A fresh new take on "zombie" genre and filled with laughs, heart, and a ton of kickass fun. Totally worth it!
This film tells story of an office worker for a weapons manufacturer, whose co-workers are turned into zombies by an energy drink.
The film actually starts out not too bad and quite funny. However once the horror/zombie bit comes in, it falls apart. The horror effects are good. Plenty of blood and gore but it gets a bit dull. Some of the effects are pretty poor. The jokes fall flat. There is little action. Its not really that scary or gory.
Although it was well acted, I had no connection to the characters. I really didn't care by the end what happened to them.
It is a shame as there is some great acting and the first bit of the film shows promise. It would probably been better if it had been kept as a straight office comedy rather than trying to make it a horror.

This movie is exactly what I expected going into it. It's got a straightforward premise where these guys are locked in at a office building with zombie-like workers. I like the premise. I also liked the chemistry between the Brenton Thwaite, Jane Levy and Karan Soni. Zachary Levi as the villain worked. There's violence and blood if you're into that type of movies.
Office Uprising is the latest in a spate of office themed horror movies, and you know what? It's kind of good.
It follows a young office employee having the worst shift of his life as overnight everyone in his building turns psychotic thanks to a mysterious new energy drink.
Starring Zachary "Shazam" Levi, Gregg Henry, Kurt Fuller, Karan "Dopinder from Deadpool" Soni and Alan "Former Aquaman" Ritchson the movies cast manage to deliver in this enjoyable comedy horror.
Hyper violent, frantic, yet with substance and a lot of well done comedy this was one of those unknown little gems I'm really glad I watched. Sure it's far from flawless but it managed to entertain and that's something most of it's ilk seem incapable of doing lately.
But something has to be addressed, this is advertised as a zombie movie! I know zombies are "In" but stop lying! Zombies are undead for crying out loud, stop claiming that every movie where people turn violent is a zombie film! I seem to have developed a real chip on my shoulder about that, it's just rampant and dishonest.
Office Uprising is an enjoyable take your brain out 90 minutes of violence and laughs, it does exactly what it says on the tin...................minus the zombies.
The Good:
Stylish
Some great comedy
Cast deliver (Especially Levi)
The Bad:
NOT a zombie film

It's aver crude idea, to drive a company mad by giving canned drugs to them. After consuming the drugs, the emploees of a weapon manifacturing company go wild and murder without border in the office. Three friends try to escape from their drug driven colleagues in a 5 staged special secured building with all means they got left. It turned out to be a really gory movie. If you are able to cope with a funny gore movie, you might watch this. I did like the satire on weapon selling companies. On that base, I can have a laugh on it. Beside the lousy CGI's, which is not really irritating, it is a movie to watch with good fellows while having a Bud - or some other beer. But compared to all other movies in the world, it isn't a milestone for sure. Watch it, if you want some silly fun with gory parts. A recommendation for friends of movies like 'Tucker and Dale vs. Evil' or 'Zombieland'.
