Review: this is the worst movie ever!!! it looks like it was filmed on someones motocross track. the acting.....what a sec, this isnt acting...this is a joke. i think they did the dubbing in someones bathroom with the lights out. i cant believe this was burned to a disc. im so glad i got it used. i pitched in the trash cause no one i know(or dont for that matter) should see this. folks, this movie is so bad that MST3K wouldnt touch it. i love zombie movies and this is a disgrace. like i said before.............WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!!

Summary: Gory action filled fun
Review: To prevent any confusion, this movie is part 3 of Andreas Schnaas' Violent ... trilogy, which goes under the name of Zombie Doom, VS 3, and Infantry of Doom. All the same movie. I recently got the dvd of "Zombie Doom" which also has a bonus film "Zombie 90" on the disc. Both movies are pretty bad as horror or action movies go, but as splatter movies they are pretty good. Some versions are in German with subtitles, the Shock-o-Rama dvd has english dubbing (done by the same group that dubbed the Premutos dvd). This dubbing is laughably bad, you will either hate it or won't mind cause it adds even more humour to an already humorous splatter comedy. Make no mistake, this movie is not to be taken seriously, it was intended that way. If you don't have an open mind going in you're likely to hate it.

The plot really has little to do with the first two in the series, although the 10 minute gang fight introduction of VS 2 loosely fits with the story of part 3. Karl the Butcher jr. (played well by Schnaas himself as usual) has rounded up a group of metal masked maniacs to rule over a desolate island. Their weaponry mainly consists of spears, machetes, and guns for the higher ranking warriors. The meister wields a shotgun. They brutally kill and conduct sick, gruesome experiments on anyone who invades their territory. When 3 lost travelers happen to become ship wrecked on the island, the stage is set for mayhem and bloody violence, Schnaas style. The men are captured and released to be hunted by the infantry as sport. They meet up with some former members of the clan and some kung fu masters but stupidly go out on their own. Not long after, they meet a nasty demise at the hands of the infantry. The martial artists decide to form a resistance and attempt to take revenge on Karl and his father. The following battle scenes are chaotic and graphic as you would expect, but before they can get their hands on "the meister" they must destroy a group of zombies, a troop of ninjas and dozens of soldiers! You'll have to see what happens for yourself, expect a smorgas board of gory killing and butchery.

Schnaas has clearly been inspired by zombie, kung fu, horror, and action films and he throws it all at you. There's a little bit of everything, but the real highlights are the gore scenes. People, I ain't joking when I say there are some of the coolest gore scenes ever put to film here. And there are many of them. Heads are split open, bodies cut in half, limbs hacked off, eyes gouged, spines ripped out, etc. All in blood spraying detail!!!The most decapitations I've ever seen in one movie! The effects are considerably better than his previous films, on many occasions my jaw dropped. If you like Olaf Ittenbach's films you're gonna like this.

The few negative aspects of Zombie Doom such as poor dubbing, stupid storyline and low budget props (the infantry's shields are garbage can lids) are easily forgiven when there's this much carnage taking place. This gorehound was well satisfied.

Zombie 90 is the only extra, but it's a decent gore flick on it's own. With even worse dubbing, acting and plot you get the feeling that everything is just an excuse to throw buckets of blood and guts at the camera. Works for me. Fast forward the slow parts and you will be treated to a frenzy of outragous gore effects and no holds barred zombie madness. This one's a real bloodbath folks, right up there with Premutos although some of the effects are a bit second rate.
