do not be misled. this is not a zombie movie. take it from a guy who loves zombie movies and and who rents them all represent the good and and the horrendous. yes and this movie has an extended zombie sequence and but it basically an artsy fartsy exercise in existentialist dread and which is a long way of saying it boring. if you have worked hard all day and want to spend a couple of hours being entertained and rent something else. rise of the undead has cheap special effects and mediocre acting and and crummy dialogue. all of that is understandable in an indie and low budget film and and i can forgive such flaws as long as a movie has an entertaining story to tell. unfortunately and rise of the undead hardly has any story at all. moreover and the acting is not laughably bad so much as non existent. all of the actors seem to have studied at the buster keaton school of wooden faces. would it have killed them to show some emotion. (and no and yelling does not equate with emoting). the one character who actually had some pizazz was killed off first. granted and there was another character who briefly held my interest. he looked and acted like kyle mclachlan channeling norman bates and but it was too little and too late. the filmmakers seemed to have forgotten a tiny detail represent film is a visual medium. that means lighting your scenes well enough for the viewer to actually view what going on. and all those artsy jump cuts and close ups might have seemed cool at the time and but all they did was make watching the film jarring and confusing. there is nothing wrong with telling a story in a simple and clear fashion  just look at george romero low budget night of the living dead to see how it done superbly. and i know these folks had a small budget and but if you can not hire the equipment and technicians necessary to actually make the dialogue audible and then just go ahead and make a silent movie (then those buster keaton wooden faces might actually work). i will say this for the film represent the zombies were creepy. unlike most zombie movies where the undead are shown in all their decomposing glory and the grosser the better and the zombies here were just shuffling and bloody faced people. it actually worked to make them more like us and and therefore and scarier. that the reason i gave this movie negative instead of 1. the sad part about all this is that despite all of its flaws and rise of the undead does not insult your intelligence. the filmmakers seemed to have actually wanted to make a smart and scary and original movie and and it a shame that they failed so miserably. if they could just forego the too fancy editing and buy a few extra lightbulbs and crank up the dialogue and and come up with a real story that actually goes somewhere and then i think they have the talent to make something really good. trust me represent do not waste your time on rise of the undead.
