SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Ephereal Mordendarke I wanted to watch this based solely on the title alone. I went into this film with a low expectation and even then I was left disappointed. I have only ever switched off one movie in my life, this came very close to being the second.The basis of the movie sounded quirky enough, and with an STD involved you have to expect some sex or nudity to be involved, but this is just a whole other level of BAD. I expected something along the lines of 'Teeth', 'Ash vs Evil Dead', 'Even lambs have teeth'or even 'It Follows' with a slightly camp edge. How-ever the delivery is like something out of a high-school dick and fart movie. The jokes are cheap, and the 'comedy' is crass. If you took the overcharged sexual highs of American Pie, the awkward cringe of Inbetweeners, and the OTT gross out comedy horror of early Peter Jackson. Cram it all together and remove any sense of direction, intellect or heart and you have this movie.The movie only JUST begins to pick up, right before it ends leaving you feeling disappointed and cheated.

Mike Snyder You have to like B style movies to appreciate this flick. It was hilarious throughout the whole movie. The practical effects with minimal CG effects gives this a bump up in stars for me. While there was some fill in with CG, it was done tastefully. I loved the story, it was outrageous, funny, and entertaining. If there was more boob action it would have been the perfect B style movie. 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. This is defiantly going on my list of best B movies of 2016. Just be prepared for outrageous, campy fun!

Coventry I've been a horror fan for my entire life and even daresay that I kept up with the trends and hypes fairly well, but during "Night of Something Strange", my mind made an unpleasant reflection for the very first time… Suddenly it occurred to me that I might be getting too old for this genre! This particular film is so incredibly infantile and tasteless that it bothered me tremendously, yet the rest of the crowded theater at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFFF) seemingly couldn't get enough of all the filth and cheered out loud. This can only mean one thing, namely that trash like this is now considered the standard for undemanding horror entertainment. Don't get me wrong, I always appreciated low- brained and trashy horror flicks with sleazy subject matter, gratuitous sex footage and over-the-top gory make-up effects (like for example all 80s slashers), but "Night of Something Strange" truly reaches new heights in terms of vulgarity. We're talking necrophilia, genital mutilation, retarded jokes involving feces, massive fake penises and cum showers, vaginas with teeth (!) and bizarre worm-monsters crawling out of all possible body holes. The film starts with repulsive hospital janitor Cornelius climbing on top of a young woman's corpse in the mortuary, and the camera gradually zooms out towards the medical tag on her toe which states that she died from an unidentified sexually transmitted disease. Later that night, our janitor suffers from agonizing pains and turns into a type of perverted zombie. He rapes – and thus contaminates – his own wife and then they go their separate ways, which naturally sets in motion a humongous epidemic. Meanwhile, seven of the most sex-obsessed high-school teenagers in the world are heading out for a spring break holiday at the coast. They stop for the night at the Redwood Motel, but eerie Cornelius and several more STD-zombies are already prowling the area. It will be a night full of sexual outbursts, but not exactly the kind these horny kids are hoping for… It was stated in the BIFFF program booklet that "Night of Something Strange" is inspired by 80s classics like "Night of the Creeps" and "The Blob". There's definitely truth in that, but at least back then the sleaze was mainly suggestive and the humor was slightly more mature. Numerous sequences are simply retarded and downright embarrassing for the young actors involved. I genuinely felt a surrogate sense of shame for the kid who played Freddy and I wonder if he seriously still aspires a proper acting career after this. And yet, I cannot be entirely negative… Looking at the film's poster and title, it's fairly clear that you shouldn't expect an intelligent and suspenseful horror masterpiece. Writer/director Jonathan Straiton's main objective is to amuse a specific target audience with gooey splatter and crazy plot twists, and he definitely succeeds in doing that. 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.

trashgang Not knowing what to expect from this one I saw it was supposed to be a funny horror. Funny horrors mostly doesn't work out but there are exceptions like this one.Let me be straight, this is a no-brainer. Just sit and enjoy. For some people this will be over the top because it's all about teens eager to have sex and terribly going wrong but you will see if you watching this flick. The flick starts immediately with pure horror and before you know it you are into a funny ride full of gore gore ,a bit of nudity and gore. I can't spoil what is going on but it all starts with necrophilia. From there on the virus is on his way to conquer the world. And just when you think that this flick is falling down on humour when a guy is having sex in the dark with his girlfriend, you're in for another ride of...well, just pick this up if you do like for example Tucker And Dale (2010) or the Ash vs Evil Dead series. I enjoyed it a lot and had a smile throughout the whole flick.Gore 3/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 4/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 2/5
