Zombie Nights

I'll admit that while I love just about anything zombie, especially movies, this is one that requires some patience.

It starts out badly with bad direction and some weak scripting, but it does get better, then gets worse and then gets better.  I guess the best way to capture it is to say it's uneven.

This is an Asylum production and they are the company that tries to beat big budget movies out with a quick and cheap DVD release.  So corners are cut and there's not a lot of originality.  

It has a decent cast with Anthony Michael Hall of The Dead Zone, Daryll Hannah of Splash, and Alan Ruck of Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  Plus there's Shirley Jones, former momma on The Partridge Family.  

The weak start hurts the movie, but it does get better.  It did have a long way to go to get to good, but it almost reaches decent.
