| Full Review: |
I have not seen parts 4, and 5 and may not want to...But this one certainly derserves a mention. I will definitely review 1 and 2 in due time! You have to give it to part 3 they're certainly trying to do something different to the first two parts and to some degree it succeeds. They try to captivate the story to a level exploring behind the goverments plots/plans to do with frozen incarbonate zombies.. but of course they break out nad it goes hideously wrong! One young lady gets infected, she slowly turns into one...with a sadistic consequences! Shes cutting open her body to become something else all together..thus here definitely ups the knotch of what they could next in further sequels...And there are some truly bloody,gorey moments too but alas not much else though. The story holds togeather enough to make a 3 star but, what lets this down is it's refusal to be either funny or scary. In the first one the mix was just right, the second wasn't a bad sequel but here its neither here nor there. Myself, i think they could of gone for scares and it could of surpassed the second one, but the acting lets it down and literally those 'are' the funny moments in it. If it had some jokes we would of all laughed along knowing its all supposed to be 'schlocky' unfortunately i think this has become like many are now a franchise. You're better off checking out new indie horror's with better ideas... It doesn't try to be hard enoughto be a classic and thats where it falls apart. 'Society' now theres a classic thanks for that Yuzna ;-)
Pros- Zombies, a hot zombie chick, some intereting ideas.
Cons- Probably best to watch the original, neither horror nor comedy, bad acting.
You almsot wouldn't think it was from the same gene pool as the first two, check out Society and Re-Animator for better films from Brian Yuzna as Director/Producer |
