Night of the Zombies

“When the Creeping Dead Devour the Living Flesh!”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 67, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Commandos wander into a zombie outbreak while mismatched wildlife footage keeps interrupting the emergency. The clumsy dialogue and borrowed horror machinery can fuel a riffing session, but slow patches and ugly exploitation make this a rougher night than the premise suggests.
