Zombie Bloodbath 3: Zombie Armageddon (2000)



I do not know why I even bothered to put in disk 2 of this Zombie Bloodbath DVD. I should have known that after suffering through Zombie Bloodbath and Zombie Bloodbath 2: Rage of the Undead (1995), that there was no way that a decent movie was about to follow. Zombie Bloodbath 3: Zombie Armageddon (2000) truly took the cake.


Plot/ A bunch of zombies that are used by the government to fight in a major war in the near future get launched into space. The space shuttle gets caught in a time warp and returns to Earth in the present day. Naturally, the zombies get loose and terrorize a motley assortment of folks who are trapped inside a high school.


I feel like I am in a time machine, everything I wrote in my last two reviews about this trilogy is the same. This movie is an improvement from the first two flicks on many levels. Unfortunately, some of it also falls way off in comparison. The plot I found hilarious, and actually a decent idea, the gore was about the same and again there was some good character development. However, the dialogue in this film was even worse on this one than the others and the acting and script were about the same. Let me just say I am not easily insulted by language, hell, I spent 20-years in the US Navy and have heard my share of language, yet, I was truly turned off by the amount of unneeded profanity in the film. It was everywhere and definitely unwarranted. In the end, some of it had me rolling and I think there could be a lot worst attempts at the zombie genre. Will I watch it again? No, probably not, but, I am glad I experienced it (even if it was painful).

Zombie Bloodbath 2: Rage of the Undead (1995)



I am a glutton for punishment! After suffering through Zombie Bloodbath the other day, I decided to continue with the trilogy with Zombie Bloodbath 2: Rage of the Undead (1995)!


Plot / An evil demonic scarecrow resurrects the dead as ravenous cannibalistic zombies who feast on the living. A motley assortment of folks who include a bunch of bickering college kids, a trio of dangerous escaped convicts, an equally lethal pair of savage hoodlums, and three sisters do their best to stay alive and survive this harrowing ordeal.


Like I said in my review for Zombie Bloodbath, the movie was entertaining but BAD! This sequel, while an improvement in some areas, is still bad. Yes, there was a bit more plot, some extremely gory moments and the characters developed a little more, but that did not do much for the sum of the whole. It definitely could not overcome the terrible acting and the amateurish script and dialogue that plagued the entire movie. So, Part 1 was horrid, Part 2 was better but still bad, I wonder what Part 3 has in store for me tomorrow (probably much of the same)!

Zombie Bloodbath (1993)





After spending some time with the classics, I figured it was time to finally watch part of the Zombie Bloodbath Trilogy that stumbled upon the other day. This low-budget, early 1990s zombie (Zombie Bloodbath Part 1) flick by Todd Sheets seems perfect for the evening!


Plot / A meltdown at a nuclear power plant turns a bunch of folks into lethal shambling flesh-eating zombies who go on a gory rampage.


When I picked this up, I had no expectations. Being a life-long horror fan and lover of the zombie genre, I know that since I had never heard of it, there was not much to expect. Nevertheless, I will say that I totally enjoyed this flick. Yes, it is terrible! Yes, beyond "B" Movie terrible! There is no plot, no character development, no editing, a sub par script, horrid acting and it made little sense. However, while repetitive, the gore was awesome and that dudes mullet rocked! I must say that it has been forever since I laughed all the way through a horror movie; it was THAT bad, bad enough to make the 70-minute run-time seem perfect. With all that said, unless you are a zombie fanatic (and even then) you may want to pass of this movie (although some of it does still make me laugh just thinking about it)!
