Production
'Zombie Night 2: Awakening' was filmed to the turn of the year in Deseronto, Ontario. The budget was under $100,000.
Reception
Susan Walker of 'The Toronto Star' rated it 1.5/4 stars and wrote that it "might be enough to satisfy a loyal fan base" but is not a good film. Ulises Silva of Quiet Earth rated it 4.5/10 stars and called it "a suspense-less, ineffective zombie film" that could have benefited from a higher budget.
Writing in 'The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, Volume 2', academic Peter Dendle said, "There are at least a few interesting touches in the zombie conceptualizations here, unlike the depressing and tedious vision in the first feature."
