User Reviews

"Zombies…I believe you call them."

The box says Night of the Zombies but the opening titles say Night of the Zombies 2. I'll call it Part 2 and call it a bad Part 2 at that. If you're watching a zombie movie about Nazi's, it's bound to be bad. Zombie Lake, Bloodsucking Nazi Zombies, they're all terrible. This one is a real snoozer complete with stock footage of the Pentagon and laughing zombies. The funniest thing though is the props: radiation detector (hair dryer) and foam sprayer (jet pack from a 50's sci-fi flick). The twist ending is not bad, but most people will quit watching after the first ten minutes. I know I wanted to. Even the most hardcore zombie fans will get no enjoyment out of this movie.

"We zombies are destined to rule the universe."
