Reviews

Night of the Animated Dead received predominantly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 22%, reflecting general dissatisfaction with its execution. Critics often cited that while the concept of animating a classic zombie story had potential, the final product fell short in areas such as pacing, character development, and animation quality. IMDb users gave it an average rating of 4.6/10, indicating a lukewarm reception. Metacritic scores also suggest mixed to negative reviews, with some appreciating the attempt at a stylistic remake but criticizing it for lacking the tension and impact of the original. Common points in reviews include commentary on the film feeling more like a missed opportunity rather than a compelling tribute. Screen Rant noted, "The film's unique animation couldn't fully compensate for a sluggish narrative and underdeveloped characters," while some horror enthusiasts appreciated its nod to the source material despite its flaws. Overall, Night of the Animated Dead is seen as a niche film that might interest diehard fans of zombie lore but struggles to engage a broader audience.
