Night of Something Strange

Morgue janitor Cornelius (Wayne W. Johnson) doesn't read the toe tags… if he did, then he probably wouldn't have climbed on board a Jane Doe for a spot of necro-nookie: according to the girl's label, she either died of radiation exposure or an unknown STD. Either way, it's bad news for Cornelius, who turns into a manky zombie rapist who quickly spreads his infection to his wife, who in turn spreads the infection to her mailman, who proceeds to transmit the disease to a gas station attendant. Before long, there are sex mad zombies all over the place—bad news for a group of teenagers who stop for the night at a nearby motel on their way to spring break.

I've been known to enjoy very low-brow movies in the past, but Night of Something Strange takes puerile vulgarity and crass horror to a whole new level, so much so that I actually felt embarrassed for those taking part—not just because the actors are required to perform lurid acts that are above and beyond the call of duty, but because the finished product just isn't amusing enough to make their debasement worthwhile. Used tampon eating, a fart-in-the-face gag that involves follow through, a masturbation scene, accidental male-on-male butt sex (the film's absolute nadir, which is preceded by some rimming), a tidal wave of zombie ejaculate, and mutated genitalia: just some of the outrageousness on offer that I found too tasteless and moronic to tickle my funny bone.

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.

A morgue janitor decides to rape a female corpse that died from "radiation exposure/STD? - some living cells." Back at home he suffers from groin pain, turns into a zombie, and attacks his partner, rapes her, and rips some of her insides out. She too turns into a zombie and attacks a mail man who also becomes a zombie. The janitor zombie is run over by two guys in a truck and ends up in the truck bed.

Meanwhile seven kids leave for spring break--a couple separately and 5 together. Everyone ends up at some point at some gas station, including the janitor and later at a motel where they are attacked by these sex-crazed zombies.

In addressing the issue, what if zombies were into sex?, Night of Something Strange aims to be extreme, vulgar, gross, adolescent, obscene, nasty, etc. And it succeeds at that. Most horror, even, or especially R-rated, is sanitized to death and boredom. Then there are movies like this one, which relish in being graphic. In addition it's supposed to be a teen comedy so you have all bodily functions and all body parts involved. It's not particularly funny but it does rely heavily on outrageously gross situations the actors and actresses were willing to put themselves in. There are countless nods to horror movies as one can tell from the character names: Jason, Freddy, Christine, Carrie, but also to other great movies like Heat.

I appreciate graphics horror movies, not so much graphic comedies, but Night of Something Strange blends the two well to create surprises and shocking scenes at every turn. You'll be amazed by the stuff they come up with here. So it's an entertaining movie no doubt. And if it's true that the budget was as low as shown on IMDb, then the movie is quite an accomplishment. You can't help but like a movie that's so enthusiastically outrageous.

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.

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.
