Memorable, crazy movie

Just what I expected

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

semi spoiler alert. After stopping this film several times i finally watched it and boy am i sorry. other reviews get it bang on regarding the fact that absolutely none of the characters deserve to live as they have to be the most stupid annoying people in the world. they have iPhone's but have never heard of zombies and oh by the way shoot them in the head, the policeman was a waste of time and you kind of think that in a zombie apocalypse it would be the psychopaths and bikers who would survive as if all suburban people where like these they would be dead in seconds. the writers must have written this in 30 minutes as no thought and direction was given to any of the characters which were wooden and frankly ridiculous and very annoying. yeah lets run into a glasshouse? hmm. so many zombie movies are made on the cheap but i would rather watch a zombie movie made for 5ooo dollars with a great script than a million dollar turkey.

Getting out of a traffic jam caused by a grisly accident, wealthy Anthony Michael Hall (as Patrick Jackson) stops his car near a graveyard. Attractive daughter Rachel G. Fox (as Tracie) squeals, "Ewwwe!" The plot is simple. Intending to duplicate their numbers, recently dead people get up in a global "Zombie Night". Later, we later learn that living people who make it through the night will survive. This TV movie has zero story structure and near-zero character development. While director John Gulager and his crew show some level of filmmaking competency, it doesn't add up to anything. The characters come on screen and die, or not die. You have no reason to care what happens. Those who staged the gore might have careers worth saving. Others need should seek better work or alternate careers. The most recognizable credit may be Shirley Jones, who plays an annoying old lady. Her hair looks nice. In fact, everyone's hair looks good... Thank you, key hair stylist Sarah Bonnel! ** Zombie Night (2013-10-26) John Gulager ~ Anthony Michael Hall, Daryl Hannah, Alan Ruck, Shirley Jones

I would first like to say, that the comprehension skills of the individuals depicted in this movie rank right up there with a snail...in fact, a snail would probably catch on quicker. The main protagonist hits a man with his car, but when he gets out to check him, the injured guy attacks one of the girls in the car...she screams for 15 seconds or so, yet when the driver turns to look it's as though this is the first time he's seen her...is he deaf? The few cops that you see in the movie are so un-cop-like that they are more like parodies than actual police. You couldn't possibly be that stupid, and live as long as they have. Wooden acting by the 'stars' of this movie simply enhance the trite foolishness of the entire film...but the crowning jewel is still the staggeringly mindless inability of the people in the movie to comprehend any of the events going on around them. The events in this movie take place, I assume, sometime in this century and one would imagine that somebody in this film would have seen a zombie movie...they've been making them for 40+ years...after all how long would it take you to figure out what was going on?

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?
