Night of Something Strange

It was the movie's cover/poster that initially caught my attention, and it looked very much like a 1980's horror movie. I read the synopsis and then decided to sit down and watch "Night of Something Strange".

And let me just be the first to say that "Night of Something Strange" turned out to be something rather different than what I had expected. So for better or worse? Well, honestly, it was for the latter.

The storyline in "Night of Something Strange" turned out to be rather ridiculous, and it was really difficult to get into the groove of the movie and get immersed into the storyline.

The acting in the movie was actually quite adequate, taking into consideration the budget of the movie and the type of movie that it is. So the acting talents actually did good jobs with the limitations imposed on them.

"Night of Something Strange" certainly had some fun enough moments, but they were outweighed by the inadequacies and lacks that the movie was weighed down by. As such, it wasn't a very memorable or enjoyable movie. And it was quite difficult to take anything in the movie serious.

The special effects in the movie were as to be expected from a movie of this caliber. So don't get your hopes up.

Normally I am a big zombie aficionado, but "Night of Something Strange" just was way too far out there, even for my liking.

My rating of "Night of Something Strange" lands on a less than mediocre 4 out of 10 stars.

This movie is unbelieveable dumb, playing with dozends of clichés of horror movies. Starting with a pervert in a coroner hall, disturbing the.dignity of the death by doing sexual misbehavior, over a botched spring break to total absurdity. It has more than disgusting scenes and simply no real story. I must admit that some of the scenes were that irritating absurd that I couldn't hold on laughing. But that was more reflexevly than because of the "fun" it pretends to spread. Sure there were some unintentional funny moments, but too less.

I don't know why I watched it until the end. I guess I did, because I wanted to know if that rubish can get lower and - surprise - it did every few Minutes. It's not that I don't like gory horror movies including sex scenes, but this one is just silly and somehow infantile.

My conclusion is that it is unintentionally funny at some moments, but also unbearable disgusting, brutally aggressive and at the end not really worth watching it. I still gave it a 4/10. That's.to be attributed to the fascination of the absurdity it provides for itself.

I was amazed by how the people driving vehicles got from afternoon to after dark, but not out of the town where the people with the virus were. The gasoline/ food store was a major infection center, where the local people infected could walk to the motel, that took people hours to drive to. From afternoon to after dark. Those are extremely fast zombies, when they are not shuffling around. The virus is extremely fast acting also. Very little growth time. It varies a lot. Sometimes it's, give me a second and I'll be right on that. Other times, it's a long slow car ride from afternoon to night. This review was 2 characters too short. BTW The teacher was a famous Scream Queen.

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.

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.
