The Rezort (2015)

I was quite surprised by this movie, firstly to discover it was British, seems like a genre forgotten in Britain in recent times, and secondly I was surprised by how good it was. The concept was quite unique I thought, not the typical Zombie break out film, more a Zombie break in movie. People paying to gun down Zombies in a post zombie attack world, combined with some dark charity work dealings it made for interesting viewing. Less graphic and gory then equivalent American productions, I think it's fair to say the film focused more on the scenario. well acted, Jessica de Gouw and Dougray Scott both pretty good. Some very fine scenes, I thought the end chase looked fantastic, very reminiscent of World War Z. If you go in with moderate expectations you may be pleasantly surprised.

Gotta give it up to the actors. With the blatant thefts in the script department, no actor phoned it in. Not that they were Oscar-worthy, especially the Rezort founder, but they did their parts despite the barely hour devoted to changing this from Jurassic Park 1, 2, 4 and many more sci-fi films of recent years. Add them to the make-up crew who also showed up prepared to do their best, and you don't have a complete throw-away film.The Rezort tells the tale after the zombie outbreak war that segregated zombies to one specific island where tourists feel secure to hunt and kill the remaining zombies. But, what could possibly go wrong? Duh. Movie.Really, if you aren't as critical as me and haven't seen 97% of the movies I have, you might enjoy this Zombie Park film. Thanks to the cast and make-up artists, it made a barely recommendation from me. ***Final thoughts: At least Kevin Shen, the "tour guide," was cute enough to keep my interest. Oh, and the Walking Dead rip-off (who also appeared in World War Z,) Sadie was cool. See? It's not all that bad.

This is Jurassic World with Zombies. The characters are quite stereotypical so the English brats are real English brats and the morose protagonist is morose all the time. However, compared to Jurassic World, they are at least rational and suit their parts. You don't have a bimbo lady in charge of a billion-dollar park not knowing what to do when things go wrong. Instead you have a fairly dominant and strong woman in charge. The same with most other characters. The makeup and special effects are good and there's nothing that takes away from the fantasy world you're watching. The plot is okay. It's not Swiss cheese like most blockbusters. All in all, a good zombie movie. If they had thrown a few more million dollars on top of it, this would have been excellent.

A zombie pandemic that has claimed 2 billion lives is finally over, the remaining undead kept on an island where guests can pay to shoot the carefully restrained reanimated corpses with high-powered firearms. Unfortunately for the resort's latest visitors, the technology designed to keep them safe from harm goes on the blink, allowing the living dead to satisfy their hunger for human flesh once more.Put simply, The Rezort is Jurassic Park with zombies. But director Steve Barker is no Spielberg, and his modest budget can only stretch so far, which means that the promising premise really isn't given the treatment it deserves. Barker doesn't do a terrible job given the circumstances, I suppose, keeping the pace going at a decent lick, but with limited gore, not enough scares, and a cast whose only 'star' is Dougray Scott (i.e., he's the only one I've heard of), this is ultimately just another in a long line of unexceptional zombie flicks.
