Zombies 4: El origen de los vampiros

I can't believe Zombies 4 is finally here, and honestly, it was everything I hoped for and more. As someone who grew up watching this franchise, this movie hit me right in the heart. It feels like I was taken back to when I first watched the original Zombies. That same excitement, those songs that get stuck in your head, and the characters that make you smile.

The music in this one is absolutely amazing. Every song feels meaningful, and some even gave me chills. The story kept me hooked from start to finish, and there were so many emotional moments that brought back memories of all the past movies. I could feel how much love and dedication the cast put into this, and it shows in every scene.

What I love most is how the movie managed to stay true to its roots while also giving us something new. It feels like they knew exactly what longtime fans wanted, and they delivered it perfectly. Watching Zombies 4 felt like closing a chapter of my childhood, but in the best possible way.

I'm honestly proud to say that I grew up with this franchise. This movie isn't just another sequel, it really reminds us why we fell in love with Zombies in the first place. And now, I'm super excited and hopeful about what's coming next for the franchise.

First, the disclaimers:

1) we forget we even have the Disney channel 2) this is not the type of movie we watch at all 3) I would never willingly watch a musical 4) I don't think I've ever watched one of these sing/dance movies in my 64 years in my (granted, old) memory.

5) although the title implied it was from a series, we didn't know anything about that

We were tempted by the description tagline "spooky, playful and endearing" for a Zombie movie.

An animated beginning, we were tempted to turn it off, but then it became "real".

A couple minutes in, I turned to my husband & said.

"Omg, I think she's going to start singing"

About 1/2 in, I said,

"It's like I can't stop watching with some kind of horrified interest."

It's really sweet. We really liked it.

I can see why young people are so into singing the songs and doing the tik tok video dance sketches.

The plot was good, no holes.

Mainly it gives me hope. It's nice to see that kids are learning about the better side of human nature in this uncertain world. That's probably what I liked best about it.

Otherwise, I still don't like musicals. LOL

My husband REALLY liked it though, & scored it exceptionally higher than his usual scores. So it must be pretty good.

The fourth installment of Zombies confirms what many suspected: the franchise is starting to show signs of exhaustion. The story feels repetitive, the resources seem limited, and the increasingly tight budget is evident in every frame. Still, against all odds, it's not a total disaster. There are fun moments, and it maintains the upbeat spirit that made it a hit with younger audiences.

Narratively, the film once again emphasizes unity over hate and prejudice - a metaphor we've already seen throughout the series, but one that still holds value. This time, vampires and so-called daywalkers are caught in conflict, with Zed and Addison trying to bring them together, following the same structure used with zombies, werewolves, and aliens in previous entries.

Visually, it's as colorful and sugary as ever, with cheerful musical numbers that do the job but no longer surprise. The chemistry between the leads still carries much of the story, while the new characters try to bring freshness without fully succeeding.

Perhaps the most redeeming aspect is its message: reinforcing the idea that unity, empathy, and diversity are stronger than division. It may sound naïve, but in today's world it's not such a bad thing for a teen movie to underline something so basic and necessary.

Zombies 4 won't go down in history as great family cinema nor does it extend the saga's magic much further, but for its target audience - especially those who've followed it from the beginning - it still has a certain charm. And if it gets new generations singing, dancing, and talking about accepting differences, maybe it fulfills its purpose better than it seems.

I just finished zombies 4 Dawn of the vampires. This movie has a lot of problems. From the story to the writing to even the dialogue or the songs it can often be shown as pretty mediocre beyond there. There's some good moments and good characters in this movie that really steal the show. Very good messages in here but at this point in 2025 it's been overused. There's a whole Romeo and Juliet type relationship that's going on here that you feel like you've seen 1000 times however that doesn't mean it's bad because it's not and it is enjoyable to watch if you are the intended audience for it. The main characters get side and wind and we introduced new characters.. It's dumb, but it has some good moments in it so I'm gonna be in little generous and I'm gonna give it a six out of 10.

Listen. The movie alone was okay, but as part of the Zombies series its a no from me. The first movie was great, the music was great, the outfits were cool, and the acting was good. And the choreography was top notch. Second one was okay. But when u guys came out with the third one it was obvious yall lost the plot. This one would've been better if it was its own series or movie without the connection to zombies. Specially considering yall got rid of the entire cast from the first and second movies.

Idk how to explain it but the outfits in this one compared to the first movie look so cheap.

And now their maybe mermaids...? Disney just stop. Please. This is one of those things we're yall got a lot of good feedback on Zombies 1, so u made a Zombies 2. That got decent feedback, so u made another one but that one wasn't as good as the first two so now ur tryna save it with this one and now its not even "Zombies" its zombies, vampires, aliens, werewolves, day people, and now something else in the water. Like no.
