Zombie 4, After Death, Zombie Flesh Eaters 3 (1989) Review ​

 

A woman inadvertently goes back to a zombie infested island where her parents were killed.

Writer /director Claudio Fragasso’s wild abysmal sequel has very little link to Fulci’s (known under a variety of titles including) Zombie Flesh Eaters (1979) or Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 (1988) in the UK. Fragasso’s film seems predominantly like Mattei’s Virus/ Hell of the living Dead / Night of the Zombies (1980). Like Night of the Zombies was a Dawn of the Dead wannabe, this is another cheese festival of zombie nonsense.

While the phrase so bad it’s good can be be applied to Night of the Zombies, Zombi 4 is plain borderline with a few redeeming features. Mainly some make up effects and lead cast. There’s awfully executed effects, shoddy lighting, sub-par directing, illogical storytelling coupled with daft exposition dialogue in every scene, at times its simply cheap but not cheerful. While fun, talking zombies, guns, candles falling over and jumping undead it mounts up to very little.

The 80’s rock soundtrack of is probably its best redeeming feature. As another cash-in follow up to Zombie Flesh Eaters it’s slightly disappointing even if mildly entertaining.
