cheep yes! but for a reason

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 October 1, 2008

A very easy way to get em all but one....

in following to lucio fulci's zombi 2 this box set finishes off the Zombi series. Zombie 3 and 4 are very good and worthy of the first one (zombi 2, since zombi is just the european dawn of the dead... so theres no zombi 1 in actuallity). but zombie 5: killer birds is horrible and unnervingly slow. i still sat through the whole movie since i am dedicated to horror. but if i wasnt i would have avoided it. but hell they all cant be winners. with zombie 3 and 4 you are getting your moneys worth. my greatest applause to shriek show.

A great price, but sadly not much else...

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. October 4, 2007

zombie 5 is the only bad one

this pack contains three movies from the zombie series but it shoud've had zombie 6 instead of 5

zombi 3 is like a collab of Fulci, Mattei, and Fragasso but Fulci left during half the movie they obviously reuse zombie extras and the commentary is very strange (2 actors said that a cast member was actually shot at!)

zombie 4 has a lot look-alike actors in it and a barely there plot theres a lot of zombie shooting and stupidity that makes this really fun

joe d amato made zombie 5 and it has less of a plot then zombie 4 theres nothing here to like joe did a better job with zombie 6
