"Ack! Zombies!... there, pretty as a picture." My only problem with this movie was the fact that the last 20 minutes of the thing were pretty much a rush job, but the rest was satisfying! NIGHT LIFE is the story of Archie, your typical horror movie geekwad (who's actually pretty cool), who's playing assistant to his mortician uncle, played by that guy who did Gomez in the ADDAMS FAMILY tv show. He's doing it so Uncle Gomez will pay for his college education. Archie also gets hassled by your common Hollywood High School assholes, who break into the mortuary while Archie's on a decoy date (I know how those go...) with the popular girl from school. But, Uncle G. comes home which leads to some WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S-esque MISADVENTURES IN CORPESITTING shit, which gets Archie fired. Fortunately though, the assholes get into an auto accident with a chemical truck, and Archie gets rehired to do their embalming. Charly (he's a she, she just has a guy's name cuz she's a tomboy), Archie's only friend and potential love interest, up and leaves Archie to pursue an auto racing career in South Carolina. Well, the assholes get resurrected by a low flying bolt of lightning, then kill some people and hunt down Archie. Not only that, but... THEY CAN ALSO DRIVE A CAR! Charly comes back cuz the guy she left with was a pervo horn dog, and she and Archie lead the zombie assholes into a furnace where they incinerate them... End of story right? WRONG! The assholes are still alive! AND they're still driving! Conveniently though, a train hits them. Finally, it's over... WRONG AGAIN! THEY'RE STILL KICKIN! But, one goes through a wood chipper and the last one goes up in flames and explodes in an open grave. End? NO! CHARLY'S A ZOMBIE TOO! Oh wait, she was just fucking with Archie's head... ok. I hope one day I can find my Charly (knowin my luck, it'll be some GUY who pumps sewage and eats engine parts). Why must a God be so lonely?
