Zombie 3

Aka Zombi 3

Bruno Mattei, Luco Fulci

1987

Difficult film to get hold of , this one, but for me it was worth it. Most reviews i've read about this one have said it was rubbish but I disagree, I admit that I love zombie films in general but I wont just watch any crap .(see Zombie Lake review for an example) For me, this is a very enjoyable film with some excellent gore scenes and is superior to the very similar 1981 film Zombie Creeping Flesh.

Originally the work of Lucio Fulci who fell ill at an early stage, Bruno Mattei took over and the film feels more like his work.

Once again zombies are running rampant, killing everyone in sight, the reason this time is a biological experiment which gets released when someone attemps to steal it and gets contaminated, after that it gets spread over a large area when the military stupidly burn the bodys of the infected people causing acid rain and infected birds, eventually the army goes ballistic and decides to wipe out every living thing in the infected area, the main story involves a small group of soldiers and others they meet trying to survive attacks by the ferocious zombies and the military hell bent on wiping them out.

Gore

Excellent scene early on when the contaminated man trys to save himself by chopping his hand off with one swipe in a jet of blood.

The attack of the zombie birds has to be seen to be believed.

Some great throat rippings although the skin does seem a bit rubbery ( You mean it,s not realistic? who cares, it's a good laugh)

You wont believe the zombie birth which turns very nasty with the onlookers getting chomped.
