Review of Zombie Night (2013) by Keith H — 18 Mar 2008

Horrible. This is the type of movie that makes me rethink my love of zombies on film (or video). Where do I begin to recount the atrocities this "movie" as committed? How about right from the beginning where some random guy sort of stumbles into a zombie and rather than run away just sits there screaming as his flesh is eaten.

Or the next scene where a couple listens to reports of chemical warfare occurring halfway across the globe (which naturally creates zombies in North America) being aired on the RADIO so of course we're treated to clips of TELEVISED news footage! How about random people that suddenly appear in the ever growing group of survivors when we cut to the next scene? This thing is chock full of actions that make no sense coupled with the faintest semblance of a plot brought to life by mediocre to bad actors with only the merest hint of direction.

The best part of Zombie Night? The make-up effects were pretty good, and while it can be pretty forgivable in a movie like this for the zombies and gore to make up for any other shortcomings... the bad here outweighs the good by a few tons.

Ugh, I can't say enough bad things about this movie and I've already said all the good I can. Don't watch this even for the joke factor... go watch House of the Dead instead. Yes, that's right, House of the Dead is better than this.
