Reception
Michael Storey of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette called it a sub-par zombie film that lacks humor or camp. Brian Lowry of Variety called it "a brain-dead exploitation pic" that is "an almost comically amateurish effort". Andrew Dowler of Now wrote, "Zombie Night brings enough energy, skill and gore to its basic Night Of The Living Dead story to provide light entertainment on a chilly night."
