Reipu zonbi: Lust of the dead 3

Having actually suffered through the fairly horrible 2012 movie "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead" and the even worse 2013 sequel "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 2", I actually don't know why I opted to return to watch this 2013 third movie in the franchise. Perhaps on the notion that writers Yûko Momochi and Naoyuki Tomomatsu might have taken this movie in a whole new direction.

They had not. "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 3" is a continuation of the ludicrous rubbish that started out in the previous two movies. The concept is the same, but by this third movie the material has been milked dry already, and it was quite an ordeal to suffer through the movie, despite the fact that it only ran for 68 minutes.

Granted, when you sit down to watch "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 3", you know you're not in for any award winning storytelling or movie-making. But the concept of exploiting women in various stages of undress has worn thin already in this franchise.

The acting performances in "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 3" were as you would expect. So yeah, you're not in for an evening of Shakespearian theater here. The only performer on the cast list that I was familiar with was Asami. And you know when a performer just have one name to go by, then it is usually a dubious affair. And Asami is by no means a grand actress.

Sure, if you enjoyed the first two movies in this absurd franchise, then you will definitely also enjoy this third movie from director Naoyuki Tomomatsu. I, however, wasn't particularly entertained or impressed with the sheer garbage and sexploitation that "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 3" is.

My rating of "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 3" lands on a two out of ten stars.

The only reason I watched this effort was because same guy produced 'Erotibot", yes it was cheaply made but had some imagination. I guess its not easy have new ideas and make them impressive.

Lust of the dead is flick about sex but somehow sex completely missing. Yes, Japan law prohibit showing private parts but its not my problem. Usual battles plenty, old ideas presented as new, chicks ugly etc. Avoid.

If you wanna impress yourself try 'Garden of torment'.

Who would have thought a movie about horny zombies would spawn four sequels? How in the blue hell does that happen when most great franchises struggle to get to a trilogy.

Once again the army of lustful zombies cause chaos in Japan as they surviving "3D women" barricade themselves away and research a potential cure. Now they have a non-affected man does this mean that there is hope? As you can imagine the concept is wearing thin and though the lore is quite interesting it doesn't seem to be going anywhere and is in fact touching on the biblical (I can confidently say I did not see that coming) Still a tad misandric, not the easiest of viewing but oddly watchable in that embarrassing way this isn't a series to be taken lightly and isn't great but you can do worse if you can stomach it.

Pure unadulterated tripe. The epitome of garbage. The pinnacle of stupidity and bad film making using buzz words to become noticible.

The only place this "movie" should be sold is at a barbecue... so that the buyers can quickly dispose of it in the fire.

This movie is a good example of how to get good entertainment from an idiotic idea and sustain five films that are really medium-length films. The interesting thing is that the premise is held in relation to the basics: showing naked women in grotesque situations. Still it does not suck or scandalize. You can see the effort to put a couple of unexpected surprises. I recommend it? Only for fans of beautiful Japanese willing to do anything.
