Rot

It's a shame such fantastic cover art was used on such a piss poor film. I'm convinced that all the good reviews about this film are throw away accounts of the director.

Don't bother watching - the acting is stiff, the dialogue is as hollow as holy hell, and plot is boring enough to make traffic seem fun. The climax is pretty funny although I don't think the intent was humor.

Crumby LA faux-horror that is a stinky smear on the resume of every person involved.

Made by i guess semipros and civilian amateurism actors. its a kind of 1,2,3,4, every step in a row film about a sinister disorder made by a fungobacterivirus that has erupted within the walls of a senior care center, its spread via direct contact, e.g. kissing and biting, and the first spreader is a male nurse(its me???, kissed by a little ol lady.

its also the story about a adult group of adults that are somewhat connected to it all, and the crazy outrage starts spinning of, a bit original take i would say, its without any special effects, and use scream and sound as best as it can. musically its not much to tell, its a big minus the way the music has been edited.

but the humongous problem with the edition i saw was the sound quality, that appeared like two youghurt and a mile of fishing line to talk to one another with, like living in a box, a metal box, terribel and double terribel.

but if you are lucky they might work that out later, the filmographic impression are good, the acting are what i did expect considering economy, and the story do have some tense moments.

and if you are extremely patient you will be able to experience some sexual horror too!!! when and where i shall not say other than my adhd relative got the eyes wide open and making me start howling, so its a small recommend from the grumpy old man

I was bored stupid for most of this movie. Waded through the continuity errors, endlessly boring dialogue and really bad acting. Then the last ten minutes I sat there with my mouth hanging open wondering if I'd wandered into a wannabe film student's Cronenberg nightmare. And the whole 'plot' makes about that much sense as well, which is to say, not at all.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Makes Troll2 look like a masterpiece. Although I did laugh at the end, kinda, in a where did this come from, are you kidding me, this is the cringiest thing I've ever seen kind of way.

Not recommended.

The acting, writing, and directing are all fantastic. The plot is very original and unique. rot isn't a typically Hollywood horror film that fills time with repetitive jump scares, it's a film about complex and believable characters you actually care about enduring tragedies that they don't fully understand.

10/10

The only thing ROT has going for it is we never know just what exactly is causing people to act weird and eventually kill, which gives it its only sense of horror. The rest of the film is filled with absolutely irritating characters, atrocious acting, and a messy as hell script.

Both SHIVERS and BAD BIOLOGY come to mind, although ROT doesn't have the power or entertainment value of either. And when our protagonist finally faces the embodiment of the film's evil, chances are you'll laugh as hard as I did.

Swing and a miss..
