The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie starts well, characters are somehow explained and it looks like a ok-movie. Then things start getting confusing but still it keeps you interested to see whats coming next. Running around, screaming, some soft-porn scenes all good and nice. What i don't get is, in the entire movie, the whole Rebirth thing is advertised like a unique thing, something people should experience to stop being Real-Life Zombies. A concept not that original but still for me it was somehow executed in a pleasant way, until the end where.... Rebirth became something like a trend? a thing everyone does? All food, products etc. are now rebirth and the BOSS of all of this is the protagonist who a few days / months earlier was THE zombie king?!? i don't get it. So Rebirth is something cool and special, but it got so massive it becomes something cheesier than Facebook?!?Honestly, for me, that ending killed everything, because i don't get the message. Why should someone leave the normal zombie world and join a Rebirth zombie world?? 5/10

Hey, you still have the Manifesto? The what? The Manifesto, man. Don't tell me you threw it away."Rebirth" is a psychological thriller of the Netflix collection. I certainly won't deny that I have become a fervent supporter of the Netflix Originals series. I've seen already some great movies ("Spectral", "iBoy", "Before I Wake" and "Message from the king"). And also some less successful experiments ("Mute" and "Death note" eg). "Rebirth" is a special case and ends somewhere in the middle. In essence, it's not such a bad movie, but there were certain aspects that made me really hate it. Some will even find it an annoying film. I still don't know whether I should take this film seriously or not. If it was meant to be serious and tried to create an image of how similar organizations function, then it was rather frightening. If, however, it was meant to be satirical, I guess I haven't noticed it then. For me it wasn't really funny.For Kyle (Fran "The Living" Kranz) every day is a duplicate of the previous day. He can be seen as a settled and satisfied model citizen who carries out his day-to-day job. This seemingly carefree existence is thoroughly shaken up the day his crazy, hyper-kinetic ex-school friend Zack (Adam "Once upon a time in Venice" Goldberg) turns up in Kyle's office and reminds him that they once wrote down a promise. A "Manifesto" with one important slogan : "Don't be boring". And that's something Kyle, after agreeing to go to some bizarre reorientation weekend, is told several times. Unfortunately, "Rebirth" turned out to be somewhat boring with a disappointing final piece.Fran Kranz convincingly plays the confused and panicky Kyle, who sees his smooth going civilian life reduced to a chaotic, uncontrollable nightmare. It's obvious the propagated message of the "Rebirth" program is all about self-control. "Rebirth" is about getting a grip on yourself and not apathetically following the course of the system (as zombies). According to Zack, it's all about rediscovering yourself and start loving life back again. The only thing Kyle seems to experience is that it's an insane and degrading program. The fact that Zack looks as if he has eaten too many psychedelic mushrooms, doesn't seem to help him either.To be honest, the film really got on my nerves at certain moments. For example, there is the dazzlingly handsome Naomi (Nicky Whelan) who has the annoying habit of answering every question with a question. It was driving me crazy. The exaggerated group events also felt like a sort of mass hysteria. And it became a bit too predictable when Kyle ended up in a pillow-filled room with a couple lovely, very tasty looking women whose sex lives are clearly as exhilarating as watching a chess game. It looked like a hippie commune. It also felt rather surreal and unearthly.As I said before, specially the end is disappointing. Initially, you see an organization trying to recruit members by means of brainwashing and psychological pressure. I admit it was intriguing. But in the end it felt incomplete. Perhaps also due to the lack of any explanation. Initially, "Rebirth" looked like a sort of sect, full of esoteric ideas and dogmas, with the aim of allowing the participants to experience a rebirth in which all connections with their inculcating, self-centered living environment are cut. It wants to hold an imaginary mirror up to them and show that the participants are living in an artificial world controlled by others. That they are puppets in a social puppet theater where others pull the strings. Or also, an artificial bubble that you don't want to pierce because of the comfort, their acquired status and financial security. Afterwards, it seems to be nothing else than a cheap sales organization of food products, which they try to sell through networking at well-organized home parties. In the end it felt like I had just attended a Tupperware demonstration.

This movie was SO stupid! I agree with another viewer.....he should have (& COULD have!) left WAY earlier! And the ending was completely freaking ridiculous!!! Any other dude (in reality) would have punched Zach and then called the cops to stop the scheming! STUPID.....stupid! Save your time!

the worst movie I've ever seen be ashamed of yourself directors and cast? WHY would you consent to lower yourself to this standard????This movie is not Rebirth. It is D E A T H !Do not watch this. Go spend time with your wife. Cry over your dead relatives. Go for a meaningless night out.I don't want to write further.But IMDb needs a minimum of 10 lines of text.This is line no 9.PS. Just opened an account on IMDb to write this review. I guess that's "Rebirth"
