I was quite distrustful before I watched "Zombi 3" for the first time, because of all the bad things I´ve heard about it. However, the result is completely different: the film is nothing else but a total rip-off from George A. Romero´s classic "The Crazies" as well as Umberto Lenzi´s hilarious trashfest "Nightmare City" - even the toxic polluted mutants look exactly the same they did in Lenzi´s film before! Nevertheless "Zombi 3" can be quite enjoyable: it´s a fast-paced, suspense-packed film with tons of gore like exploding heads, blood´n guts and as a climax a flying zombie head which is the biggest laugh riot I´ve ever seen in a horror film! The acting is poor, even compared to the normal Italian standard it lacks, but the radio DJ is over the top! Fulci did well when he quit the project for not having a second class rip-off in his filmography! However, "Zombi 3" is exactly the right stuff for rainy Sundays or when you´ve already seen all other horror classics from your local video store - then give it a fair chance! 6 out of 10
