Zombie Night 2: Awakening is a 2006 Canadian horror film directed by David J. Francis. It is a conceptual sequel to Zombie Night. It was followed in 2008 by Reel Zombies.

Plot

Mosquitoes spread a zombie plague, and humanity is devastated. Denied shelter with a heavily armed group of survivors, Keith and Shelley attempt to clear out a marina and use it to escape to a better location. Amid attacks by nocturnal zombies, the previous group begin to raid them for supplies.

Cast

Production

It was filmed to the turn of the year in Deseronto, Ontario.[1] The budget was under $100,000.[2]

Reception

Susan Walker of The Toronto Star rated it 1.5/4 stars and wrote that it "might be enough to satisfy a loyal fan base" but is not a good film.[3] Ulises Silva of Quiet Earth rated it 4.5/10 stars and called it "a suspense-less, ineffective zombie film" that could have benefited from a higher budget.[4] Writing in The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, Volume 2, academic Peter Dendle said, "There are at least a few interesting touches in the zombie conceptualizations here, unlike the depressing and tedious vision in the first feature."[1]
