Zombi 3 (Good-Bad 5 stars)

It's sort of funny that Director Lucio Fulci made one of the most amazing contributions to the Italian horror genre (Zombi 2) and then followed it up with one of the most hilariously bad movies ever made (Zombi 3). I am a huge fan of Fulci, and this is the only movie he ever disowned. And yes, it really is that bad.
All aspects of this film are so terrible that where they all converge you find an almost unheard of level of trash. The acting is horrendous first of all. In fact, the acting alone is sometimes enough to illicit a laugh from me. As if that weren't enough, the script itself is actually pretty laughable on its own. Furthermore, the dubbing is pretty sloppy. For those of you acquainted with Fulci already, the gore in this movie is almost nonsensical when compared to the realistic effects in his other movies. There is really no consistency here with the zombies themselves either. Some move incredibly fast; some move very slowly. Some are able to survive in two parts even if their head is severed from the rest of their body (this is an allusion to the most hilarious scene in the movie by the way). Some people who are bitten take days to turn, while others can turn in less than 20 seconds.
Five stars: I recommend this movie to anyone who likes to laugh. Just promise though that if you watch Zombi 3 you'll watch Zombi 2. Fulci really is a great director. I don't know how to excuse him for this disaster. Just take my word for it.


Who knew their would be risks while working on a project named as innocently as 'Death 1' ?
