Reaction: Even with some talents taking slight pay cuts to help keep the budget under control, this film was simply too expensive for its genre(s) even with good overall gross numbers.
"I had a lot of fun with The Deadliest Night in Show Business. Some of the references may go over the head of the common audience member, but the plot is told in a clear enough fashion so that I could still enjoy most of the moments. The entire set-up, despite being a maybe a bit too obscure, was pretty clever on the part of the filmmakers." - Brenton Smalls, Playboy
"This one might be bit too 'inside baseball' for a mass audience. With a cast of characters comprised of vintage Hollywood stars, unless you know the legends and their personas, you're simply not going to be able to enjoy this one to its fullest. The story is fun for the most part, but not always satisfying." - Cooper Wilson, The Earl Hays Press
"I was truly astounded by the movie - a classic Hollywood cast battling a zombie-like virus! Craig and Butters especially were a great match and I was rooting for them throughout. However, at the end I couldn't help but feel that it was missing something to be a true horror classic. Nevertheless, it was still a great popcorn horror flick worth watching." - Luna Mahomes, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rated R for gore/violence and some language
