The Rezort

Lets be honest, there have been some truly awful B grade Zombie flicks. Thankfully, Rezort is not one of them.

Yes this film has a modest budget and location and yes, its hardly original. That said what Rezort does, it does with a simple, honest, gnashing enthusiasm. Its pacing is good and whilst this is not going to engage the synapses all that much it does engage on a sensory level, with lots of action and a few mild scares.

Just as importantly, its a competent production that employs some capable Brit actors and utilizes reasonable if not exceptional sets and locations.

All in all there a lot more to like here than not, if you are a fan of the Zombie/survival horror genre and you want an afternoon or evenings chill out action flick fun. Seven out of ten from me.

in a market overflowing with zombie movies, it can't be easy for movie studios to come up with new and interesting takes on the genre, but with The Rezort they came up trumps

the movie zips along at a decent pace with enough zombie action to satisfy most fans of the genre, and the characters are the kind you actually care about for once, with Dougray Scott being the most recognisable out of all the actors present.

just in case you were wondering how an island could continue to function with only a finite number of zombies to shoot, this issue is actually dealt with as part of the plot, and is a shocking revelation when it comes.

all in all, it's a decent way to spend an hour and a half, and is certainly a lot better than some of the dross out there

After an apocalyptic zombie outbreak, where more than two-billion people died, the worldwide situation is under control and the creatures have been destroyed. The cities are being rebuilt and there are camps of refugees kept by donation of the survivors. However, there is an isolated island where The Rezort, owned by Wilton (Claire Goose), is located and guests may participate in Zombie Safari to shoot the undead that are kept behind electric fences and locks monitored 24 hours/ day for sport of therapy. When the new guests arrive, a group go for camping in an isolated area of the compound. However there is a breach in the computer system caused by the guest Sadie (Elen Rhys) that used an encrypted flash drive in the computer system. The responsible for the computer system Salva (Shane Zaza) hides the information to fix later, but there is a virus that corrupts the files and releases the zombies, activating a protocol to destroy the island. Most of the staff and guests are killed in the main building; but the group formed by Archer (Dougray Scott), Melanie (Jessica De Gouw), her boyfriend Lewis (Martin McCann), the teenager Jack (Jassa Ahluwalia), Sadie and the guide Nevins (Kevin Shen) survives and seek a boat to leave the island before destruction. What is the purpose of Sadie and will the group survive?

"The Rezort" is a full of action and entertaining zombie film despite the rip-off of the storyline of Jurassic Park and how zombies are produced. The production is great with good cast, including Dougray Scott. The open conclusion is certainly for a sequel with the character Archer. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

This is a good movie.The producer wanted a Jurassic Park-like movie with zombies instead of dinosaurs.They succeeded.I won't bore with what the movie is about more than that.I was impressed by the acting.Most b flicks have actors with poor skills.These actors act as if they were in a big budget blockbuster.No phoning it in, in The Rezort.Character development happens while the action takes place so there is no boring first half hour.Thank you for that! This is how an action movie should be...just enough character development as we go along so we care about the characters and still get to be thrilled by the action.

The location(Phillipines) and props are interesting and engaging.This doesn't seem like a low budget movie.

However,i would have preferred the "disaster" happen a little less suddenly,it seemed a little rushed.It does set up several situations for us to want follow up on though.The zombies are different from the usual zombie in that they seem a little smarter than they should be..but that makes the Rezort and it's purpose all the more compelling and controversial.A little cheesy at times but nothing too over the top.

Great make up effects,great camera work..this is a professionally made movie.Worth a watch...you might even watch it again.It borders on b flick for its few flaws but overall this is not a b flick SYFY movie.

Zombie films are pretty common place these days with the sub-genre being saturated with entries. So expectations are generally pretty low when a new one comes around the block. This rule of thumb applies to The Rezort. But I have to say that this one keeps things a little more interesting than usual. The set-up about a high-tech resort where adrenaline mad tourists can visit to shoot zombies is a pretty good new angle for the genre; even if it essentially borrows heavily from Michael Crichton penned sci-fi classics Westword (1973) and Jurassic Park (1993), especially when we have the zombies breaking free and causing all manner of horrors on the humans in a very similar way to what the androids and dinosaurs did in those two earlier films. Still, I didn't really mind this derivative aspect very much as at least it seemed – to me at least – to be a new angle for the zombie film.

For those who are interested in the distinction, this is one of the ones which has fast zombies. They bomb about in hot pursuit of the protagonists and you can probably imagine that it ends in tears for almost everyone. There is a little bit of political subtext added to the mix as well with a revelation later in the film involving refugees, which of course taps into a current issue in a zombie tradition that goes all the way back to George A. Romero. But mainly, this is a nicely distinctive new entry into an over-populated sub-genre. All things considered, I thought it was pretty good.
