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."

Now this is a movie with substance!

"Wow....what can I say for Zombie 4. Seriously, this movie was hilarious! First of all, it starts out with a family of a mom, dad, and like a 3 year old girl. They are runnin around on this tropical island (just like all other zombie movies) and the mom and dad die. So this girl ends up escaping somehow. Trust me, I have spent many a day thinking and pondering her escape, and for the life of me, I don't think that a 3 year old would know how to escape the wrath of flesh eating zombies and sail to the coast of a safe island by herself....but whatever. Anyway, some years later, this girl comes back to the island, unknowing that it is the same island that claimed the life of her parents. She arrives with some young girl friends, and some really old Vietnam Vets (or some type of really old creepy guys). Yeah, don't feel bad, I didn't get it either. I mean, what young girl wants to hang around some drunken old men on their tropical vacation? But anyway...zombies chase 'em around, and around, trying to eat their heads, you know, the usual. But the real question is...do they escape???? Find out in Zombie 4....
Recomendations: Go see Zombie 3, it's even more hilarious.
Things I learned from Zombie 4: Seriously, if you are a young girl, don't go vacationing with some old men. They just end up ruining your vacation. Whether they hit on you or they get their heads eaten, young girls + old men = no fun at all."
