Movie Reviews of The Zombie Pack
Movie Review: A great price, but sadly not much else...
Summary: 2 Stars
Being a fan of such low budget classics like Zombie 2, Burial Ground, and Zombie Holocaust, I jumped at the chance to buy this three pack of Italian zombie films. I do feel that this set is a great value for the sheer amount of content it includes. However, after watching the full set it became apparent as to why these films were sold in a collection this way: No one would ever buy them otherwise! These flicks are not the "so bad their good" type, they are the "so bad...they're bad!" type. Anyway I'll examine them in a bit more detail.
Zombie 3: Created by Lucio Fulci (in part), this is the best disc of the set. Bruno Mattei stepped in for Lucio halfway through the filming of the flick, and the feel of it is VERY Bruno, not so much Lucio. The plot follows the unleashing of a chemical that can turn people into zombies. As you can guess the epidemic spreads and zombie mayhem ensues amongst a group of military recruits. The movie is pretty standard for its kind, bad acting, bad dubbing, abundant gore. But in the end Zombie 3 does not touch the incredible Zombie 2 and makes for a pretty mundane watch. I barely recommend it, and it only gets worse from here.
Zombie 4: As other reviewers mentioned this is NOT part of the Zombie franchise. The film is entitled After Death and the "Zombie" was just tacked on to lump it in with the Fulci movies. Truthfully I have nothing to say about this movie. It's the same thing as Zombie 3, only the zombies are brought about by a voodoo curse, and it's even more poorly executed. I don't recommend this movie, and the next one gets even worse.
Zombie 5: Also not part of the Fulci series, the film is called Killing Birds and it's the crown turd of the set. This film actually has nothing to do about killing birds as they only appear once or twice, but somehow it manages to incorporate the living dead into the plot...Ugh...I don't even want to talk about it any more. This movie was among the worst I've ever seen. There was NO reason to release this on DVD. Killing birds should be buried in some random storage vault in Italy and collect dust with other atrocious films of its kind, which I'm willing to bet is where it actually was before the incarnation of this set.
So there you have it. This set is a great buy, but even a horror connisseur would have to admit this is pretty lame stuff. However I do recommend Volume 2 which includes the amazing Zombie Holocaust and Burial Ground. Otherwise these discs make good coasters or frisbees. Stick it in the microwave and watch the pretty colors.
Movie Review: The Price is Right... the Movies? Terrible!
Summary: 2 Stars
Now I love zombie movies and Zombie and Zombie 2 (which believe it or not are the same movie) were good but 3, 4, and 5 are terrible! Bad dubbing and terrible script! If these are sequels, how come they don't follow what happened in the first movie? There's so many plot holes as well, especially in Zombie 3 and 4 and for some reason the "heroes" in the movies keep finding random stashes of M16A1 assault rifles in the oddest places such as hotels and hospitals. Nothing makes sense in 3, 4, and 5. I reccomend not buying this, I mean the price is good but the movies are terrible... I heard some of the dumbest quotes ever taken from a movie in some of these films... for example from Zombie 3; "Man this Blue Heart (local DJ) has some great music!" - Soldier 1 "Yeah! This music is making me horny!" - Soldier 2 Wow... Great script writing there!Movie Review: ok for the price, but i wish i would have never bought it
Summary: 2 Stars
maybe i just don't like horror movies not made in the united states, i did like dead alive, undead and some of foreign horror films i've seen, but this movie pack even for 5 bucks a movie is just not worth the time, the movies were ok but i really did not enjoy watching any of them, hopefully the second zombie pack i got will be better, for this one failed to entertain me hardly at all, just not enough bite for Review: cheep yes! but for a reasonSummary: 1 Stars now i know people are going to look at the fact that your getting 3 movies for the price of one and that they are some what hard to find titles and think wow this is a deal if your just padding your collection suer go ahead get it but if you want good movies keep looking the movie packed in here are in no way good 3 is alright its some what watchable but 4 & 5 are not worth the dvds they are on im not going to go on about the fact that 5 came out before 3 or what ever im just going to tell you the truth the movies are bad so if your a completest like me and want every movie what zombi in the name get other then that i can't recommend this for any one
