Night of Something Strange

Good movie!

When the necrophile janitor of a morgue Cornelius (W. Johnson Wayne) has sex with the corpse of a Jane Doe that died of STD ("Sexualy Transmitted Disease"), he spreads out a deadly virus that turns the dead into sex drive zombies. Meanwhile, the former soldier Dirk (Trey Harrison) and his girlfriend Pam (Nicola Fiore) head to the Redwood Budget Motel to have sex. The teenage school friends Christine Wayne (Rebecca C. Kasek), Freddy (Michael Merchant), his girlfriend Carrie (Toni Ann Gambale), his fat and stupid cousin Jason (John Walsh) and the pothead Brooklyn (Tarrence Taylor) head to spend the weekend on the beach in a SUV but it rains and they stop their car at the same motel. Soon they are attacked by Cornelius and other zombies that want to have sex with them. The trash "Night of Something Strange" is a brainless B-movie film so bad, nasty and gory that becomes funny. The film is a big joke of bad taste beginning with the names of the characters (Christine, Freddy, Carrie, Jason). The lead actor that performs Cornelius physically recalls the unforgettable Richard "Jaws" Kiel from the 007 franchise and does not have any line along 1h 34 min. The jokes are gross and most of them are related to sex and the scenes have lots and lots of gore. The make-up is amazing and if the viewer is fan of the Troma Entertainment B-movies, he or she will certainly like "Night of Something Strange". My vote is four. Title (Brazil): Not Available

This is a helluva solid film. It's got a great cast, a great look, a quality script, and the creators took the time to make sure all the little details add up (and pay off). And for everyone out there looking for something different than the typical, safe, studio film: this is your dream. It's got a cool story, the director has an incredible and distinct voice, and it takes risks you'll never see in the average theatre (or coming out of the Hollywood system). This movie took the festival circuit by storm, and is one of the most enjoyable things I've seen in 2016. For those of you worried about a plot that involves zombies who want to sexually conquer their foes, despite the fact that this genre is typically really sexist and violent against women, these zombies are equal opportunity offenders. They're not the usual "assault the girl and kill the guy" variety, the creators don't fall into that trap. These creatures want to spread the virus, and the creators are ethical filmmakers! Also - THERE ARE SOME OF THE CRAZIEST MOMENTS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THIS MOVIE. Buy it, rent it, if it's around doing a screening in your area (at any time in the future) check it out. I've seen dozens upon dozens of indie movies this year, and this is definitely the one to see.

Hands down one of the best and funniest horror movies I've ever seen (and I've seen 'em all). Damn this was good! Just when you think it can't get worse, it does ten fold more. Jonathan Straiton pulls out all the stops and his inventive camera angles up the gruesome moments to the max. I'm not a huge fan of 'funny' or campy horror movies but this one is unique in that it's not a comedy but is hysterically funny at times. The cast is top notch. Every one played it straight to perfection. No campy or over the top performances which would have hurt an already way over the top movie. I can't imagine how this group will ever top this! I'm adding this to my review, having just seen someone wondering about all the great reviews here for a film he didn't like...every film has haters. I worked on an Oscar nominated film and see it's got a lot of 1 star ratings, lol. People are extreme..."I didn't like it so I'm giving it a '1'". So be it....that dude missed what the rest of us (and countless film festivals that voted this as audience favorite) GOT! Take a chance. You won't regret it!

I saw Night of Something Strange at the Genreblast film festival and considering the 8 hour drive it took me to get there… this film alone was well worth the effort. The film does exactly what a good movie is supposed to do… pull the viewer out of our own world and suck us into a new one… albeit in this case, a world where STD's take on a whole new meaning. The story was fantastic and original. To be honest, when I hear another zombie this or undead that, I don't get too excited. BUT when the story can be told from a fresh, often bloody and in some instances comedically absurd perspective, I'm totally in. What you don't see on screen is all the hard work, hours of sleepless worry, cramming to make a schedule and of course every film project is going to have something or someone legitimately crazy causing a ruckus. Often times the quality of story or production value suffers from a lack of expert direction on any of these and hundreds more variables effecting a film set… Not Night of Something Strange. I watched with delightful intrigue to see nice smooth compelling shots, really fun and entertaining effects, and fitting the horror/zombie genre perfectly, Night of Something Strange is going to the top of my list.

Good movie!
