Often considered as "one of the worst films of all time", Night of Horror has a terrible reputation when it comes to the horror/Grindhouse/exploitation community. It now has a 1.4 rating on IMDB by 302 users. It was remade as "Curse of the Screaming Dead" in 1982 by the same director, this version was distributed by Troma later on and the title was changed to "Curse of the Cannibal Confederates". 

Night of Horror may have a bad reputation but its quite an interesting film to watch, you may not believe how truly bizarre it is, its like a fever dream you want to get out off at all times. Its boring, dull, slow as fuck, annoying and unispired but one may find some of its scenes somewhat charming and even fun. 

Is it a contender for worst film ever made? Yes. Is it among the worst of the worst? No. Should yo check it out? Yes. I recommend it for those die hard fans of incredibly strange and abismal films.
