I don't remember if someone recommended the movie for me, or I've just run into it. Either way, as I like zombie stories, I've found myself watching the movie, without watching the trailer.
The Rise of the Zombies movie is about a group of people trying to find a cure in a zombie infected city.
The story is passable. The pacing is consistently slow. There are no character arcs. There were no major logical problems, just a lot of minor ones.
The story itself is not bad, it's just boring, badly written, with lazy special effects. There's no proper ending, it just leaves to viewer to imagine how things will work out.
The cinematography is okay, the movie is watchable. The characters visit multiple places through the story, so it's not monotonous, but I wouldn't call it visually interesting .
We don't really get to know the characters. The actors are acceptable.
The music (by Chris Ridenhour) is okay.
Rise of the Zombies is a weak, but watchable fantasy survival horror, that dedicated fans of the genre might enjoy.
**My experience**
I was not satisfied with Rise of the Zombies (2012). I prefer stories with well-thought, logical plots, and more intense action, and Rise of the Zombies couldn't deliver that.Show less
