rise of the undead start a some huge nuclear type blast rip through an unnamed american city and a few people survive in a building by lean on the door so it will stay closed and keep the nastiness out ( . ) . they argue amongst themselves for age and then a monster thing arrive from seemingly nowhere and begin to kill them of one by one . write and produce and direct by jason horton and shannon hubbell one have to say rise of the undead be terrible . the script take itself very seriously but make little sense and the first thing i ask myself be if there this huge nuclear blast type thing go on outside destroy the entire city why be these people i be watch still alive . why be the building they be in still stand . then i ask myself when be something actually go to happen and the entire first 20 minute be set in one room and actually that a bit generous it more of a corridor a the main character argue . then it turn into some return of the living dead ( 1985 ) rip off with a government create virus which turn people into zombie before one of the most abrupt and pointless and seemingly random plot twist i have ever witness which render most of what have just happen a complete waste of time . then for the final 30 odd minute rise of the undead turn into some strange sci fi type thing a something which resemble a ball of energy float around kill everyone and be i the only ask what this float ball of energy thing be and where it come from . get back to what be happen outside what be the reason again . oh that right we be never tell . rise of the undead be a mess and the character be awful and aren not even give name and the twist about halfway through will have you tear your hair out in frustration and the dialogue suck and nothing be explain and there virtually no story here . the final 10 minute ( maybe a bit more ) of rise of the undead feature no dialogue whatsoever and the film just suddenly end . director horton and hubbell be obviously work on a low budget and the entire film be set in about two room and three corridor . the photography be awful and they use annoy colour filter seemingly at random and sometimes it really do look like rise of the undead be shoot on a camcorder . there no special effect and there some fake blood splash around but no actual make up effect to speak of . there be some cgi shot of the city be engulf in flame which look alright but the float ball of energy creature thing look terrible . there be one baffling shot early on where two people be sit against a corridor wall and talk and for some bizarre reason their head be cut off at the top of the screen . just their low body from the neck down be see yet nothing else be happen in frame and they be not move and there no else there but for some strange reason their head be cut off the top of the frame a they talk to each other . it quite an odd thing to watch actually . with an ultra low budget of about $ 10 and 000 and accord to the imdb shot in two week i have to congratulate the maker for get rise of the undead finish and distribute but that where my congratulation stop because otherwise this have awful production value and be set in about three corridor which be locate somewhere in new orleans in louisiana a that where rise of the undead be shoot . the act suck so i would not dwell on it . rise of the undead suck and it sound like a zombie film but in all honestly it isn not and everything about it be sub par and i know the filmmaker be work on a low budget but that not really an excuse as far a i be concern . definitely not recommend .
