Review of After Death

After Death (1989)
5/10
a bucket of gore, anyone ???
15 July 2003
I found this film, hidden deep in my closet of horror. Without having any clue what so ever I began watching it. After the first 10 minutes, the face of 4 people were already ripped off. I'm always up for a bit of gore so I left it on. Afterwards, when I looked it up here, It seemed to be a part of the Zombi-series, brought to us originally by Lucio Fulci...makes sense. So, it's also known as : Zombi 4 or "Oltre la morte"... and about a million other aka's. Italian zombie films are always fun. Even though they all start to look alike, you just keep on watching them. I don't know why that is actually. It's just a common thing. The make up is gore enough but the music is disturbing (especially the rock ballads). The story ? OK, a group of soldiers (sort of) are caught on an island. On this same island, a curse has been spoken by a witchdoctor upon a group of scientists 20 years ago. One little girl escaped and now she's back on the island ( what are the odds on that, huh) The zombies are still dwelling around and hunt down the now grown up girl and her friends. That's it...don't tell me you expected more. One more thing. The leading actors name is Jeff Stryker (he also has several aka's) Does that name means anything to you? If not, you're a good boy/girl because Mr. Stryker is an adult actor. According to his biography, this is the only non-adult film that he ever made...Zombies and porn, that's a hell of a resumé if you ask me.
