Zombie Night (2003)

I cannot justify even giving this movie a single star.It is bad.No, even worse than bad. There is no adjective in the English language that appropriately describes how awful this movie is.I will admit that there are a couple of good zombie kills, but the acting, sound quality, video quality, plot, continuity, believibility, and setting are all really bad.Somehow, they even managed to do a bad job with the nudity scenes.If you want to get drunk and make fun of this movie with your buddies, then this movie will serve you a purpose, but if you want to enjoy watching a scary movie, look elsewhere.

The story is not original, not coherent and not enjoyable to watch. It's nothing more than lame idiots (how many no one really knows as the numbers inexplicably keep changing) running around trying to survive zombie attacks.The characters aren't very interesting in the first place --- just a bunch of dumb clichés. Even so, the acting is pathetic and these people should be embarrassed. It's more than just what they say, their actions and movements are all off and out of sync with nearly every scene.The DIALOGUE is deplorable. The last time I heard characters repeatedly speak in such a stilted manner was in those old Saturday morning cartoons from the 1970s.The writers really ruined this movie; if you don't start with a well written story there's no sense in even making a movie.

I am a huge zombie movie fan and have watched all of George Romero's movies, and every independent, grade B, or mainstream zombie movie that I find I watch. This one was the worst I have EVER seen, scratch that this is not the worst zombie movie, this is the worst movie PERIOD.To start with I know kids who lie to their parents more convincingly than the actors in this movie acted. It didn't seem like the actors where just inexperienced, it seemed like they where all mentally challenged with mouths full of marbles.The zombie gore effects where also terrible with the camera lingering to show wriggling gummy worms and pieces of raw meat moving up and down with the rhythm of the zombies heart beat, and zombies chewing down a sausage link (intestines) and not even taking a real bite out of it???? The gunfire was made with $99.00 effects Lab software or possibly the lite free version, it seemed. The ballistics and flash didn't match up to the weapons and the weapons where lame and generic.The people being attacked just stood like mannequins to be eaten by the zombies, there was not any "AI or Artificial Intelligence" as they put it in the gaming world. The zombies where so slow in this movie you could outrun them with broken legs, but, healthy young adults couldn't outrun them??? The plot and concept where not original and there where huge jumps or gaps in the plot. I would only recommend this movie to people that I hate with a passion. No wait, I don't hate ANYONE that bad.

CHIM CHIM the Video Monkey ([email protected]) says "That Dave Francis, writer/director, really knows his zombie stuff." Man, who are you trying to kid here ?!?! This was by far the worst zombie movie I have ever seen !! And I hate the fact that the creators of this movie pretend to be someone else and get on here and give this movie 10 stars. I don't even know if I wanna give this poor excuse of a film any stars at all.Okay, first of all: The acting, GOD AWFUL. Who the hell casted these nobodies, Helen Keller ?!?! The location was crap too. The movie is supposed to take place in a post-war ravaged world, right ? Gee, never would've guessed it what with the cars passing by in the background on a freeway.I am not gonna blame the budget whatsoever on why this movie was crap. Hell, George Romero made a movie with less, and look how great he is. And that's another thing, the script sucks because all it did was rip off Romero.And another thing that's kinda lame is the fact that the zombies only come out at night. I will admit, it's something a little new with the zombie genre, but the fact is that it makes the zombies less threatening, so that sucks !Okay, and get this, the bad guy, Derek, he keeps screwing people over and he even kills a girl, and the "leader" of the group, Dave, lets him go. Okay, if i were Dave, I would've shot him in both kneecaps and let those zombies eat them. AND WHERE THE HELL DID ALL OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS COME FROM ?!?!?!?! God, I wish Dave Francis would just give up on film-making, but no ! He's making a sequel. He better get it right this time.So I understand that someone died during post-production, now I'm sorry for this loss, but seriously, don't use that as an excuse to pass off this movie as a good B-Movie. This was an F-Movie, all the way ! 1/10 ... though it deserves a -10000 / 10 !
