Reviews:
“The ridiculous script would make a night in with friends a blast, and some great gore effects elevate this beyond pure B schlock. It’s not going to make the top of a favourite list, but this is a bloody head and shoulders above most of the zombie films out there.” The Film Reel
“What makes this movie all the worse is the potential behind it: directed by John Gulager, who certainly knows his stuff from the FEAST movies (and occasionally blinks and misses it with PIRANHA 3DD), it wields a decent cast of veteran actors, including ex-Breakfast Clubber Anthony Michael Hall, ex-mermaid Daryl Hannah, ex-Starfleet Captain Alan Ruck, and ex-Partridge Family mother Shirley Jones, and the make-up is practical rather than all CGI. And the plot is as basic as rice and peas: the undead rise one night, people die, society collapses, survivors bicker, die and/or survive. How the hell do you screw that up?” Anything Horror
“The cast is an 80s dream with Anthony Michael Hall, Darryl Hannah, Alan Ruck, and Shirley Jones- Wait a minute! Shirley Jones, what are you doing here? Oh, you’re trying to break the world’s record for overacting? Good luck! Some of the zombie makeup is pretty good and some is really bad. Speaking of inconsistent, the movie sets up some strange rules for the zombies. Does a zombie bite make you turn into a zombie or not? Why does the sun coming up mean that the zombie apocalypse will be over?” Doomed Moviethon
