"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.

After learning of her father's disappearance, a woman brings a group of friends to go with her to a strange island to investigate, and when they learn that he's become a flesh-eating zombie inadvertently brings him back to the mainline where he starts a zombie outbreak that overruns their town.
There was a lot to like with this one. One of the better aspects of this one is a rather fun setup that manages to bring this one into the universe. The introduction of the trip to the original island and the desire to find the missing father echo many of the same beats and storyline points from the original films and end up tying this together rather nicely. The outbreak that occurs with the residents getting attacked and turned into fellow zombies making for a lot of rather fun subtle highlights and homages to films of the past with either fun callbacks or re-creations of not just zombie attacks but just simplistic scenes in the middle of the sequence. There's a lot of that running throughout here and gives the film a rather solid old-school vibe which is quite enjoyable. That goes hand-in-hand with some fun zombie action that carries on throughout here. The rescue mission on the island that results in the capture of the main zombie and removal from there into the suburban landscape is quite fun and features some ingenious tactics to acquire that body in the condition they do. Likewise, the scenes of it going around the community taking out the victims in her living complex or the gang of partiers in the woods are rather fun as well with the creatures arriving out of nowhere and ambushing victims providing some decent gore-gags and deaths. Combined with the stellar indie gore and zombie make-up, these manage to give this one a lot to like. This one doesn't have much wrong but it's got some minor issues. The main element that would hold this back is the usage of all the background stock footage in the first half that features most of the characters reacting to footage of animals in a jungle environment rather than delve into any kind of zombie action. It does feel shoehorned into the action with the extended amount of time it takes up with them going through the jungle with the padding to the running time it provides. Likewise, there's also a rushed ending that just seems to end the film on a sudden beat, getting a certain beat across and then just ending which is a bit distracting but none of these are truly detrimental in the slightest.
Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and Nudity.

I sat down to watch the 2021 movie titled "Zombi VIII: Urban Decay", given my interest in all things zombie. Sure, the "Zombi" movie franchise haven't exactly been great, but still, I opted to give it a chance.
And I should have gone with my gut feeling and just left this movie alone. Yeah, "Zombi VIII: Urban Decay" was that bad.
There weren't any properly well-written storyline to be seen in "Zombi VIII: Urban Decay", so I don't really know what writer and director Dustin Ferguson was thinking when he wrote and made this particular movie.
What you get when you sit down to watch the 2021 movie "Zombi VIII: Urban Decay" is a whole lot of nothing. There is no proper storyline, and even worse dialogue. Then there was the dubious and questionable acting, which was just painful to witness. And "Zombi VIII: Urban Decay" contains a whole lot of nothing, virtually nothing - film being wasted on people walking in the wilderness, or sitting in a cab. I feel that I should also mention the audio in "Zombi VIII: Urban Decay", because it was atrocious. I wonder how a sound that bad, which was at times so low you could hardly hear what was being mumbled on the screen, could ever pass through editing. Surely someone must have noticed it and raise a finger.
"Zombi VIII: Urban Decay" is one of the worst zombie movies I have had the misfortune of stumbling upon. And it is definitely a contender for the top 10 of bad zombie movies I have seen.
I am rating "Zombi VIII: Urban Decay" a generous one out of ten stars. You should really do yourself a favor and skip on this abysmal wreck of a movie. Some of us suffered through this ordeal so you don't have to. Another strike out for the "Zombi" franchise.

The worst Zombie film I have ever seen. I enjoyed Zombie 2 & 3, 4 was Meh and 5 was lame. I haven't ever heard of the Director/Writer of this one before but he clearly doesn't know how to make a film. Every single boring scene was dragged out for 10 minutes. My favorite scene was where a girl dancing takes her top off, other than that there's nothing to see.
I don't know how it was scored 8/10 by another reviewer, maybe linked to the movie?
You only have to check the trailer to see it is badly acted and is a cheap B movie. If it is was made to look like the 70's 80's cheap badly acted movies then it works (back in those days).
Other than that terrible film, just on the trailer! Check it and see what I mean,
