Rise of the Zombies

About This Movie

Rise of the Zombies offers a gritty take on the zombie genre, with a unique setting that really plays into the claustrophobic feel of Alcatraz Prison. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as the undead start to breach their defenses. The pacing is pretty frenetic, keeping you on edge as the survivors struggle to navigate not just the zombies but their own dynamics. Practical effects here stand out, with some decent gore and the kind of zombie makeup that feels rooted in the classic horror traditions. The performances range from solid to a bit over-the-top, but they fit the chaotic vibe of the film. It’s not groundbreaking, but it has its moments that make it a noteworthy entry for collectors who appreciate the blend of action and horror.

Not your typical zombie flick, more survival thriller. · Great for those who appreciate unique settings. · Good mix of practical effects and action pacing.
