Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

TheLittleSongbird I've made no secret of disliking The Asylum's films, and saw Night of the Dead out of curiosity and to see if The Asylum were going to make something tolerable. I Am Omega is their best film and that only ranges from mediocre to decent. Night of the Dead is not their worst but I'm afraid I have to counterbalance the positive reviews and say that I didn't like it at all. The lack of originality was a problem, as there is nothing that is surprising at all here, but not the biggest problem. In terms of story it was the pace that was the let down. It unfolds very slowly, nothing wrong with that providing that the story itself is interesting, in Night of the Dead's case it wasn't, coming across as insipid and dull instead. The stupidity of some scenes is overwhelming, I never bought the idea that the characters even in the same buildings could be so oblivious to everything that's going on. The scene with the frog is over far too quickly and none of the attacks are suspenseful or horrifying. Some have said the gore was creative, I personally found it very phony and eventually somewhat excessive also. Technically, Night of the Dead is no better. The special effects are artificial and the editing is choppy. Things get even worse in written quality, with dialogue that is hackneyed and reeks of cheese and characters that are never developed and annoyed the heck out of me, in fact not in a while have I seen characters from any film act so stupid. The acting is also awful, there is a strong impression that nobody wanted to be there and with dialogue and characters as bad as they were I am not surprised. I personally found the leads to be too bland to have one ounce of likability. If there is one redeeming quality, it is a semi-decent last 10 minutes, it is at least decently paced and has some tension. However it does come far too late, especially considering that by the halfway mark I seriously did consider turning the film off, but being fair I stuck with it. Overall, really awful with next to nothing to like about it. 1/10 Bethany Cox

bsc1012 When I was watching the Chiller Channel yesterday, they were hyping up this movie. It sort of looked good. So I tuned in. After 10 minutes, I was just done. I mean, the plot was old, the accents were unnecessary, and it just felt like a horrible, stupid remake of Night of the Living Dead. After the frog scene, I was just like "This is ridiculous." I thought this movie was going to live up to my standards, but it didn't even come close. This was an awful film. Very bloody and horrific. My sister turned an uncanny shade of green by watching the doctor's daughter eat the body parts, and she loves horror movies. I felt very sick too. It was an overuse of blood and guts. I know it was supposed to be a zombie-eats-human-parts movie, but they strongly overdid the blood. Awful screenplay. Terrible film.

Poe-17 Before writing this review I tried to imagine how to write a spoiler ... couldn't manage it. Nonetheless - avoid this review if you are allergic to spoilers. This movie was made for Zombie Movie fans. Remember "The Asylum presents" - that should tell you a lot about this Zombie entry. It is a very contemporary Zombie entry in that it's not trying to break ground or use cinematic horror as social commentary (ala Romero). It obeys the needs of Zombie aficionado in film and video games. It isn't a homage but it doesn't really "steal" from predecessors as much as it "lifts" from them because once you're in Zombie territory there are expectations. This won both "Chicago Horror Film Festival" and "Shriekfest" and I don't know what either of those mean. But winning is a good thing. Very bloody, dripping and running-red is staple; internal organs are cast members; scooping edible brains with your hand; guts are a given; floors slippery with red grue; characters spend most of their air time covered in streaks of dark and oozing red. We go over the top and over the edge ... if I'm a Zombie, I might chew away the abdominal flesh, shove my entire head into the torso and withdraw chewing on intestines .... smack! I gave this an 8 of 10, docked two points because of originality. I wanted to give it more but it just borrowed too much. Still, what it did, it did very well for its intended audience. I'm not its intended audience. I've seen it, I'm glad I did but I won't be owning it, however, the hardcore "zombie" fans probably will. It has that storytelling essence that lifts it above "rip offs" and "sorry emulation". It has un-explored elements of gore. It also combines the blackest of tongue-in-cheek comedy with a very different "mad scientist" role by Louis Graham. After watching it you want to see a Disney film just to put your life in balance. Horror films are having a tough time right now, this one knocked a home run.

Lizanne Webb I think Eric is all about having fun! And not being afraid to have GORY fun in the industry! He's like the kid who runs into the kitchen to glee-ishly show mom the squishy worms he just dug up in his muddy palm. He knows he'll get that Ooooooo ... ICK! and aghast look of horror ... followed by a loving giggle. Anyone who misses the mastery in achieving this will miss the skill of Eric Forsberg.If you're gonna step into it ... STEP INTO IT!!! I think Eric dove in head first. And as shockingly gross as this film was (YEAH!!!) it provided moments of well-placed humor.The performance by Lola Forsberg was touching. Gee, did I say that about a horror gross-out film? Yep! Hollywood, keep your eye on her.Watch it the first time to adjust to it ... watch it the second time to just enjoy it.I have a further note on the Message Boards for this film.Liz
