Mark (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.
I watched this movie last night and I am going to blockbuster today to demand that they remove it from their shelves.I was seriously surprised that there were credits at the end, people were actually willing to admit they had something to do with the creation of this movie. At some point you think someone would've stopped and said, "Hey, this is absolute crap, we should stop right now and quit movies forever." Seriously, at some point during the filming, editing, screening or any number of junctions in movie making someone should have called it off.The pinnacle of the awfulness was the scene at the stairs when the zombies broke through the "barricade." If you watch (not very) closely you can see one of the "zombies" flinch at a falling crate. Flinch as in, move fast to avoid something falling on your toe. I almost took the DVD out and broke it in half when, about 10 seconds later, pitchfork guy requests a bullet to the head before having even been touched by a zombie.Good God.
If 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.
OK let me start by saying that i APPRECIATE a 'bad' low budget movie, if it has effort. I mean i had a Public Access Show in Atlanta GA in 1999 where people sent me stuff (for you kids, Public Access is how you got stuff played before YouTube), and even though the movies were cheap and low budget and technically 'bad', it was for that type of genre. If they had sent me this movie to play on Public Access, i would've shown it. But Public Access is as far as this should ever get.I can't believe this made it to national distribution. Acting is god-awful. all the way around. Editing and plot are terrible; all of a sudden you might be thrown into a mass zombie attack which lasts 2 seconds, then everyone is safe and sound again talking about how dangerous everything was. The plot is disastrous. the ubiquitous bad guy in the group (and the group keeps growing/shrinking mysteriously with no explanation) murders one of the girls in cold blood, and the good guys, in revenge, rather than killing badguy outright, decide to punish him by sending him to the zombies. of course the dude who sends him to the zombies never returns but butthole badguy survives. Then the movie ends with a lame salute at a 'butch cassidy & the sundance kid' ending. really, really bad movie.
