Stevieboy666 Review of Night of the Zombies

Night of the Zombies (1981)

I've seen some bad zombie movies but this is probably the worst

[1/10 · 30 July 2020]

This is one of those horror movies that has been released under several different titles and with different running times. I watched it as The Chilling which clocked in at a short 75 minutes - only those 75 minutes felt so much longer. Incredibly poor film, there is nothing good about it, the highlight for me was a laughable "special" effect of a zombie turning into a plastic skeleton! The acting is as amateur as it gets, our dull as dishwater "hero" just mumbles his way through a cringe worthy script, the picture quality and sound are awful, the zombie make-up is very poor and I pretty much gave up trying to make sense of the ludicrous plot. Director Joel M. Reed may deserve cult status for his Blood Sucking Freaks but this is just an abomination.
