CALL IT... The One That Started It All
PREMISE A NASA satellite returning to Earth from Venus contains a high level of radiation, so the government decides to blow it up...but the fallout starts resurrecting the dead (pictured), hungry for human flesh. Oops. Seven strangers take shelter in an abandoned farmhouse and try to survive the night.
BEST ZOMBIE Karen (Kyra Schhon), a girl who turns into a zombie in the farmhouse basement and then feasts on her parents.
GORIEST DEATH Karen kills her mom (Marilyn Eastman) by repeatedly stabbing her with a trowel.
WHAT EW SAID The low-budget Night, which made Entertainment Weekly's list of the scariest movies of all time, was ''the Blair Witch Project of its day.''
