Re-Kill (2015)

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Wow This Was Very Good ... Imagine You Are Trapped At Home In A Zombie Outbreak ... Your Only Communication With The Outside World Is The New Re-kill Network ... A Kind Of 24/7 Zombie News Network ... Even The Commercial Are Outbreak Related ... The Re-kill Show Follows Special Op Teams Who Are Sent Out To Eliminate Zombies Or Rescue Survivors ... The Action Is Good, Acting Was (Under The Movie Circumstances) Not Bad, The Script Was Original And Engaging ...

I found this among the best-ever movies of it genre. It reminded me of Network and Putney Swope and some others. Wonderfully detailed, nearly verisimilitude, great mockumentary, funny as heck, look for "wrangler" credits.Like Network, which seemed so improbable until we realized that virtually every detail of Network came to be, this movie presents huge sci-fi/horror speculation that also bears a lot of resemblance to current events.The commercials were among the best parts.Greg

All the other reviews basically cover almost everything good and bad about this movie. The only thing worth mentioning, that already hasn't been, is that almost every single problem in this movie would have been solved or avoided if people actually used common sense and proper restraining procedure on any of the zombies.****SPOILER ALERT**** As an example, one of the dumbest scenes in the movie revolves around a sting operation on zombie smuggling truck drivers. This scene is stupid for many reasons, the first being that it exists. I cannot even imagine the events that convinced those people that smuggling zombies, especially after they almost wiped out humanity, was a good idea.However, the real gem of this scene is when the R-division guys open up the trailer and find a trailer full of zombies with not a single one, in any way, shape or form, restrained or otherwise impeded from exiting the vehicle.This entire scene left me with so many questions. Why isn't there a cage inside the trailer to prevent the zombies from immediately rushing for the exit the moment the door's opened? Why did the truck driver open the back when there's no restraint on the zombies? Did he really not know they were back there? Why didn't anybody tell him? Etc.The real reason that none of the zombies are ever restrained throughout the movie is so we can get gratuitous action scenes. Poorly shot, convoluted, and oh so confusing action scenes.

I normally dislike the found footage genre (although as another reviewer said, I do like starship troopers so would advise those who liked the humour and/or style of Starship Troopers to give this one a chance). I know other reviews have made a point of mentioning how shaky the camera was, but imo...its less shaky than what you would expect if you were actually being chased by a bunch of re-animated corpses that want to eat you. And (again imo), the shaky cam helps you submerge yourself into the film better - by creating the sense that they were panicked and running for their lives. While I wouldn't think that this film would appeal to the masses and be winning any Oscars any time soon, I feel it is definitely one of the better zombie films - to the point that I've came here to review it (something I rarely ever do).
