ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
sully2161 Well, this movie certainly turned out NOT to be what I expected. I've read that the title was changed by the distributor. The end credits say "Look for Jim in Shelter 2", so I kind of assume this movie was meant to be called "Shelter" originally. Having said that, I very much enjoyed the movie. At first I thought I was watching one of the films my friends & I put together. But I quickly realized that the lines and movements were well thought out and deliberate. The editing was also quite impressive (I picked up a few tricks I want to try out). The Zombie Sequence in the middle was an interesting diversion, while providing some additional insight into the (intentionally) backgroundless characters. I would recommend viewing the film at least twice, with a sharp eye out the 2nd time around.
CHUDtheBUD Hey, I'm a fan of so-bad-so-good movies but there's nothing so-bad-so-good about Rise Of The Undead. It's just so-bad and that's it. No redeeming cheese, no unintentional humor, nothing! - boring apocalyptic Zombie (The "Undead" : a few people with hardly any make up) nonsense with lame special effects (if you can call those effects), dumb plot and annoying actors. They also have the nerve to rip off and quote from other (better) movies (Resident Evil, Dawn Of The Dead & Night Of The Comet) and managed to put me to sleep on the side. However, it was Rise Of My Eyelids once the end credits rolled though. My advice: save your money. It's not even worth a rental, unless you want to p*ss off and/or put some people to sleep then go ahead and give it a spin. You've been warned ;)
rbaudie If you like so-bad-they're-good movies, I particularly recommend this flick. In the now familiar way that movies like Evil Dead 2 or Shawn of the Dead rip apart and yet stay lovingly true to the Horror tradition, this low budget film simultaneously embraces and laughs at its kitschy B-film incarnation. What does the B-movie have to offer us that the big production film doesn't? Unpredictability and edginess? Maybe. Complete lack of pretense or artistic value? Possibly closer. Remember when John Waters was more Pink Flamingos and less Cecil B. Demented? Initially it seems to be a rip off of Dawn of the Dead in its apocalyptic, stuck in a building together setting, but stick with it. It is full of more strange twists and surprises than it seems like one B-movie could hold, verging at times on the surreal. Even the lame special effects are so right for the film, that it's irrelevant to ask if they are a result of the low budget or just genius.
agentjuan A violent, sinister little film, made for perhaps less than a month's salary, but with interesting experimental sound effects and other quirks. The acting ranges from over-the-top to underwhelming, but this is a horror movie, and for a horror movie, it's not only pretty creepy and occasionally shocking, but with demented humor that comes out of left-field and never intentionally just for comic relief.Horton and Hubbel are not as interested in the dramatics of an apocalypse. They appear to be interested more specifically in the stripping down of all things, the humanity that is at our core, and the way only the most horrible situations (an apocalypse, on top of another horror which I won't give away) brings out that core humanity. The script and camera linger on the relationships people form when surrounded and beaten down to nothing. It's interesting to watch, and creepy to behold.This is a promising first film. This is perfect for the viewer who is interested in movies few have heard about, so as to be the first to spread the word.
