The Rezort

Survivors of a zombie holocaust travel to an expensive island resort, where the last remaining creatures are kept in captivity, but things don't go to plan.

Jurassic Park of the undead. This was a pleasant surprise, since most zombie productions are basement crud while this production is well paced and put together. We're introduced by an after the fact news report, then we get to know the characters before the action kicks in. The zombies are called pacers, but they sure can move, and there are several effective jump scares as they lunge out of nowhere.

The plot makes political points, but more of the earnest type than Romero-style satire, and while the refugee angle turns out interesting you have to wonder why we would have that problem after a big chunk of the population has been wiped out. Turns out movie makers aren't Marxists after all. Duh.

Some of the dialogue is on the nose, and there's a poorly judged sequence as the characters saunter along expositioning to each other just after their deadline for escape has been set. Also, typical of British horror to subject the audience to irritating joke characters. And some "why don't they just close the door?" moments.

Performances are good. Photography good, although the zombies are a bit tame with not enough bizarro images. Editing on the news reports is irritating to begin with, but otherwise fine. Music was lively.

Overall: not perfectly conceived or executed, but good entertainment.

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

Purely based on the entertainment, the acting and the filming The Rezort doesn't deserve more then a five star rating. Maybe a bit more if you base it just on his genre. And by that I mean for a zombie movie it's okay. I saw way worse zombie movies but also much better. In this one the variant is that people go on a safari on an island to shoot zombies and of course it all goes wrong. A lot of shooting, running and biting, the usual zombie stuff. It is what it is, but if you like that kind of stuff then with this movie it is what you will get. I have kind of an overdose of the zombie genre so maybe I'm a bit biased writing about The Rezort. Anyways, it could have been much worse so I won't complain any further.

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.

Right, well anything that even remotely reeks of anything zombie, and my interest is caught. And I hadn't even heard of "The Rezort" prior to finding it by sheer luck. I was intrigued by the fancy movie cover, and surprised to realize that it was a zombie movie after having read the synopsis.

I had no expectations to the movie, especially since zombie movies often tend to turn out to be stinkers - no pun intended. However, "The Rezort" was an entertaining movie, albeit it did have its flaws.

The story is set in a post apocalyptic world where zombies have been confined to a remote island where a people pay money to go on a morbid safari, if you will. They are equipped with guns and can shoot zombies on the island. However, due to a security breach, something goes awry with the system and the zombies break free of their containment, chasing after those who where there to put them down.

Right, well the story was original, and it was actually quite entertaining. So a big thumbs up on that part. It was nice to watch something new and refreshing for a change, as zombie movies tend to stick to the traditional Romero-blueprint.

However, the movie wasn't of the biggest of budgets, and that was reflected in the special effects and zombie make-up department. I am not saying that they were B-movie bad, not at all. I am just saying that they could have profited from having better effects and make-up, because some of it was questionable.

Personally I have a hard time with zombies, or infected people, who are agile and running around. It just doesn't sit well with me. So it was a notch downward when they introduced fast, agile and running zombies in "The Rezort".

Honestly, then I don't recall any of the acting performances to stand out. With that being said, I am not saying that people were doing poor jobs. No, what I am saying is that people did good enough jobs, although there just wasn't anyone who was particularly outstanding or memorable.

All in all an entertaining movie, with a nice fresh take on the zombie genre. "The Rezort" is well worth watching, if you haven't already seen it, just as it is a welcomed addition to the movie collection of any zombie aficionado.
