Rating (out of 5):

     I hate when I come across a series of films I had never seen before and when I toss them in I find myself not liking them.  I can't stand starting a series of films and not finishing them.  When I sit down with one I have to watch them all.  Sadly, when I tossed in Lust of the Dead I wasn't expecting to come across a series of films that was almost unwatchable.  The first two films in the series was a rough watch and the third and final film on the blu was standing in my way to freedom.  I really wanted to like this series but I had extremely low expectations for the third film.

     The film, once again, follows a group of female survivors who have barricaded themselves inside of a compound while the rest of the city is under siege by men infected with a virus that turns them into raping and flesh eating fiends.  While trying to find a cure they accidentally bring in a man that showed no signs of infection.  Later he turns and starts raping his wife and compromises the compound from the inside while the horde of zombies and uninfected men who think they are superior to women try to get in.

     I was ready to turn my television off before I tossed in the third film.  I was absolutely miserable before I tossed this one in and this one did not help matters any.  This one, like the previous film, takes the same exact story and gives it right back to the viewer with very little changes.  The acting in this one is, as you already guessed, very weak and not that entertaining.  The cast does come to life during the nude scenes but aside from that they sizzle and fade out.  I assume that the cast was getting paid in peanuts because no one is putting forth any real effort.  The story for this one is also lacking.  The movie takes the story from the first two films and just moves it a little further.  Doesn't really give the viewer something new.  It may be enjoyable if you put time in between each viewing but if you binged these like I did you will be very disappointed.  I hate seeing a series of films recycle the same story instead of building upon it.  Finally, this one follows the first two in delivering some decent practical effects along with some below par make-up effects.  The effects team is not very consistent. The same can be said for the visual effects.  Some are pretty decent but others just feel rushed so the film can be finished.  Overall, Lust of the Dead 3 is another major miss in a series that could be highly entertaining.  The third entry has no energy and creativity which creates another difficult film to sit through.  Skip it.
