I'm surprised no one has called this film "hilarious" in the IMDb reviews yet. The acting, dialogue, violence and overall plot are laughable and occasionally hilarious. Not as good (as in funny) as The Room or Robot Monster, but it has it's moments. 2/10 for filmmaking (there's one well done sequence in the old woman's house, and the beginning wasn't awful), 6/10 as a comedy.

Read a lot of reviews on this so watched it to see how it squared up.The first thing I noticed is that as it appears is EXACTLY how it was conceived. By that I meant it was made and acted to be a 50s or 60s B movie....and they pulled it off brilliantly.has a marvelous Twilight Zone feel to it and hams up the genre superbly.If you think about it , it's ;like playing a piano badly..( Look up Les Dawson on you tube)...you have to be well trained in how to make the notes sound just bad enough for you to recognise. I think all the negative reviewers have missed the point entirely and have had the wool pulled well and truly over their eyes. When they realise this they will feel fools.Imagine The Day Of The Triffids meets Creepshow...this is what you get.To all the amateur reviewers and movie watchers I say this.." Open your eyes "!!

This is the movie with the best idea, but the worst directing and script ever. Mark Wahlberg is a fiasco, as Zoe (and I don't want to say this like them both) but unfortunately both are terrible in this movie. Why did you allowed this to happen? As for the director... You need to be more humble, it's obvious that your ideas are good, but they come across pretentious and fake. Get better.

First, a spoiler alert--I can't illustrate how truly awful this movie is without specific examples that include descriptions of the scenes and the dialog. Maybe just saying it's awful is a spoiler (this is my first IMDb review)...so I'll add that I can't say everyone will dislike it as much as I did.The best part of this film is the sped-up clouds behind the opening credits, which Night copied from what, like a billion cliché videos and films? It's all down hill from there. Just about one minute into the first scene, the nonsensical action, bad script and stilted acting burst out like water from a fire-hose. No more than a minute later, it's clear that this scene makes no sense, and the classic B-movie characteristics start to emerge like cockroaches in a bad horror film--the oddly loud overdubbed breath of surprise, everyone except the protagonist (who, we find out a scene or two later, is not the protagonist) being frozen as if time has stopped, the person right next to her can't hear what she's saying (hasn't everyone seen Carnival of Souls?), the "suspense" when the girl grabs a 9-inch hair pin from her coif and (much too slowly, even though it's only about 3 seconds) does the obvious with it...Scene 2 opens with a construction worker telling a joke that makes no sense whatsoever. After the nonsensical joke, what is supposed to be a person but clearly is some kind of mannequin plops into a pile of debris. It happens so fast that no one possibly could tell who it was (you can't even glean a flash of what clothes the supposed person was wearing), but the character I would call Construction Worker #1 exclaims, "Christ, McKenzie fell." And so it goes...from minute to minute, second to second, it continues to get worse. Bad dialog, bad acting, bad directing. However, I must add that even the best actor can't act his or her way out of a script this terrible.Despite what I wrote in the first paragraph, I'm going to recommend that no one waste even one minute on this film.
