From the director of The Necro Files! A brilliant but doomed scientist cracks the code on reviving dead flesh, only to have his human experiments hijacked by the mob and turned into unstoppable zombie assassins. When it all goes south and the doc is taken out, his son and loyal assistant swear bloody revenge, unleashing the gang of killing machines back on the mafia bosses responsible. But these sadistic, undead robots don’t take orders from anyone — instead, they tear through the city in a frenzy of murder and destruction leaving a trail of bodies in their wake.
A blast of renegade action-horror, Legion of the Night is pure regional indie goodness and is stuffed with mad science, gratuitous gun violence, and mutant carnage. Shot on gritty 16mm film, it soaks the screen in rubber guts, oozing squib hits, and delirious 90s direct-to-video energy. Director Matt Jaissle (The Necro Files) cements his outlaw status with a furious cocktail of gore, grit, and midnight-movie tropes that found its way onto Blockbuster Video shelves in the heyday of VHS.
