It’s been five years since the Re-Animates (better known as
zombies) outbreak and the world has tried to move on from the decimation of
most of the world’s population. It is up
to the military’s R-Division to handle the Re-Animates when there is a problem
and the film crew of Re-Kill (2015) to film it.
In a world where zombies almost out number humans the members of
R-Division are task with keeping the public aware of the fight against the
undead.
Told from the perspective of a “live” television show
(complete with commercials and ads) the program Re-Kill is all about getting
into the mind of the soldiers on the front lines before and after their deaths
in real life (as most of them die in combat).
The film is written by Michael Hurst and directed by Valeri
Milev and it is a film that horror fans will enjoy. It has enough horror, gore, and zombie action
to satisfy even the most jaded. Even the
style of the “found footage” or “reality show” style won’t deter you from
enjoying this film as it plays like a war film on zombie crack. The make-up FX are excellent and the action
sequences are fierce and numerous.
If there is one thing working against the films, it’s that
you never really get into the heads of any of the soldiers except for maybe one
but then that also works in the film’s favor as you never know who is going to
live or die which is the element you want in a good horror film. A film I recommend for fans of zombie films.
