Zombie Night (2013)

Great Film overall

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Oh Shirley Jones...how far you've fallen. The feigned constant terror from her was pretty horrible. I thought Anthony Michael hall might have been cast in a decent movie but every part of this movie was bad. The zombie makeup was decent but that was about it. Nobody roots for the zombies unless the movie is sharknado quality.Syfy is not the bell-weather of great acting but this was simply unfortunate. Who has a gun and doesn't double tap everything that moans and groans??Couldn't finish it

The usual big productions zombie films are nowadays cliché: you immediately will know who'll survive and who'll die. Films like Zombie Night, instead, are unpredictable, they really give you the thrill of - is him/her going to make it?. Generally speaking, unless there's (much)humor in it, the quality of small budget zombie films is acceptable,other ways the film becomes a Z movie (generally zombie films are already B movies). This film is thrilling, creepy and moving; the cast is (really) good, the peace is very good, the photography is essentialand it's a good thing for a change. In addiction many zombie clichés are avoided giving the story more creditability. I really enjoyed the time watching this film and I highly recommend it.

I caught this at 1 or 2am on the SciFi Channel(yes, I know they changed the spelling of their name a few years back but I refuse to acknowledge it:)...first off let me say that I am a huge zombie/horror movie fan and will watch almost anything(I have sat thru some real dogs in my day), but this movie was just plain awful...the plot, most of the acting,the effects, and the pacing were just absolutely terrible. I try to never be one of those people that says "Oh I can't believe he/she was in THAT!" because I realize acting is still a job and helps pay the bills, but I would've been hesitant to take this job:P I was frankly surprised to see 4 pretty well-known actors in this once I started to realize how bad a script/movie it was...just DO NOT waste your time with this bc you will be very, very disappointed in the quality(and that's coming from someone who enjoys a good "B- movie").

Anyone who watches Asylum-distributed Zombie Night expecting a fine movie is, of course, delusional. However, there are fun bad horror movies and garbage bad horror movies. This one falls in the latter category and is the cinematic equivalent of a greasy hamburger purchased at a grimy kiosk: nauseating, still part of the group it claims membership of (food, movies), just barely.Without the charming naivety of stuff made by people who were genuinely trying, these lazy flicks are awful in the most tiresome way. Their zombies or monsters are never scary, but the reptilian greed you glimpse behind the project is unsettling in a Lovecraftian sense.Here, the people cashing their paychecks are California Mountain Snake, Ferris Bueller's best friend and Johnny Smith - not Christopher Walken (who is not above terrible movies himself, but prefers them with a little more spirit), but the one from the Dead Zone TV series. They face a zombie invasion. Cue gore, abysmal dialogues, tedium. Searching for fun horror movies you might have missed? Look elsewhere: Neil Marshall' Dog Soldiers, Jaume Balaguero's REC, the Pastor Brothers' The Last Days, Bong Joon- ho's Gwoemul, John Fawcett's Ginger Snaps, George Romero's Diary of the Dead, John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars, Dario Argento's The Cat o' Nine Tails.That greasy hamburger is looking less and less inviting by comparison.2/10
