Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires

In “Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires,” released on Disney+ in July, a summer road trip brings Zed and Addison with an encounter with two monster parties at war: Vampires and Daywalkers. To stop an even greater threat, they’ll have to help these two enemies join together before it’s too late.

Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly pass the torch to Malachi Barton and Freya Skye, who are great as Victor and Nova. Kristen Maldonado said in her review, “The two are leaders of their respective clans caught in an almost Romeo and Juliet-esque rivalry. Both are pushing against expectations as they wrestle with themes of leadership, legacy, and inherited prejudice. The Zombies 4 soundtrack definitely delivers, mixing nostalgic throwbacks with new high-energy favorites.” Highlights include Skye and Barton’s romantic duet Dream Come True and Skye’s permitting solo My Own Way.

With a look at an ocean monster living beneath the surface, you can guess “Zombies 5” could be made soon.

I will say, for a franchise that has brought together all different types of creatures, this one is really pushing it. I don’t know how much more they can do, as I think this franchise is fine for what it is, as it does target young children and I can see and audience for it, especially with a good soundtrack, but will this continue to be loved by children or will it lose its spark soon? Only time will tell as I wouldn’t want this franchise to be overcluttered with too many creatures, as that would be too much. If you have children, you can put this on for them on Disney+ and they’ll love it and I think adults may like this too.

Tomorrow I will look at another animated MCU miniseries in “Disney Month 2025.”
