Rise of the Zombie

Many don't know that it's the first Indian zombie film and in my opinion it's good that people don't know about this film. Because nothing was happening in the film. And how will happen as there's no screenplay, only our lead was taking pictures, sleeping and dreaming.

"A human is transforming into a zombie in a jungle" and that's all. This is the story of this film. Now, with only this one line idea I don't think it was a good decision to make a 80 mins feature film. They should have made a short film with this, it would've been hit. As the film only focused on the origin of only one zombie I can't say it's the worst film. But, as there was nothing in the script it became very slow, boring & repetitive.

Available on MX Player & Amazon Prime Video.

Writing, acting, story, flow, every aspect of this movie was terrible. Finishing watching it was painfully hard work. I've seen every zombie movie I can find and this was 100% the worst.

Its a total waste of time. If you are courageous enough to survive through first half of the movie, then you must believe that you have highest level of patience.

In second half, the ultimate zombie starts forming and things get little disgusting by the food scenes. May be because, zombie was a newbie.

If this was a plot episode of some series, this could be acceptable otherwise its a real disaster. Plot itself is very weak and story does not develop. Its kind of random thoughts shot into a film.

Much like the status in title, it talks about the origin. And while it talks cliché, it fails to show the source i.e. how did the lead character become a zombie?

With terrible cinematography, direction & setup, India's first zombie origin film sucks to depth. The first half is full of simple, no- narrative sequences which evinces the individuality of the lead character. The last twenty minutes actually shows the gore, zombieness and all that's expected in a horror movie; only it doesn't scare a bit.

Makeup, effects, music & cast performance is the only laudable thing, but since the foundation itself crooked, they don't matter at all. 2.3 out of 10 for incomparable stupidity & insanity on screen. And the romance just tops it with ridicule.

BOTTOM LINE: Not recommended as it will eventually waste time to say what we all perhaps know through our surrounding info flow. Very bad attempt.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

This is by far the worst movie I ever watched in all genres. The theater was absolutely empty. Cheap production quality shows right from the beginning.The movie is as slow and monotonous. Its a 10 min movie stretched over 2 hrs in the worst way possible. It lacks content and never catches your attention even for a second. Poor direction, poor script, poor screenplay and sub par acting.

For the Gory parts - I am absolutely sure these guys did not watch a single Hollywood movie for inspiration. The good thing is its absolutely original how else could it be this boring.I would rather watch a guy eating KFC chicken for over 2 hrs than watch this movie. Please save yourself and your family.
