Michael Ledo An experimental drug/virus gets loose in the Philippines (?) as people and birds become infecting flesh eaters. There are various subplots involving tourists and the military. The feature has some camp value to it. The initial gun fight sequence was poorly done and comical as people fire at each other at close range and some people with guns seem to be standing around. The bird attack was funny. The zombie makeup only covered the head and hands. The feet and legs were unaffected. The zombies are sometimes foot draggers, other times they can box and fight. Head shots are not required to kill them. And oh yes some talk and think. Just a bad script.Not worth viewing, even for zombie fans...unless you can't get enough of an 80's action sound track.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Leofwine_draca If you've ever wanted to see a really, really awful zombie film, then this is the one for you. This is the film which makes ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS look like a technical masterpiece. A film which swipes liberally from George Romero's dead trilogy, THE BIRDS, and even RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. A film totally irredeemable except for one small thing - it's funny. Yes, hilariously funny. In fact I would have to say this is the funniest zombie film I've ever seen. But first things first. For the most part this is total rubbish. The cast are of the uninteresting, bland teenage-types who populated the likes of DEMONS 2. There's a trio of amusing soldiers, one of whom is the spitting image of John Steiner. The dubbing is appalling, and the usual pieces of choice dialogue to enjoy ("I'm feeling thirsty... FOR YOUR BLOOD!"). The only character I did find amusing was the scientist, dubbed by somebody with a stutter! It's pretty funny. The film is poorly made - don't be fooled into thinking Lucio Fulci directed it, as he did only the first 15 minutes before being forced to retire through ill health. Claudio Fragasso took over, filling the film with his confusing editing, poorly-framed shots, and general lack of technical ability. This also has to be one of the most grainy, dark films I've seen - a lot of the zombie attacks take place at night.For most of the time, we get to see pointless things happen. For instance, a group of survivors spend half an hour building a barricade which the zombies knock down in two seconds. Why? The zombie attacks, when they do come, usually consist of an over-excited person being jumped on by a horde of them, hilarious instead of frightening. Some people even partake in a little hand-to-hand combat with the zombies, not realistic but very amusing. The makeup is insipid and uninspired, worse than in any other zombie film I've seen. The gore is quite disgusting but exceptionally cheesy, and when it comes it's laughable - view the bit where a man rescues a girl from a pool, only to find her missing her legs! Most chucklesome. Or what about the rubbish bit where a zombie hand bursts out of a pregnant woman's stomach - trust me, it's not as disgusting as it sounds, just silly.BUT...some bits turn out to be classic, not because they're good, but because they're so awful. In one scene a zombie head flies out of a fridge (!) to bite an unfortunate soul, this had me choking on my own tongue. The description just doesn't do it justice. These particular zombies seem to have little co-ordination, and on top of this none of them behave the same. Some like to hide in bushes and jump out on people. Some like to climb pillars and jump on people from there. One particularly enterprising zombie-guy appears to have been trained in the art of ninja, jumping about in a frenzy and slashing his machete everywhere in a scene which will have you wetting yourself due to the fact it happens so quickly. The ending tries to be shocking, but it's just plain dumb. A DJ who has been adding out-of-place comments throughout the film turns out to be a zombie. ZOMBIES CAN TALK?! What is this? Apart from the above unintentional humour, this is a film for sadists only. But if you're drunk and want a good laugh, then it might just be worthwhile. Just don't expect anything good. It's sheer awfulness all the way...

Uriah43 A scientific research lab has just produced a deadly formula which is stolen by a terrorist group. But before the terrorists can get too far they are all killed except one. He is wounded in the attempt and is accidentally infected. Although he manages to escape to a nearby hotel, he is eventually caught by the army and his body is burned in the mistaken belief that this will kill the virus within him. Unfortunately, the ashes infect a flock of birds who then attack a tour bus carrying seven or eight passengers. Meanwhile three soldiers in a jeep who were following the tour bus manage to evacuate the passengers, but one woman in particular has been bitten and needs medical help. So the soldiers take the passengers to an abandoned hotel and in the meantime an epidemic has begun which causes chaos and destruction all around. Now, although the title of the movie is "Zombie 3" there really isn't a "Zombie 1". Unless of course you consider the first film, "Zombie 2" as "Zombie 1" that is. If that makes sense. But in any case "Zombie 3" isn't really a sequel anyway. Anyway, having clarified that let me add that this is a zombie film that relies heavily on smoke, action, gore and pyrotechnics first and foremost. Likewise, the music complements the action quite well too. However, the acting, character development and script are all secondary and as a result this movie suffers accordingly. So, if you're looking for a good action-packed zombie film then this one might be what you're looking for. Otherwise you'll just have to make allowances.

Bezenby A day without Massimo Vanni is like a day without sunshine! Here, my manny Vanni is trudging around an especially brain-damaged landscape full of zombies caused by some terrorist moron dropping some sort of germ warfare type thing, causing him to turn anthropophagus on the populace, who in turn yadda yadda you know the drill. What you might not know (but probably do or else you wouldn't be looking up this film) is that two titans of Italian gore were involved in this – Bruno Mattei and Lucio Fulci. Depending on what's true and that, as it's Italian films we're talking about, either Fulci directed most of it or Mattei did, and it's hard to tell, because the film is as stupid as a Mattei film and a daft as his Zombie Creeping Flesh, but visually it very much looks like a Fulci film and makes about as much sense as anything he made in the late eighties, so who knows? When the director of Strike Commando and Shocking Dark tries to tidy up the mess left by the director of Sweet House of Horrors and Cat in the Brain, how good could the results be?Well, it was written by Claudio Fragasso, so it'll would have probably have ended up the way it was even if Spielberg had directed. That's to say: Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 is awful. Also: It's gusset rippingly great!The guy who played stinky pinky with some germs causes a whole hotel to be raided by hazmat suit wearing, gun toting army dudes. Massimo Vanni and his mates, out to get some hot chick action, end up helping out a bus full of girls and a couple of guys who were attacked by zombie birds (yes indeed), and they all end up at a hotel which may or may not be the same hotel from earlier in the movie, plus they also find a stash of machine guns for no reason. Beatrice Ring is also on her way there with her brother who got chomped on the neck, and Mike Monty and one of the worst actors in history (and that's no hyperbole) try to figure out how to get an antidote to the germ. It time for everyone to get it on! Which is Italian movie speak for "Get graphically eaten by zombies".Be warned: If you happen to stumble upon this film with a set of 'zombie film rules' in your head then you're going be picking your brains from the floor. These are non-conformist zombies who do what they want, when they please! Talking? Well, some do. Running? Kung fu? Hiding in cupboards? Hiding underneath pregnant women so they can burst through them? How about a zombie head in a fridge? How about a zombie head in a fridge that can fly? Man, I'm getting dizzy just thinking about this film. Zombie DJ? Stop film, it's too much!By the way, Massimo Vanni dies about twenty minutes into the film. He dies in every single film I've seen him in, barring Inglorious Bastards (1977), so that ain't a spoiler there. Zombie Flesh Eaters Two isn't quite as insane as Zombie Creeping Flesh, but it sure is unrelentingly stupid and entertaining! They really don't make films like this anymore!
