i be an avid fan of lucio fulci and and yet i must say that zombi 3 ( aka . zombie flesh eater 2 ) of 1988 and which he make with two other director and bruno mattei and claudi fragasso and be quite a disappointment . especially compare to it great predecessor and fulci very own gore classic zombi 2 ( aka . zombie felsh eater or zombie ) of 1979 and this be vastly disappointing . sure and the low rating of 4 . 5 already suggest that it not a good film and but and these low rating usually come from people who be not into italian zombie flick and and a enthusiastic fan of italian horror film and low budget exploitation cinema and i love many film that have only be reward with much low rating . also and many of my fellow italian horror buff seem to think of this film a underrated and which i sadly can not agree with . not that the film be a complete disaster . it have some redeeming quality and above all fulci nauseate gore effect and that be always a pleasure to watch for an italian horror or gore buff . the basic idea behind the film be also not bad ( allthough far from original ) and i like the ruthless portrayal of the military . sadly and that about it . while the great predecessor zombi 2 be extremely gory and but beyond that also genuinely creepy and this be not creepy or scary for a minute and and the nauseating and often grotesque gore be the only true reason to watch zombi 3. the film be sometimes fun to watch and but only for the gore and and a an unintentional comedy . i guess that it be mainly the gore that come from fulci and and the disappointing rest that come from mattei and fragasso and the first of which be involve in a bunch of nasty cult flick ( such a damato porno holocaust ) and and the second of which be responsible for one of the bad movie ever make and the god awful troll 2. overall and this be definitely watchable for the gore and but and out of all fulci film i have see so far and this be definitely the bad and and i have see the majority of this great filmmaker repertoire . i be a fulci fan and and i always will be and but this sure isn not his magic moment . it may be fun for the gore and but i recommend to watch any other fulci film before this .
