Zombie Night

Within the first 5 minutes I was struck with arrogance. You know how some movies begin with a quote or piece of poetry by some famous scholar or writer? Well this one starts with a quote, from one of the movies creators.

Then the movie really begins, a generic zombie film revolving around a group of survivors and their valiant efforts to survive the movies 90 minute runtime.

Full of the usual cliches but taking them considerably too far especially the one about the "Bad apple" of the group who jeopardises the safety of the others.

It gets stupid, we have a character who continues to be a liability from stealing to sabotaging to straight up murdering and yet our "Heroes" do little to prevent him from carrying on with his behaviour.

The bad acting, poor sound editing and writing which several times throughout the film made me cringe. It defies belief just how stupid this film is and to be clear I watch a lot of hyper low budget zombie affairs and this is one of the worst.

Even the most hardcore zombie fan will struggle with this embarassment.

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Laughable acting

Awful writing

A hero simply called Dave, really?

The god monologue is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I would have shot Derek in the face, twice

If a man falls down it's best to talk for a while then shoot him in the head to save him from getting bitten

Even a person killed via a shot to the head will rise as a zombie

This movie is proof that if you let some one watch to many zombie movies and give them a cheap camera and a bunch of air head extras, you to can make a BAD movie. The acting is some of the worst I have seen in awhile. The sets, locations and sound are way below par as well. This movie has nothing to make it worth while. In some scenes there are 5 or 6 people making plans, and then the next scene the have added about 10 to 15 more people to their group. The don't explain it either. Also the gore effects are not that good. To make matters even worse, the previews on the DVD were almost as bad as the main movie. I heard there was going to be a part 2 to this mess. I don't know how. If this played in any theater it should be closed down. When I got suckered into renting this there was only one copy in the store. If you like to waste 90 minutes of you life on bad movies, than this is for you. Yuck !!!

Without giving anything away...the acting blows, the special effects blow, and its a total rip off of night of the living dead. Its bad enough it was shot in DV... (I wouldn't hold that against them though, I try not to judge based on the budget) but they don't make up for the lack of budget with content. I would, however, highly recommend this movie to film student, for inspiration, because if anything this bad can make it to a video store shelf, there's hope for anyone!!! I am sorry to hear that one of the people that worked on it died post-production, but that really doesn't help the quality of the film. In closing I would like to point out that if you made the same mistake I did and purchased the DVD before you saw it, that DVD's make great frisbees!

I don't really want to give this movie any stars at all because it was so bad that I have to own it. Yup, one of those that has so many things wrong with it in terms of story, dialogue, acting, plot holes and yes, editing, that it earns a place on my list of Most Fun Bad Movies Ever. It's up there with SHOWGIRLS and FEMALE MERCENARIES ON ZOMBIE ISLAND. MST3K was made for movies like ZOMBIE NIGHT. You could definitely drive a Humvie Limo through the plot holes and the way some of the people apathetically strolled away from the equally apathetic zombies reminded me of KIDS IN THE HALL's zombie sketch. And you gotta love an 'impenetrable barrier' made of a few wooden crates tied together with two pieces of rope. Heh. I'm gonna watch it again with friends.

I cannot justify even giving this movie a single star.

It is bad.

No, even worse than bad. There is no adjective in the English language that appropriately describes how awful this movie is.

I will admit that there are a couple of good zombie kills, but the acting, sound quality, video quality, plot, continuity, believibility, and setting are all really bad.

Somehow, they even managed to do a bad job with the nudity scenes.

If you want to get drunk and make fun of this movie with your buddies, then this movie will serve you a purpose, but if you want to enjoy watching a scary movie, look elsewhere.
