Review of Night of the Naked Dead

. . . and that it's crazy that I give a "thumbs down" mark of "one" to fewer than 1% of the movies I watch, and that I am too tender-hearted about giving "bonus points" for "effort" or "participation." Since NIGHT OF THE NAKED DEAD shows NO evidence of honest effort or even thoughtful participation, I feel few qualms about shafting this sleepwalk with the lowest possible score. The cast is talentless and unattractive, the special effects look like the result of "Brain Damage" (which is what the distributor of this crock calls itself), the dialog is poorly improvised, there is no continuity or coherent story, nothing is humorous or the least bit "campy," and no one shows the faintest flicker of "promise." This merely rips off zombie popularizer George Romero's title. As it turns out, there ARE no zombies here, naked or otherwise. There MIGHT be a few flashes of intended "nudity," but if so, they are shot in the same Unerotic, bad-home-movie fashion as everything else, and thus go by unnoticed. I've given tons of movies 9's and 10's this year; compared to any of them, NIGHT OF THE NAKED DEAD deserves something in the 0.31 to 0.47 range (that's less than one-half of one point on a 10-point scale).
