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.

Uncompromisingly horrific, unflinchingly realistic, and unrelentingly intense, this is one of the finest films of utter terror to have been produced in quite some time. Director John Culager has created a cinematic experience that relies upon an intelligent script, haunting imagery, and themes of family devotion to grip the audience like a vice. It is that caring and love that truly distinguishes this motion picture from the average horror film and gives it so much heart. These are people we care about and they are played superbly by a superior cast. Anthony Michael Hall is extraordinary as a father fighting to save his family as he struggles to retain his humanity. Alan Ruck and Daryl Hannah are also superb and their presence brings a great deal of gravitas to the film. Shirley Jones is stunningly effective in a moving role she gives incredible depth. This is indeed a difficult movie to watch at times for one can not feel themselves asking the most important question presented in this film,"What would I do?" Truly powerful cinema that uses the horror genre only as a pretense to broach existential and moral issues that Hollywood too often ignores. The difficult choices made in the name of survival are vital ones and they are explored as only director John Culager has the courage to do.

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?
