Night of the Zombies Trailers

Investigators search for soldiers' missing bodies, and hear unbelievable rumors about zombies. Dismissing those rumors they set out to investigate. After two men are found dead, CIA special-agent Nick Monroe is sent to flush out what are suspected to be deserters from the old U.S. Army Chemical Corps unit. Not to be confused with the 1980 Italian film of the same name (in USA).

And I so agree with the above quote from one of the characters in this film! One of the worst zombie films I've ever seen and one of the worst films of any genre when it comes to it.This is the video version on the cheapie DVD I got and only runs 75 minutes but in this case that is a blessing it's not the full length one. It took me all my diminishing strength to struggle through the short running time, don't think I could have managed anymore. Felt quite zombiefied myself at the end...Jamie Gillis made his name in porn films and as is fitting, his performance here is 'wooden' too. Then again, he showed little passion in the adult films I've seen him in either, easy to see why he never made it in mainstream movies.As noted by other reviewers, the story makes little sense, and when did foam become a weapon against zombies? I must have missed that 'Zombie 101' class. The technology of film-making has improved over the years but sadly, inept filmmakers are still with us.The actual plot is pretty good, World War 2 zombie soldiers still fighting a war long over but it's totally wasted here. It's been done so much better in the pages of 'Weird War Tales,' a comic from the 1970's from DC comics, which specialised in this sort of horror tales.Go pick up a back issue and don't waste your money on this rubbish.

Imagine a movie with a completely nonsensical plot, something about zombie soldiers left over from World War II. Now slap a bit of blue make-up on someone's face and call them a member of the undead. Not convinced? You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till you experience the face melting of one of these creatures, you won't know whether to laugh or cry. Special effects? I could have done better with some crayons and a piece of paper. And how's about the out of synch sound, the outrageously fake Germans and the not entirely convincing stabbing scenes?As you can guess, this project was probably made with the change at the back of the director's sofa. Still, it wasn't all bad.. I did catch up on some sleep the first hour it was on. Sadly, duty bound to review it I had to rewind. You should be proud of me, I lasted for all of 50 minutes before fast-forwarding the rest. From what I gather, there is a big ACTION CLIMAX near the end involving those stunningly realistic cadavers attacking a bunch of hapless humans. This is shot and acted so ineptly that it quickly becomes a comedy masterpiece. There's plenty of unintentional laughs before that, but this scene really takes the cake. My final thought when the mess was over was "What were they thinking?!" Nothing else needs to be said really.. 0/10

Don't even waste your time. It's not worth the effort to even remain conscious during this one. Minimal zombie footage, lousy and painfully annoying characters, terrible/not even amusing acting, lots of random stock footage for some reason. One minute they're off the coast of Europe and the next they're randomly in Africa. As for the plot, I didn't catch one. Something about a crazed, radioactive rat escaping its cage and biting some scientist guy on the neck. Scientist becomes zombie, attacks all the other scientists, whole island suddenly turns into zombies.More people should have died a lot sooner in this one.

Some films are so bad they are worth watching as comedies. This isn't. It's a complete waste of time and effort. For a more entertaining evening, try watching paint dry. Fortunately it is now rarely seen in theatres, saving you the bother of not seeing it.
