The weakest part about Night of Something Strange is its rather generic title. This was quite the fun and disgusting effort. 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. Overall it was fun, but you've got to be in the mood. Good times are cut short when one of the group, Carrie, contracts a deadly sexual transmitted disease during a bathroom stop.
This extreme, very extreme and extremely funny, over the line gore andbloody extravaganzas will make you cream your jeans, it is that good. But as aggressively as Night of Something Strange pursues the gross-out humor it still maintains a level of charm due to the actors' performances. Just be prepared for outrageous, campy fun! I'veseen dozens upon dozens of indie movies this year, and this isdefinitely the one to see. The filmstarts with repulsive hospital janitor Cornelius climbing on top of ayoung woman's corpse in the mortuary, and the camera gradually zoomsout towards the medical tag on her toe which states that she died froman unidentified sexually transmitted disease. So the acting talents actually did good jobs with the limitations imposed on them.
It's nothing really special, but it wasoriginal and fresh. I genuinelyfelt a surrogate sense of shame for the kid who played Freddy and Iwonder if he seriously still aspires a proper acting career after this. The make-up effects were quite professional, the tiny sub plot ofthe deranged motel owner was surprisingly inventive and most of theannoying characters died in ways that were even more painful than Ihoped for. And the filmmakers have balls, taking things to a level rarely dared. Overall it was fun, but you've got to be in the mood.

Not Night of Something Strange. For gorehounds, this is absolutely a must see, you will not be sorry. 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. And it has one of the best music scores I've ever heard in a low budget indie. Numerous sequences are simply retardedand downright embarrassing for the young actors involved. The film does exactly what a good movie is supposed to do? Well, honestly, it was for the latter. Then there aremovies like this one, which relish in being graphic.
The acting is beyond atrocious. I mean, it startswith a necrophiliac who gets infected from a corpse and proceeds toturn and rape his mother. Later that night, ourjanitor suffers from agonizing pains and turns into a type of pervertedzombie. Five teenage friends set out for the beach on their Spring Break vacation. Later that night, our janitor suffers from agonizing pains and turns into a type of perverted zombie. For the rest of us, we will steer far away from this garbage. The only real complaint I had was the overdub of audio, I don't know what they did, but it sounded as if the audio was rerecorded.
And for everyone out there lookingfor something different than the typical, safe, studio film: this isyour dream. Synopsis Five teenage friends set out for the beach on their Spring Break vacation. It's not foreverybody and if you think your girlfriend could watch this with you,you are probably wrong. In addition, that provides this one with somefantastic zombie make-up and gore effects which is what really mattersin this one. Meanwhile, seven of the most sex-obsessed high-schoolteenagers in the world are heading out for a spring break holiday atthe coast. The make-up effects were quite professional, the tiny sub plot of the deranged motel owner was surprisingly inventive and most of the annoying characters died in ways that were even more painful than I hoped for.
It was hilarious throughout the whole movie. Everyone ends up at some point at some gas station, includingthe janitor and later at a motel where they are attacked by thesesex-crazed zombies. Meanwhile, seven of the most sex-obsessed high-school teenagers in the world are heading out for a spring break holiday at the coast. To be honest, when I hear another zombie this or undead that, I don't get too excited. And yet, I cannot be entirely negative Looking at the film's posterand title, it's fairly clear that you shouldn't expect an intelligentand suspenseful horror masterpiece.
I appreciate graphics horror movies, not so much graphic comedies, butNight of Something Strange blends the two well to create surprises andshocking scenes at every turn. I mean, it starts with a necrophiliac who gets infected from a corpse and proceeds to turn and rape his mother. It's got a great cast, a great look, aquality script, and the creators took the time to make sure all thelittle details add up and pay off. The story was fantastic and original. You'll be amazed by the stuff they comeup with here.
The later scenes atthe motel are just as good, going from the absurd way it transfers thecurse through the friends and how they finally end up battling with thecreatures as the inability to stop them with conventional means allowsfor plenty of strong action and tons of bloodletting that gets carriedout here as it goes for the flat-out funny finale that really ends thison a positive note. Good times are cut short when one of the group, Carrie, contracts a deadly sexual transmitted disease during a bathroom stop. And it was quite difficult to take anything in the movie serious. So don't get your hopes up. However, there's more going on at the motel than meets the eye. It only gets more disgusting from there. These creatures want to spread the virus, and the creators areethical filmmakers! The movie is also for the most part well-shot with smart camera work especially the night time stuff.
