How much could such a franchise really explore? Not much, and while the trio got some mild development and pathos previously, here they’re just a clan of psychos. The universe Zombie created is full of terrible people doing terrible things. If 3 From Hell pulled anything from the previous films, it wasn’t the better aspects.

This is an add-on, feature length epilogue, made for fan service more than anything else. Unfortunately, with only two of the infamous Firefly family members propelling the story, it loses the momentum of the colorful, vile monsters that populated Zombie’s last two entries in the trilogy.ĭespite the rather finite ending of the previous film, there isn’t much detail given to explain how Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), Otis Driftwood ( Bill Moseley), and Captain Spaulding ( Sid Haig) somehow survived their predicament. Ten minutes of grainy “archival” footage open the film and by the time things really get going, it’s obvious this is a very different film within Zombie’s Firefly trilogy all the way up to its western-themed finale. After escaping prison, the Firefly family goes on the run for one more rampage full of blood and chaos.
