Night of Something Strange

Just watched "Night of Something Strange (2016)", and it is one of the best, without a doubt, gorehound delights I have seen.

It has it all, std infected zombies, that don't even die shooting them in the head, you have to destroy their penises or vaginas to do the job.

This extreme, very extreme and extremely funny, over the line gore and bloody extravaganzas will make you cream your jeans, it is that good.

For gorehounds, this is absolutely a must see, you will not be sorry.

my rating, very rare, is 9/10

Don't miss this one, it deserves you gorehound's attention, asap.

Saw the movie at the Phoenix Film Festival, where it won for Best Horror Movie. We were wary that it was going to be predictable and cover the same well-trod ground as many similar-sounding movies. Teens celebrating graduation, attacked by a monster out in the country. Dying one by one.

No reason to fear that. The director, who spoke at the end of the movie, along with a couple of the actors, said he wanted to make this one exactly as he wanted. He had made a couple of other movies in which the content had been constrained by others. He decided to take this one over the top and throw everything into it. He mentioned some other effects that they couldn't get right, so they didn't get in.

They weren't necessary. It turned out to be interesting and inventive enough without them.

Be warned, you may cringe a few times and it might make you a little queasy if you have those types of problems. But it is a lot of fun if you can stand it.

I think the movie is exactly what it set out to be: a completely over the top gory comedy, a zombie movie inspired by the likes of Army of Darkness and Cooties and Braindead and Zombeavers. I mean, it starts with a necrophiliac who gets infected from a corpse and proceeds to turn and rape his mother. It only gets more disgusting from there.

Overall it was fun, but you've got to be in the mood. It's not for everybody and if you think your girlfriend could watch this with you, you are probably wrong. It's nothing really special, but it was original and fresh.

Ironically those who hate this, I bet loved. Sharknado. Don't listen to the 1-4 stars. I rate pretty hard but unbiased. For the $ they spent, it's worth a watch if you are waiting in line at the DMV. Might want to have ear buds in. Unless you want those in line to wonder why you're watching an STD Zombie raping girls or guys.

This is no Oscar award for acting. (Then who cares about the Oscars anymore really.) The movie doesn't take itself too seriously. I wouldn't say it has "Jump Scares" It's more a Gore fest.

This like The Sadness, is another Zombie movie inspired by the comic book: Crossed. If you only have time for one of the two, watch The Sadness. I'd rate this a four, but they did put in some effort, and at least brought some newish ideas to the Genre.

I will waste not one more word then necessary on this piece of crap film.

My summary essentially sums up the movie as a whole....

It's so blatantly obvious the morons who have given this film a 3 or above, let alone 9 and 10 out of 10 ratings are directly connected to the making of this film, are related to the film maker (who I won't bother to mention as the person deserves less then the credit of even mentioning their name) or are paid to rate the film. IMDb is an awesome tool to gauge the quality (or lack thereof), temperature, style and merits of any film in its vast data base, but, IMO, must weed out those who clearly are on the proverbial "payroll" of all involved by positive ratings for their own agenda.

Of the many film Genra's I enjoy, Horror is among the top three and I am not adverse to films considered to be "out there" or even devoid of a solid plot. That said, this waste of time film is nothing less then putrid. In every way imaginable. Even for its "shock value" scenes which are so terribly acted, filmed, directed and set to music fit for "C" level films, it's up there among one of the top three worst movies I've ever seen. And I've seen 1000+ films over the past 35 years.

Please IMDb, figure out a way to vet your user reviews as to not waste people's money or more importantly, time, as a potential viewer relies on the user reviews more so then professional critics. I believe the public tends to be much more fair and honest when reviewing a film. We have no agenda, nothing to gain by writing a review other then to help others in deciding whether or not to view a film by Championing said film or Dead-Panning it.

As for me, and I have reviewed many films on this site as well as have much experience in film viewing, if I could give this film a -10, I would.

Horror fans, run for your lives! Or, at least away from your TV screen.
