Terrible, terrible. The filmmakers didn't take themselves very serious. Which was their greatest flaw. This is what happens when a film is devoid of anything serious; bad decisions are made. There is no sign of serious filmmaking. They weren't serious about casting. They weren't serious about story. They weren't serious about lighting/composition. How can intentional cheesy dialogue be effective when the actor is incapable of delivering the lines? And the cinematography was awful. With zero motivated lighting except to be able to see what is in frame. No redeeming qualities. I am shocked to read any positive reviews for this film. I'm starting to think that the positive reviews were written by friends/family of the filmmakers.

Starting to think that the filmmakers encouraged friends to give this movie positive reviews.
It was strange alright...
It was the movie's cover/poster that initially caught my attention, and it looked very much like a 1980's horror movie. I read the synopsis and then decided to sit down and watch "Night of Something Strange".
And let me just be the first to say that "Night of Something Strange" turned out to be something rather different than what I had expected. So for better or worse? Well, honestly, it was for the latter.
The storyline in "Night of Something Strange" turned out to be rather ridiculous, and it was really difficult to get into the groove of the movie and get immersed into the storyline.
The acting in the movie was actually quite adequate, taking into consideration the budget of the movie and the type of movie that it is. So the acting talents actually did good jobs with the limitations imposed on them.
"Night of Something Strange" certainly had some fun enough moments, but they were outweighed by the inadequacies and lacks that the movie was weighed down by. As such, it wasn't a very memorable or enjoyable movie. And it was quite difficult to take anything in the movie serious.
The special effects in the movie were as to be expected from a movie of this caliber. So don't get your hopes up.
Normally I am a big zombie aficionado, but "Night of Something Strange" just was way too far out there, even for my liking.
My rating of "Night of Something Strange" lands on a less than mediocre 4 out of 10 stars.
Campy, gory, disgusting fun
I think the movie is exactly what it set out to be: a completely over the top gory comedy, a zombie movie inspired by the likes of Army of Darkness and Cooties and Braindead and Zombeavers. I mean, it starts with a necrophiliac who gets infected from a corpse and proceeds to turn and rape his mother. It only gets more disgusting from there.
Overall it was fun, but you've got to be in the mood. It's not for everybody and if you think your girlfriend could watch this with you, you are probably wrong. It's nothing really special, but it was original and fresh.
