"Worst ever" gets thrown around a lot. Most of the time the thing being labeled as such is nowhere near "the worst ever". But in the case of prolific trash-peddler Dustin Ferguson it is actually true.
Somehow, this man has figured out loopholes to release 'sequels' to numerous cult 70s and 80s films. On paper that is awesome. Who wouldn't want to see a new Zombi film?
Like all of Fergusons films, we don't get a new Zombi film. We get 50% stock footage, 25% credit sequences, 15% talking scenes and 5% terrible zombie footage.
Do not bother watching this garbage, there is absolutely no redeeming value whatsoever.

Dustin Ferguson is the worst director ever
Equivalent to a Fan Film
The Zombi series is quite the confusing franchise. But this film claims to be a direct sequel to the two original Lucio Fulci films. Other than original music cues and reference to the original island the zombies are on, there is no connection.
Here we have a zero-budget film shot in the United States made for the Australian market based on two Italian films that were made as unofficial sequels to an American film (Dawn of the Dead) which was also a sequel to Night of the Living Dead. Which they show clips of in this movie because public domain even though they film it off a TV and looks like crap.
You'll be bored watching this even though it's 57 minutes. In order to pad the runtime as best they can, they put in minutes of footage where nothing is happening as characters are walking around a forest. But that's better than when the characters are talking. Not only are the actors bad, you can barely hear them as the audio was recorded straight from the built-in camera mic.
They also stretch the runtime by long opening credits, lasting about 3 minutes, and about 4 minutes of closing credits. Leaving virtually no plot, no character development, or any lack of care for what's happening.
This feels like an insult to the Fulci films. Those weren't great either and were low budget in their own right but at least there was real effort, talent, and charm to them. Especially if you're familiar with the making of Italian horror films of that time.
If you're going to watch anyway, don't pay for it. It is not worth the money. I was fortunate to watch it for free on Tubi.
