All build up, with no payoff.

All build up, with no payoff. What was going through Robert Vaughn's head during shooting? The acting is so bad that the plot (??) is impossible to follow...most of the dialogue just sounds like random words. The gore (what little of it there is) is terrible. Nothing happens!! Somehow, Zombie 5 came out the year before Zombie 4...a minor point. Anyway, they both have the same structure...they both start with a ridiculously long flash back which ends with a child getting away. Then this child comes back when they are older...but they don't make that clear. Then they randomly introduce characters and kill them off. As for Killing Birds...I have no idea what birds had to do with anything...I'm sure Robert Vaughn explained it at some point. Not even worth laughing at!
