Customer Reviews of Zombie 4 - After Death

Not for the weak o stomach
There is a distinct difference between American and Italian/European ZOmbie films. In America the zombies do eat people, but tend to look more human and the cannibalism is cut to a minimum. However ITalian/Eurpean Zombie films go all out in the gore factor. THus this comes in as the dubbed American Release of the movie After Death, released as Zombie 4. The story revolves around a woman who witnessed the grisly murder of parents on an island that is cursed with the living dead at a young age. She is traveling there with mercenaries and friends and end up in one of the doors of hell as she must battle the living dead. Problem is that there are hundreads of them and they just love human flesh.

Just like any other Italian Zombie film the focus is not so much on story, but on the gore and trust me there is an abundance of that. It overall is very gorey and overall for the average viewer very disgusting. However for Gore hounds this is another title to place in your library, for die hard gore hounds only.

Cheesey Zombie Fun
I liked this Italian zombie entry. It's a typical plot - a group goes to an island where the dead are rising and get caught in one space trying to fend them off. This is an enjoyable ripoff of Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, where they get stuck in a house for awhile and keep fending off the dead. I like really good zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead, Zombie, The Beyond and Night of the Living Dead as well as the bad ones like Zombi 3. If you're a zombie aficienado you should enjoy Zombie 4. Gay porn star Jeff Stryker stars. A voodoo priest's girl gets killed and he curses those responsible to have the dead rise from their graves. This is low budget with some decent gore effects. All the zombie cliche's are here.

Weak Entry into the Zombie Genre
This is one of the worst zombie films ever made. The acting is amateurish, the special effects are weak, the same camera shots are recycled again and again, etc. The plot centers around a research station's staff who are massacred by the living dead (who, by the way, look like ninjas) conjured up by an upset medicine man. The one survivor is a little girl who grows up and (surprise, surprise) ends up back on the island with a motley group of friends who end up fighting the living dead still roaming the place. After arrival on the island, one of the most laughable parts of the film happens. The island is supposedly out in the remote Pacific but yet the main characters arrive on a small motorboat. Furthermore, the viewer is asked to believe that the three men who are supposedly mercenaries (two I could believe but one looked like the lead singer for a synthpop band) have girlfriends who look like they stepped out of a 1980's mall. In another laughable scene, the people need help for their boat but, when one of the men sees someone (it turns out to be on the living dead) in the vegetation, he doesn't yell, "Stop, PLEASE! We need help!" No, he decides to pursue the zombie who inexplicably runs away and then BEATS the zombie with his fists. That's not a good way to get help.

If you want a good zombie film, get Dawn of the Dead.
