Holy Ca Ca! This movie is so bad, I can't even describe, so bare with me. So what happens when Zombies take over the world, the survivors in City...? your guess is as good as mine. Take refuge in an empty ware house. In fact thats where 97% of this film takes place. The other3% takes place in the woods surrounding the Ware house.
This movie looks like its shot on lowgrade video tape. The acting is so bad, its almost like the actors are reading off Cue Cards. Honestly it looks like someones Video Class homework.
Now, if Zombies take over the world and you have to defend yourself with the only practical kind of weapon-guns wouldn't you get the best stuff? Yeah not these guys, about 95% of guns being used, look like cap guns, or something smaller than a 38 snub nose revolver.
There is some gore in this film but, because of the video quality the picture was shot on, and the bad acting coupled with bad directing the gory parts of this movie seem very fake. Example, in one part of the film a zombie gets his leg blasted off just below the knee, when the zombie is rolling around on the ground with No leg, you can see the actor has his lower leg in a hole with the latex and prosthetics around his knee. So lame.
When this movie finally ended, I honestly said 'theres an hour and a half of my life I'm never getting back.' I think I'm just a bit less intelligent because I watched it. How about that! Bottom Line....Terrible, not worth the plastic that its printed on.

Skipping the whole synopsis since you can just scroll up if you don't know what this movie is about, we'll get to the meat. This is the most horrible movie I've endured for quite some time. The only reason I didn't turn it off and save myself some pain is the fact that I actually had to pay money to see it. Don't make the same mistake I did.
The actors in this movie are absolutely unforgivable. I sincerely hope that Zombie Night marks the end of the careers of everybody invloved. Not only could they not pull off simple dialog, but the action scenes (I'm using this term very loosely, mind you) are atrocious. They look like a bunch of five year olds play fighting. Also, new charaters seemed to just appear out of nowhere.
Next, small detail though it may be, they had the wussiest guns I have ever seen in a movie. If you had a .22 revolver and wanted a gun that really sucked, this is the gun you would have. They looked like cap guns or something but everybody acts like they are hand cannons. There is actually one .45 caliber in the movie, but it seems like they kept rading it around. In one frame a character might have the .45 and in the next frame he/she has a cap gun and somebody else has the .45.
Also, the movie seems to be really long. I though it would never end. They actually tried for a plot, but the script is so crappy and drawn out that it takes an eternity. And after all the utter lameness there is still no substance to the plot.
I think the worst crime committed by this movie is that the gore effects are actually good. That good splatter was wasted on this should be illegal. There are also some pretty decent looking zombies. This actually serves to point out all of the other failings of this movie and by no means does it redeem Zombie Night. I dare say that House Of The Dead was better. Gee, I never thought I'd say that........

I gave this one star only because I coudn't give it anything less. This was perhaps the worst film, even by low-budget horror standards, simply for the fact that nothing ruins a production faster than bad acting and bad dialogue. And this film exhibited both. The dialogue, the writing, the acting, especially the lack of character development, which did nothing more than to create an ensemble of pasteboard characters, was so poorly done that I would have to say that this was written by fourth graders for third graders. **Seriously, even if you like low budget horror films no matter how bad they may be, stay away from this one. This film is an insult to the art of horror.

First off let me say that the only reason this movie did not get five stars is because is was too short. I want more Zombie Night!
This may very well be the greatest zombie movie ever made and it is all due to the amazing acting performances that brought to life some of the most memorable and complex characters ever. The plot is simple, enough survive a zombie apocalypse. But that would have been too easy so the director added some personal touches to put the characters at greater risk. First, in this part of the world, no one has ever heard of a rifle or a shotgun and semi automatic pistols seem to be a new and exciting technology. The characters strike out on to survive on this damned earth with nothing more than the smallest of revolvers. Which definitely adds to the level of difficulty when fighting off more than 5 zombies.
Second, no one is allowed to run at full speed. Again, with the average speed of a zombie a rough .3 miles an hour, running away from them is like taking candy from a baby. So the director obviously told them to run as if they had just learned to walk five minutes ago and act as uncoordinated as possible, basically act like a new born zebra evading a female lion.
And third, which is the most genius of all, pretend to have absolutely zero common sense or ability to analyze the consequences of your actions. When faced with a mindless enemy, out thinking them and surviving into old age with ease would make for a very boring movie. These characters were developed to allow for as much drama and suspense possible in a 91 minutes. Why else would they keep allowing Derek to live and escape.
That brings me to the cast of characters in Zombie Night. There are three main characters in the movie; Dave, that damn Derek and Keith (the English black guy). Dave is the leader of the "good" group who is just trying to survive this crazy world. Danny Ticknovich should have been given an oscar for his performance. Never has a more believable buffoon been brought to life on screen. Dave screws everything up so well you begin to wonder what side he is really on. Keith, the greatest hero of modern cinema, is tall black guy with a British accent that appears to have the only ounce of sense in the whole group. If he had been put in charge, the movie would have been too boring as no one would have died and that damn Derek would have been killed in the first five minutes. And he is johnny on the spot with his tiny revolver, saving many fools from certain death. Then there is Derek, Keith's nemesis and the greatest villan since Nicholson's Joker. This man kills without remorse on numerous occasion and is still allowed to live after being caught numerous times by the aforementioned "Dave". I mean, he slit a girl's throat for no reason, and still Dave stops Keith from capping him. Tragic. He also rips a girl's shirt off, who of course is not wearing a bra, just because. Why Derek why? What makes a man become so evil?
There you have it. In summary watch Zombie Night so your life can be complete and you can die happy.

Now, take note that I am a huge fan of ZOMBIE-SURVIVAL movies, I couldn't give a crap if a zombie movie had loads and loads of gore, what fascinates me is how the survivors survive, and what the rest of the world is going through when this is all happening. Believe it or not, this movie actually did satisfy all of my needs, although they may have did it with below-average acting, this is a pretty decent zombie SURVIVAL movie.

I want my five dollars back. This movie stole nearly two hours of my life I will never get back. This movie was utterly terrible. Where do we start? OK first the camera work was shoddy. The script was the worst piece of dung I have ever witnessed. The acting was vomit worthy, seriously this bunch of actors makes Britney Spears and K-Fed look talented. The set's were cheap and the worst I have ever seen in my life. The special effect's where where they? The director and the producer's must have been nut's to think the abomination was even good for a B movie. I could go on for hours about how terrible this movie was. In my humble opinion I think that all copies of this film should be thrown into a fire. Seriously. I recommend you stay as far away from this movie as possible. This is the worst movie I have ever seen.

Quoting a line from Pet Cemetary "dead is better" meaning that you'd rather be in a coma to get through this one.I'm a fan of zombie movies and this one elstinkso!Everything from the fight scenes,acting and production value stinks.The one female throws herself at a zombie as to say I have other things to do so get me off the set.PATHETIC!

This movie is beyond horrible. From the cap gun weapons, to the bad acting, to it having no perceptible plot. I wish I could get back the time and money I wasted on this movie. Stay away at all costs!

From a production standpoint, this may be the worst movie ever made. Still, it might be good for some cheesy laughs right? Nope...I can not think of a single reason for anyone to watch this piece of garbage.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. Killjoy and Jason X were better this horrendous atrocity! The dialogue in this movie is mind numbingly stupid. Redneck Zombies, Zombie Doom, and Premutos: Lord of the Living Dead were Shakespearian compared to this. The characters were so retarded. Whenever they are barracaded in a room and zombies come in they just stand there not showing any emotion, they don't even try to escape. That part when Derrick slicese that girls throat in front of everybody was so stupid. It wasn't even stupid in a funny way. Everybody just stood there while he murders her and then after he kills her they finally decide to grab him, but they don't kill him they just let him go. I can't stress how stupid this movie is. Its ONLY redeeming quality is that it actualy has some good gore although they didn't use it properly. The gore was well done but it wasn't shocking or entertaining. the wwriters have no idea of how to write. They kill off the guy who should have been the star of the movie. He was the first character introduced and they did the most character development with him and yet they kill him off half way through the movie. And not even his girlfriend survived. She was killed by a zombie in a acrowded room. I guess no one felt like shooting the zombie for her and guess she didn't feel like getting up to walk away from the stumbling zombie. Her boyfriends daughter who is supposed to eight but is actually thirteen just sat right beside her watching her get disemboweled. I guess she didn't feel like warning her that a zombie was about to murder her and that she better move. PLease do not buy or even rent this stupid movie.
