It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I was going to give this film a 1/10 but I thought that was a tad too unjustified and unfair to the rest of the people who worked on it. If they hired the same cameraman from say, Battle: LA the film would have been an 8/10. It's a shame one man destroyed what was potentially a good film.The good points of the film is the great action with plenty of gratuitous violence and the general atmosphere of the film set it apart from the normal zombie flicks. Whoever wrote the film is definitely talented and put a unique spin on this genre.I loved the Running Man-esq type cutscenes, something that's not really been done well in movies with maybe the exception of the original Robocop and Starship troopers.The acting was absolutely spot on, they nailed it. There's no Oscar winning performances deserved here, but for the style of film they were going for the acting was brilliant.I could have enjoyed this movie. It could have been the fun, pop-corn munching thrilling ride I was looking for. I could have loved this movie so much as to order the DVD immediately after watching it as I could have felt it was deserving to be in my collection and deserving of my money...If not for the cameraman. He was either a severe epileptic in need of urgent medical assistance and the poor sod was forced to keep filming in the midst of a serious seizure, or he was a complete amateur who's never held a camera before in his life. He completely destroyed the film. Any time you 'almost' got immersed, anytime you 'almost' enjoyed the film, any time you 'almost' started to pay attention off he goes on his savage mission to ruin the film for you. //Shake shake shake zoom zoom rotate rotate shake shake shake// "oh look the sky oh look the ground oh look over there oh look i'm too close oh look i'm too dark oh look anywhere except where i'm supposed to be bloody pointing this thing I have no idea how to use" he says, as a doctor stands beside him administering his anti-seizure meds.I hope he never gets another job again in this line of work, it obviously isn't his forté.I don't like spoilers so haven't given anything away about the story. If you can handle the ridiculously epileptic camera-work the general theme, story, action of the film is great. Fantastic! Excellent job from the writers and actors.If however you like to actually watch a film, and not just catch miniscule glimpses and fill in the blanks by listening, avoid it like the plague. Hopefully they'll remake it in the future without the offensive Parkinson's disease impersonations the cameraman is trolling the audience with.

So I've been trawling through the zombie horrors as of late. By chance I happened upon Re-Kill, which I originally bypassed on release! I can still see why, but I found myself surprised by how well-executed the action/horror was. Drop the corny REC (Spanish zombie movie) dialogue, the First Person camera angles (which caused me some motion sickness) and a few pointless scenes here and there and this movie is actually a nod to '80s Paul Verhoeven sci-fi parody and Left 4 Dead multi-player gaming.It's not there for the drama or to deliver a message, it's solely there for the experience and as zombie shoot-'em-ups go, it does a fine job when it gathers momentum. It just takes some effort to get there as a result of distracting cut-aways to scenes the movie didn't need.What surprised me first and foremost, though, was its cast. Roger R. Cross never quite made the transition from TV face to movie lead since cult sci-fi series First Wave.In Re-Kill he gets his own platoon and he kicks ass. His character is quite reminiscent of Tony Todd's performance in the 1990 Night of the Living Dead remake.Also surprising was the return of '90s rent-a-villain Bruce Payne, who takes the crazy hero slant for once. He's still creepy as hell, though. And Scott Adkins, a martial arts action hero as a meat-headed SWAT trooper? He's pretty intense and very welcome for this one.Some other actors could have done a better job, or simply not had a job. At first you won't know if Re-Kill is trying to be serious or just resemble the silly 3D movies they used to play at Alton Towers but eventually it comes into its own.I just wish they had a director's cut with the idiot cameraman voice deleted, or rewritten and performed by someone who isn't irritating.Good effort, just not a great contender!

Compared to big-budget block-busters, I'd rate this lower, but compared to B-rated movies, I'd rate it higher. Thus I give this a 5.Pros: · Really, quite a good story · Remarkably good acting for such a low budget · Well done zombie action (I'm not even that into zombie movies) · Despite its short runtime, viewers get to know and like some characters.Cons · Deplorably shaky camera work · Excessively zoomed-in while in close-quarters · Never-ending ammo · Too short (see additional comments)Comments: I actually enjoyed this movie, and that's saying something. To put it in perspective, if you've seen World War Z, I'd rate this movie about on-par with that one despite its significantly smaller budget. That said, I'll pick apart some of the glaring issues for me:The never-ending ammo didn't have to be a detractor. They simply could have solved that conundrum by having each member of the various team carry a whole lot of ammo, and show plenty of re- loading scenes. Logically, each team member should have had the same gun, and thus could have shared ammo. This would have been a convenient way to build intra-team personality dynamics. The teams could have coordinated their firing vs reloading time, and it would have added to the excitement. Viewers WANT to see the team work as a team, like a solid tactical unit. They missed an opportunity for that; as it was there wasn't much team dynamic - it wasn't a mess, it was just not there.The shaky camera is really totally inexcusable, and will really upset a lot of viewers. It was worse than Blair Witch. In many cases, the scenes really didn't warrant the bad camera work, it was unnecessary and wasn't logical. Certainly, in some scenes where the cameraman is, for instance, trying to escape a zombie rush, you could expect some shenanigans. It's clear that it would have been more entertaining if the whole movie was recorded with Go-Pro cameras. Heck, I could have done a better job with a cell phone camera! There are plenty of scenes where the director chose to use non-cameraman cameras, viewing a zombie rush from close-quarters for example (when we know the story-line cameraman is not actually that close). With this logic, they could have safely chosen more panning shots, overhead shots, and other artful angles, with the end result of a more watchable film.The length of the film was quite short, but the story was good enough that they could have fleshed it out even further. They could have added an X-Files-esque twist or added some additional walled- compound details. They did touch on this idea in some of the faux advertisements, so it would have been a logical addition.The ending was abrupt, and a bit of a letdown. In my opinion, they should have gone a little "Hollywood" at the end, but I do understand why the ended the way they did. Overall, I'd give the ending a solid 5/10, but all the ingredients were there to have given it a spectacular ending. I think that was a missed opportunity.Conclusion: It's a fun enough movie for zombie fans, and for those who are open to something that's a little lower budget. I wouldn't spend a lot of money to go see it, though.

Wow did I love this movie. I'm a huge horror fanatic. I especially love zombie films and this movie was Insane. I have now seen 5 of the 2015 ADH Films including Bastard,Unnatural and Lumberjack Man which were all Awesome. My reviews are up for those as well and I also saw Suspension which sucked but here is my review for this film. I will start with the story which is your standard affair being a zombie outbreak happened and 5 years later they are still trying to contain the outbreak and civilize America once again. The story was told with a camera perspective like the movie Quarantine or REC both being the same film. I felt they did a fine job though with the camera work and the angles. I will now move onto the acting which was cast terrifically. I mean everyone was great especially Scott Adkins and Roger Cross who everyone knows from 24. I will move onto the kills which was your typical zombie foray with a lot of blood and firepower. I mean I expected more gore but what they had was fine with me. I must say that what really made this film Superb for me was the in between moments with commercials going on within the movie just like in RoboCop and Starship Troopers. I found them to be hilarious and definitely made the film more approachable to someone who might not like these types of films. I would further state that the movie while only 87 minutes long felt a lot longer due to those commercials within the film. I will finish by saying that if you love zombie films then you must check this movie out without a question. I guarantee you will love it. I will say that if you combined RoboCop and Starship Troopers and 28 Days Later in a threesome then this is the movie you would get and that is why it's so Epic in my opinion. Thanks and have a Fantastic Day.
