I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
View MoreIt is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
View MoreA group of people hold up in what looks like a storage unit building while the city is in an infernal and zombies are roaming around. The film had a list of bads that include: acting, sound, camera angles, dialogue, and script. Chantal Koerner was annoying.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Get a punch on the hacker's card for this one.
View MoreThe ill-titled Rise of the Undead was a virtual potpourri of a movie. Its Schlock horror, terse siege, self-conscious comedy, dark melodrama all rolled into one. And while it doesn't always transition smoothly between it's parts, it's a solid if not totally successful effort. The setup, several strangers trapped together during an apocalypse is an interesting set up for a low budget production. If the movie had spent even a little time developing these characters it could've worked masterfully. As is, we get several too young actors standing around yelling inane dialog at each other. I realize a lot of it is meant to be awkward and stodgy, but you need to mix that with more meaningful and character building dialog. The performances give little help. Save for the African American lead, the cast seems lost. This probably stems from lack of experience from them and the director.The look, not horrible for a DV feature. I've certainly seen worse. Although there are a few ill- conceived color schemes in the first 20 minutes. A little camera movement in the first 20 wouldn't have hurt either.The audio is the worst technical aspect. It certainly puts the nail on the coffin in classifying this as a no-budget feature.The effects, oh the effects. The less said the better. The zombies were minimalisticaly effective. And some the action surrounding them was well staged, if a bit under lit.Overall, not a great movie. But worth a watch if you follow no-budget fare. Its one of the more interesting of its brethren to come out in some time.
View MoreThis film is defiantly unique for its genre. The characters range from mediocre to bizarre performances. The film is bit plot heavy and dialog saturated, however it does contain some ingenious plot twists and shock factors. The special effects were great for an indie and the gritty location added a lot of suspense to the film. It is defiantly not your typical "Zombie eats brains" scenario followed by a cast of big breasted bimbos and college frat guys. This film takes it a step further adding almost humorous elements and science fiction. This film has some great concepts (which I find to be a rarity these days), but elementary work. I do however see lots of potential and I will defiantly be following these two writers/directors.
View MoreThis has got to be the cheapest movie of it's kind I have ever seen. It looks like it cost about 50 bucks. But, they still blew up buildings, had a fire storm, a cg monster, and a shot that traveled through a guys chest and came out the other side. Sure none of it looked a million bucks. But, hey you work with what you got. And I'd say these guys got quite a bit out of their 23 dollars. I was expecting a splatter show or zombie movie. It had a little of both, but not a whole lot of either. The acting was so-so for the most part. I did like the crazy dude with the purple vest, and the guy in the suit. He played a good jerk. The guy with the axe was an alright action star some day. I'm not so sure about the pony tailed guy. All in all it was a good movie, for a 27 dollar movie. But hey, maybe for their next film they'll get $30.
