different the zombies are. As I said one minute they are really slow and weak the next fast and strong. Neither Fulci nor Mattei stuck to anything with the zombies.
The gore is fairly decent; it's not the gorefest like some of Fulci's prior work, but Zombie 3 has some decent gore, but could have used a bit more. But gore-hounds should be pleased.
Zombie 3 very much is the so bad its good movie. It's idiotic and poorly done, but a blast to watch. Though I will say if you are new to Lucio Fulci I would recommend working your way up to Zombie 3. In my opinion this movie doesn't show Lucio Fulci is about. While yes his movies do have their flaws, but he's a much better director than what he shows here.
For those interested in buying this movie I would recommend getting the Zombie Pack. The set includes Zombie 3, Zombie 4: After Death & Zombie 5: Killing Birds. The set is cheaper than any of the movies solo.
The information here on Amazon is wrong, Zombie 3 is Un-rated and not R-Rated, also the aspect ratio is actually 1.85:1 and not 1.33:1.
