Night of the Punks is a short film I think a lot of you will enjoy watching, especially if you like crazy violent and bloody horror. It's extremely entertaining and I love the old school nostalgic horror and punk vibes that it has. They used real practical effects and make-up as well! The film was directed by Dan Riesser.and
Synopsis:
Small town punk rockers The Brain Deads have their first out of town gig. But there are a few problems: The venue is deserted, the promoter is a creep, their bass player has gone missing, and the only kids in the audience appear to be bloodthirsty monsters from hell. It's gonna take a lot more than a few power chords and teenage angst to survive this night. Night Of The Punks is a love letter to 1980's splatterpunk cinema, echoing classics like "The Return of the Living Dead," "The Evil Dead...

Dan Riesser’s horror/comedy short Night Of The Punks has played quite well at various film festivals. The full film, less than twenty minutes long, is available for viewing right here.
So, is it worth a look?
That depends. Can you stomach gore that’s simultaneously gross and funny, due to its over-the-top, low-budget nature? Do you have a deep-seated affection for the spook-a-blast stylings of the 1980′s? Can you find it in yourself to root for punk rock musicians? If yes, then I’d say that this short is more than worthy of checking out. Riesser, who shot the movie on a micro-budget, wants to turn it into a feature, and he displays more than enough chops to get the job done. I wish him the best of luck.
The story follows the members of Brain Dead, a small-time punk band who get booked for their first road show.

Do you like Return of the Living Dead? Night of the Demons? Evil Dead? Maybe From Dusk Til Dawn? Fresh off the festival circuit after receiving accolades, awards and becoming an official selection of over 25 fests, I give you… Night Of The Punks!!! It’s a short film that will take up 19 minutes of your time and make you a happy horror fan. The film features rippin’ punk riffs embedded in a horror comedy. Do you miss the Dead Boys? The Cramps? Maybe you fantasize about being killed, but you’re not Linnea Quigley, and there aren’t any old men around. It’s punks versus bloodthirsty monsters from Hell (and not zombies in this one)! Best part for you is that it’s on YouTube. It’s free, and it’s ready, willing and able to receive your support as a fan of good horror.
