Rising Dead

Synopsis: In a brief opening narration, we're told the story of what was thought to be a virus which has turned the world's population into the walking dead. There are, however, known shelters around the world which are keeping the healthy safe. It's the journey to rescue that's the problem. . . After a plane crashes in the middle of the tropics, a group of idiotic survivors (which includes the First Lady and her crippled son) must fight against some (rather tame) zombies to reach safety. . .

Review: I went into this low-budget, straight-to-video horror knowing nothing about it except the title. You can't be disappointed if you don't have expectations. . . right? That's what I thought. I don't think there was a single good thing about this film to be honest. Well, unless you love unintentional comedy and laughably bad everything. The script was horrendous, including some ridiculous narration (which sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom) and some of the worst dialogue I've ever heard in my life. The direction and editing were just insanely terrible. . . like a music video made by a group of retarded chimps. I kid you not when I tell you that in some of the black screenblanks, you can actually see 'Cousins Brothers' written from the original production slide. The acting reminded me of a production of a Porno Soap Opera put on by the residents at a local psych ward. There were more continuity errors than 'Plan 9 from Outer Space.' I don't mean to be so rough on it, but seriously. . . other than the laughs you'll get at the filmmakers' expense and the interesting and seldom-used setting, there's barely a single positive thing about it.

Zombie Action: Well, it's there. But the zombies barely do a damn thing. Most of it is the lead character pushing the undead around and hitting them with random things that he finds lying around. The effects are awful, mostly cheap CGI which mixes horribly with the poor editing. The makeup isn't bad, but it's nothing that can save the film.

Final Verdict: 2/10. It only gets that for the laughs and that one cute actress. Be grateful!

Recommended? No. Unless you're well equipped with a case of your favourite ale and a roomful of your favourite MST3k buddies.

From the first scene you can tell this was paid for by a wealthy person that has absolutely nothing else to do. The acting is terrible along with the storyline and script. The special effects are laughable even for that time period. The name of a major video game franchise called Dead Rising was taking off at the time this was made. So even the name isn't original like the plot. I watched their YouTube channel a few times with the UFOs and they did some horrible short film. I had never seen anything so cringeworthy, from there I looked them up and watched it on TUBI. I made sure I vaped plenty of weed and i did laugh at how horrible this things is. The severed arm dragging the girl by the hair was so ridiculous I busted a gut.

If somebody have seen a B movie then This a Z movie. The story makes this people look like the dumbest folks in the universe. They go for straws without any apparent reason when Zombies are after them. Hey I can barely walk but lets leave the only person with a gun and go for a straw, I know lets go to a graveyard. What the F***k are they hoping to find? There are only zombies everywhere. If they walked towards their goal they would be there in a couple of hours without anyone dying. The reasons they are splitting up every time are so crazy but obviously nobody would die if they didn't split up so they do it anyway. I know this is a movie but people aren't that stupid in real life in a movie or even a comedy, maybe in a parody but i don't know anything close to this story so it is obviously an original.If they at least had any reasons to risk their lives it would be a better story. Like the story is now it's like: Wait for me here I am just going out to get infected but don't worry I will infect you as son as I return..... They could at least be looking for something important or somebody, Why would a cripple straw away with a 6 years old to a graveyard without any means to defend themselves, of course they encounter a zombie. There are zombies everywhere. The people in this movie are so stupid that you literally want to beat them up. I feel really sorry for the actors because it must have been a real challenge to play somebody this stupid. I wouldn't be able to act this stupid with a straight face, Obviously it was the first time many of them were acting and the story didn't make the acting easier.

It is a Horror but you will however either laugh or cry because there is nothing scary about this movie. I believe this is the first Zombie movie ever where the Zombies are smarter then the people they are chasing, and that is a fact. They are like freaking Einstein compared to them...

This movie is so bad that you have to actually watch it because of that. This movie will make history and I don't think anybody will ever make something worst. I could write compliments for ever and after watching this movie you actually need to write something or you go crazy. I have no regrets what so ever knowing then what I know now I would watch it just because it is something you have never seen before and something that you will obviously never find again.....It's impossible to explain so you have to see it for yourself......

First things first, it pains me to this day that I actually shelled out 16 € for this abomination when I idly browsed the rows of newly released films at my local store. The cover looked like it was made well enough and I had my paycheck cashed in hours earlier. I took it with me to my friends as we wanted to make a movie night that day.

This movie is just an all-around catastrophe. Grainy picture, sounds as if recorded in a bathroom or empty hallway, green-screen effects of a supposed shotgun blast to the head where you can actually SEE that guy pulling a green mask over his head. Sadly, it's not even /comically/ bad, especially if you bought it at the price of a AAA-Title.

I've seen 3 or 4 Uwe Boll flicks - they are like The Lord of the Rings compared to this Z-movie.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen! Sure, the story would have been good, had any of them been able to ACT! The one with the least talent is the lead character, that Blake guy. Unfortunately he also narrated, so his lifeless, bland, monotone voice goes on and on. It looked like it had been filmed at home, by amateurs, to be put on YouTube as a joke. They also added some kind of annoying filter to it when they edited it that made it look like it was almost in slow motion, which looked really crappy. I don't know how it ever got on a DVD collection of movies, but it did. I'm sorry I wasted my time trying to watch this thing, and if it wasn't for my boyfriend leaving it play, I would have shut it off! Don't watch this thing without a puke bucket!
