ZOMBIES 3
Catchy songs cannot rescue this dark, deranged, dull musical.
Should You Watch It?
ZOMBIES 3 has a promising setup: a teenage zombie wants a college scholarship and hopes to attend the same school as his girlfriend. The musical includes some catchy tunes and good choreography.
But the plot wanders, the acting leaves much to be desired, and the film’s central message repeatedly celebrates total acceptance without regard for how people behave. The movie also includes a strong Romantic, politically correct, pro-homosexual worldview, dark occult elements, same-sex and bisexual flirting and attraction, a sexually perverse reference, and scary monster rage images.
The answer is clear: skip ZOMBIES 3 and choose something better for your family.
The Story
NO SPOILERS — WE KEEP THE SURPRISESSeacrest is a town where humans, zombies and werewolves live together. At Seacrest High School, zombie student Zed hopes to become a football star and earn a college scholarship. He also wants to attend the same college as his girlfriend, Addison.
When college scouts arrive for the big game, an alien invasion interrupts everything. The aliens are searching for a map to a new home, so Zed and Addison become involved in helping them find it.
Is It Any Good?
The two-star rating reflects a musical with a few appealing elements but substantial weaknesses. ZOMBIES 3 has some catchy songs and pretty good choreography.
The plot wanders, however, and the acting leaves much to be desired. The film’s entertainment value is further weakened by its dark occult elements and heavy ideological messaging.
The Worldview
The film promotes total acceptance as a central ideal, repeating that everyone should be accepted for whoever or whatever they are, regardless of how they act. It presents unusual and erratic behavior as evidence that people are more special, rather than treating harmful or deviant behavior as something requiring moral judgment.
ZOMBIES 3 also promotes a Romantic, politically correct, pro-homosexual worldview. Its worldview is expressed through same-sex and bisexual flirting and attraction, politically correct statements, and a sexually perverse reference. Alongside that message are occult elements involving magic, zombies, werewolves, monsters, telepathy, and moving objects with the mind.
This departs from the biblical call to love people while still discerning what is good and evil. Scripture says, “Test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

Talk About It
Questions for the drive home, the dinner table, or the youth group.
How can we accept people as made in God’s image while still discerning whether their actions are good?
Genesis 1:27 · 1 Thessalonians 5:21Why is it dangerous to treat every unusual or erratic behavior as automatically good?
Isaiah 5:20 · Philippians 4:8What is the difference between loving a person and approving everything that person does?
Ephesians 4:15 · 1 Corinthians 13:6How should Christians respond when entertainment presents a worldview that conflicts with Scripture?
Romans 12:2 · Philippians 4:8The Final Word
ZOMBIES 3 offers catchy music and decent choreography, but its wandering plot, weak acting, dark occult elements, and harmful worldview outweigh those strengths. For your family’s entertainment, SKIP IT. Consider these instead.
