Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

hwg1957-102-265704 Zombie Nights is the story of zombies coming out for one night and various characters trying to avoid been bitten, eaten or generally killed off. Once dead the dead come back to life so you know people killed off early will re-appear later to add drama as they are killed again by a loved one poignantly. All this sounds good but unfortunately the film is a series of usual zombie tropes and an unsympathetic cast that are unconvincing in their roles so that one looks forward to seeing them getting eaten. There are many hilarious moments as the characters behave in monumentally stupid ways. Hiding in a glass greenhouse? Not running away when they easily can? Putting their children in a coffin? There is a comical scene where a girl is up a tree so to distract the zombie below she drops her shoe which interests the zombie then to make him go away she tosses her other shoe which he follows. Is this the first example of a zombie with a shoe fetish? Well at least that's different.The zombie make-up isn't too bad and the gore effects OK but apart from that this is a long night to sit through. It also wastes decent actors like Shirley Jones and Darryl Hannah. Ah, The Asylum.

DigitalRevenantX7 A Californian town is hit with a zombie plague where the dead rise & walk around for 24 hours. Two families attempt to fight each other for the control of a panic room in one of their houses but their feuding only gives the zombies added opportunities for a meal.This is yet another of the ultra-cheap, insanely rapid turnaround features from the Asylum, an independent production studio that has become infamous in previous years for its mockbusters (ultra-cheap knockoffs of big budget Hollywood films designed to make an easy buck by fooling customers into renting or buying them). However, after a recent deal with the Syfy Channel, the Asylum has abandoned its bread & butter mockbusters for something worse – ultra-cheap generic monster films.Zombie Night is a film that at first glance might not be considered as anything other than an ultra-cheap zombie film with some familiar faces & a reliance on cheap makeup effects & a pedestrian plot. On closer inspection, the faults only get worse. The Asylum makes it a practice to rush their projects through from start to finish in only a month or less. They have improved their skill at this to the point that Zombie Night looks more polished than some of the mockbusters they had previously done (& for once there is not a ridiculously cheap CGI effect in sight). But only slightly.I could make my case on the rushed production values alone but there are some other problems, mostly in the writing stage. Personally I can write a film script in under 30 days with reasonable attention to detail & a cohesive story with no plot holes. The Asylum's stock troupe of writers (some of which do double or even triple duties in other areas of the production) seem to use up only about a week or so for their scripts. This might be achieved by cutting corners on the narrative to the point that nothing makes any real sense. Zombie Night might have three writers on board but it seems that they might have only written a rough draft & gotten that pushed through without revising it. The characters here have no real motivation other than simply reacting to things around them. The Romero template has been so commonly used & adapted for so long that the basics for zombie mythology have been taken for granted, to the point that the premise for Zombie Night – that of a 24-hour zombie plague – might be seen as normal for those who don't normally watch horror films, but for us dedicated horror fans, this kind of ridiculousness cannot pass by without us noticing it. The aforementioned 24-hour zombie plague is stupid & doesn't make any sense – zombies will not, once activated, last for only 24 hours. They will last for as long as their bodies hold out, which is almost indefinitely (or in some cases, if decomposition is halted, even forever). And the other thing I noticed that broke standard zombie rules was that some characters are bitten but do not turn into zombies – another violation of zombie film rules.Zombie Night might have gotten my "poor" rating if not for the fact that director John Gulager, the son of actor Clu Gulager & a decent director in his own right, has done a remarkable job in investing the zombie attacks with a reasonable degree of energy. While Zombie Night might not reinvent the zombie wheel or even be considered a passable zombie film, it did have some reasonably energetic zombie attacks & the basics were not completely violated enough to be a real turkey. A dodgy but not entirely uninteresting zombie flick.

Ashwin Sathish Nair Warning : The following paragraph is sarcastic. The movie is very complicated.It makes us think and wonder in many ways: 1.The zombies suddenly rise out of the ground on one day.Where were they till now?Playing Poker or something?What the hell?Why did they come up? 2.A girl gets attacked by a zombie in the middle of a road.Where does she run off to for safety? - A cemetery. What the hell? 3.Usually horror movies make us want the people to survive and escape the horror. But this one. It actually makes us want the characters who are acting dead so that we don't want them to live anymore to make us suffer. 4.I was alone in the big theater(Here in India), and I still didn't get scared.It had comedy,adventure and all other crap but it missed the one thing it needed most-Horror. 5.In the movie it lasts for one night and when the sun comes up the zombies died. But what happens when it turn night again? Zombie Night 2 ? What the hell?The movie is a waste of time and energy and just sucks the joy out of your life. PS. Why did they have that old lady in the movie? She just made me wanna rip the screen off.

gavin6942 Zombies come out at night and two families must survive until morning.By now, I think we all know to expect bad things from the SyFy Channel and the movies they show. And if you are familiar with the Asylum, who makes these movies, you know that they spare every expense in order to pump out low-grade, low-budget fluff. Some of it is entertaining (I confess), but none of it has ever been good.Somehow they managed to get some real actors on board for this one. Not just one washed up actor (I am looking at you, Eric Roberts) but some decent names -- Anthony Michael Hall and Daryl Hannah. Alan Ruck may not have the name recognition, but everyone recognizes him from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" or "Spin City".The most unfortunate thing is that the director is John Gulager, who is a legitimately talented man -- "Feast" was incredible, and I absolutely loved "Piranha 3DD". Somehow not even he could save this picture... how did they all get roped into working for the Asylum?
