the audience applauded
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreMark (Cole) and Shelley (Segovic) are driving home from a weekend camping trip and turn on the car radio to hear that a war has started which is turning the dead into zombies. They take shelter with their young daughter Amber (Andrea Ramolo) in a warehouse area until they run into Dave (Ticknovich) whose wife is killed. They quickly pick up others and form a group struggling to survive. A hot head member of the group named Derek (Moniz) keeps causing trouble which eventually leads to members of the groups being killed by the zombies. This low budget outing from Producer, Writer and Director David J. Francis gets some good marks from the obvious fun it looks like they had making this. Francis is a real Zombie movie fan and that enthusiasm shows despite rough dialog and poor acting. Lead actor Danny Ticknovich could be a stunt double for Tom Cruise due to his looks but didn't get Cruise's acting chops. The gore, and there is a lot of it, ranges from great to very poor, sometimes from scene to scene. The movie just stops rather than having an actual ending which is puzzling. Overall, "Zombie Night" is poor but that Independent spirit and love of Zombie films comes through and it almost makes this watchable. At least the film makers gave it their best shot.
View MoreThis movie is so bad its almost funny. I don't regret watching this movie, in fact, where it not for the nudity and language, it would be worthy of MST3K. There are a couple paradoxes that make it slightly amusing. Although, the majority is total trash, sometimes so bad you can shove a pencil into you're ear canal just to stop the pain. It bordered on annoying as there where recurrent stupid things like the whole susceptibility to being, "ensnared within the agile grasp" of the zombies after being tapped. And script writing is seemingly nonexistent, did the director just give up half way through the movie? And the Derick character is the most annoying thing since "The Jersey Shore" STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE!!!
View MoreFirst, I watch a lot of zombie flicks. At least one a week. My love for the genre includes all the B-horror indie stuff, made with a camera you got for Christmas, made with friends in school. But at least those kind of films know what they are.Rarely do I feel the need to comment on a bad zombie movie, as there's so many out there it'd take up a lot of my time. But sometimes one comes along that just reeks of failure. Zombie Night is one of those.I sought this out based on a review on ZMDB.org. The review said "good acting, plot, cared about the characters, check it out".. but holy crap, now I think it was all tongue-in-cheek. The acting is some of the worst I've seen. It's right up there with Zombie Nation and Rising Dead. The actors actually stammer their lines sometimes, as if it's difficult to speak. They're so poorly delivered I actually cringed a few times (when I wasn't laughing and rolling my eyes). The actors are like talking stone walls, until the script says "move," and then, they promptly become stone walls again.The story is average, but execution is unenthusiastic and extremely bland. I pray this is the director's first film. You don't care about any of the characters (though you do want Derrek to make up his mind on staying or leaving), and just wait for the gory parts, of which there are few (though it is decent special effects for such a low-budget film). There's a couple topless scenes, but other than that, f***ing yawn.Would've been 2/10 but I gave it an extra star for the decent bloodwork. I was glad when it was over. I wish I could wash this movie off of me.
View MoreIf I could hand out awards, I would give this movie the Worst Movie Ever Award for being devoid of any real plot and having absolutely no believable characters with terrible dialog. I was never sure how much time had passed or how all the random people kept showing up. And because there were so many randoms in this movie it made it hard to even follow who some of the main characters were (i.e. Amber). The supposed "good guy" was almost as much of a douche as Derrick (up until the point that Derrick kills the girl). Also, if you're fighting for survival in a world overrun by zombies (and in a supposed nuclear fallout - or something quite similar), why would you let such a terrible person stay in your midst? Anyhow. This movie was terrible, and I only finished watching it out of pure fascination as to how it is possible to make such a terrible movie, even on such a low budget - which is no excuse, just to let you know.A cheesy movie is acceptable when done right - this wasn't.If you're going to watch this movie, be prepared for the worst cinematic adventure of your life.PS, I agree that this should be called an F Movie instead of a B Movie, and should not even get the good graces of a 1, for it was far more terrible than that. Also, there should never be a sequel to this atrocity.Thank you, and good night.
