Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires

Movie critic aside, it's hard to pay attention to the movie because most of it is so dark. The lighting is so poor there are chunks of the movie where you can't tell what is happening.

Aside from that it's true to the franchise. The story and music are adequate to its brand.

Loved the message of unity and working together. It's Disney, and for that we were not disappointed.

Our true issue was with the lighting. Couldn't see scenes properly. It's frustrating.

Loved the new talent that Disney tapped for this film. Love that they find new people and give them a chance. Cast is diverse, just wished they were not all 25 year olds playing at 18 year olds. LOL!

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.

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.

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.

It was an okay movie. I liked the storyline with Nova and Victor. It was very reminiscent of Allison and Zed in the first movie, which i'm fairly certain was the writers intent.

Other than that, most of the songs were good, but the writing kinda fell flat. Not much character development outside of the songs, which i didn't like. What was the point of having Willa and Eliza in the film if they're not in it for like 3/4ths of it? They're some of the best characters!

Again, it was an okay movie. It's the type of movie that you watch when you are extremely bored or if you just want to laugh at something cringey.
