That the make-up effects might seem a little quaint today, I think that also works in favor with the film as well, when taken in context of when it was made and the austere and sincere approach the entire production took to bring this classic zombie epic to the screen. The setting is great and something most of us will relate too, even today, and this was maximized to its fullest potential. There is nothing wrong with this production and was made on a low budget of around $700,000.00 and the finished product belies what was afforded to it.
this is by no means a 1 star—or in your case half star film—horror film
2) But I gave it a 1, not a 0.5.
You rated it a 1 out of 10. By that system, halving it would mean using the 5 star rating. Your one then gets halved, which is half a star. That is absolute and pure hatred for a film to give it half a star. There is no other way around that. If you hated it fine, but as I was discussing about context and the finished product, it is far from a half star film, unless you are a casual viewer and don't even like or watch horror films, or don't have much of a point of reference regarding film at all.
There were very minimal make-up effects in Night, the film was also dark and in black and white as well. It did give it a more gritty raw look, but they were not as extensive in comparison to Dawn.
