Review – Zombie Night

Oh yes it’s zombie night, and the feeling’s right, oh yes it’s zombie night, oh what a night. Seriously, if a local bar actually had zombie night then we should all dress up like zombies so we could load up on cheap drinks and get so plastered that we could reduce ourselves mentally to the state required to enjoy crap like this. Here we have further proof – which I’m quite sure wasn’t necessary – that in a world where any idiot with a video camera can make a movie, the world soon fills with movies made by idiots with video cameras. This is strictly an idiot-with-a-video-camera version of Night of the Living Dead and/or Dawn of the Dead. And that just boggles my mind. If you’re going to make a movie, why not try something original? What possible point could there be to producing something that only makes the audience wish we’d watched the older, better show? In total fairness, I admit that around an hour and 20 minutes in, my DVD player decided it had had enough. So if some flash of brilliance occurred in the last ten minutes or so, I missed it. But if the last ten were like the first 80, my player did me a favor. Wish I’d skipped it
