Rise of the Animals (2012)

Sorry, this movie sucks

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Virginal pizza delivery boy Wolf (Greg Hoople) and his equally inexperienced best bud Jake (Adam Schonberg) crash an all-girl sleepover party where both guys finally get lucky. Their good fortune is short-lived, however, when it transpires that the world is under attack from the animal kingdom, with even the most cute and cuddly of critters now bloodthirsty beasts.Rise Of The Animals is an intentionally inept 'animals attack' flick that aims to entertain with a barrage of deliberately pathetic special effects, a preposterous script, and terrible performances. And for a while its actually quite fun, the animal attacks achieved through the use of Birdemic-level CGI and manky hand puppets, with buckets of blood splashed around for good measure. It's all so dumb one cannot help to be entertained. For a while.Sadly, as the story goes nowhere, delivering one silly attack scene after another (including mutant turtles, a crap CGI gorilla with a red mohawk and an equally unconvincing bear), the novelty gradually starts to wear off, and, by the end of the film, you might find yourself wondering why you keep on wasting your time watching cheap rubbish like this when there are so many other films more worthy of your time. I know I do. Every time. But I keep on coming back for more

Faultless acting, complex plot, ground-breaking special effects, scary and realistic monsters and seamless editing are all noticeably absent from this movie.Anybody making negative comments is missing the point, and a few brain cells. This film sets out to be the worst animal horror film of all time, and despite stiff competition from the likes of Grizzly Rage it succeeds.There are far too many movies that try hard to be everything this is not, and fail miserably. Those are the truly awful films. This one at least is honest.Where I mark it down from 10 to 7 is that it is probably intended to be a parody of cheesy horror flicks, but doesn't quite make it as such.Anybody fed up with the pretentious twaddle that budget horror movies so often are, should find this highly amusing. The cast are likable and not actually bad actors (well maybe some of them are). Motta is particularly watchable, and I loved her encounter with a horse.Take it for what it is and enjoy it.

Rise of the Animals (2011) I could not stop laughing though out this movie, not cause the jokes were funny but the movie is self was so awful, on so many levels , it was about Hilariousness bad.It was very bloody and there lots of bloody moments in this. Which is the good thing.The rest of the movie was just.....The animals attack were so bad, they are stuffed up animals, attacking people.If not stuffed up there are some really bad effects, it's had to be some of the worst effect, I have ever seen.which make this movie even more laughable.The acting really horrendous from every one.I swear, I don't what to rate this, 1 out of 10 for being one of the worst movies ever or 10 out of 10, for been one the funniest movies I've seen.

I watched this movie at a friend's house and laughed all the way through the film. A very cool premise enticed me at first, sparking my initial interest in this flick. All my preconceived notions were instantly annihilated in the opening scene! Instead of a seriously toned horror movie I was greeted with stuffed and/or puppeted cats, rabbits, deer, and squirrels running amok and terrifying the clueless humans. Every now and then a real flesh and bone animal is thrown in for good measure. The movie itself is amateurish to say the least. The acting is wooden, the script is sprinkled with hilarity ("Catch you on the flipside."), and some of the characters' decision-making and logic is confusing. Of course I do not expect a movie in this d movie vein to boast visually pleasing graphics, but the bear cgi was Nintendo 64 quality at best. All these gripes are conquered by one achievement: the movie is fun to watch. I had an absolute blast for the movie's very short runtime. The film brought to mind Wild Beast (another animals on the loose movie) and, more similar in comparison, Night of the Lepus. There are terrible movies...and then there are terrible movies which are fun to watch. Rise of the Animals is, imho, akin to the latter type.
