Horrible... Atrocious..Anemic..Vanilla...
I find it surprising that Anthony Michael Hall did this film. He had his niche series with The Dead Zone, which his acting was acceptable for the genre and for the other producers and directors associated with it. It was low budget but had a good story line.
You have a pretty good character actor in Alan Ruck whose talent is wasted and covered by the horribly poor acting of Shirley Jones and Darryl Hannah. We expect that from Shirley and Darryl though. Ruck and Hall were the only two actors that had the ability to somewhat carry this movie but the plot line is so thin and the movie only concentrates on gore, which the FX dept fails to help.
This movie is low budget, has a horrible story line and is so bad that I expected Lou Diamond Phillips to make a cameo in it at some point. 2 families attacked by zombies at night. The attack miraculously ends with daybreak so they're like zombiepires or Vamzoms...
I could have dipped my big toe in an ink well, taken an ambien and gone to sleep and woke up with a better script written in blurry ink on my bed sheets.
No one in this movie is acting. The actors that are supposedly zombies don't act much like zombies in the traditional sense. One man could have opened his panic room, let the other family in, and they could have all survived.
It's so bad that it can't be called "campy". I'd watch Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators 10 times before I'd watch this movie again, and I've watched the movie twice tonight just because I couldn't believe how bad it was the first time that I thought I had missed something.
Nope, it's that bad.
