Review of Rise of the Dead (2007) by Drew R — 11 Dec 2007
This is NOT a zombie film by any means.
I purchased it this with the impression I'd be seeing the story of a girl whose town would be invaded by flesh-eating corpses and along with her family battle a desperate wage to survive. Along with said family, conflicts would arise and the battle for humanity becomes stronger than the battle to survive. And so on. Instead, what I got was a film about a girl who decided to give her baby up for adoption and after he had been bounced from house to house, 3 years later the baby accidentally kills himself (a bit of a spoiler but this is learned early on and is crucial to the plot) and now the soul of the baby - ready for this? - is possessing people to kill his natural born mother for giving him up. Any zombies in this film? No. Any gore? Nope, not really. Is it a good film? ...Yes, actually it is. BUT it's NOT a zombie film.
