Scott Grimes was already a veteran of the comedy horror genre when he appeared in 'Night Life', having already starred in the suprise box office hit 'Critters' and it's first sequel.

He had the distinction of being one of the few juvenile leads who never came across as annoying and here he puts his likeability to good use as put upon high school student Archie who works part time at his uncle's mortuary.

A sort of cross between a John Hughes movie and 'Return Of The Living Dead', 'Night Life' has Archie battling for his life when the school bullies, killed in a tragic accident, are reanimated at the mortuary and continue to torment but in far more ghastly ways! Tongue-in-cheek and with some grisly special effects, 'Night Life' is an overlooked gem for zombie fans.
