Well, this movie did come as a super surprise to me. Before i started I hardly expected anything out of the movie, thinking it must be one of those crappy zombie wanna-be movies, but 15-20 minutes into the movie I was just engrossed into it. Its a well written, directed and acted movie, kudos to the team.The movie is about a wildlife photographer who gets bitten by an insect while shooting and his transformation into a zombie. It shows the whole process, emotions and fight of a person while turning man to zombie.I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who is into the Zombie genre and is looking forward to a good zombie movie.

If you are the kind of person who grew playing video-games sitting your butt on the couch and is a zombie fanatic, then do yourself a favor and do not watch this movie!, this is a film intended for those of us what had a life and love for a well-crafted movie. I identified with Neil Parker right away from the beginning, (memories of myself hitchhiking and finding the most beautiful places, and sitting at the top of the mountains), as Neil said "Cheers Mother nature, the best company". Definitely the poster for this movie is misleading, for everyone who expects zombies ripping the meat out of people, in the first thirty minutes, it won't be happening. We get to know our main character in the proper way, constructed little by little into his passion and solitude and well hidden frustration and disdain for a regular life; if you have seen "Into the Wild" you will understand what I am saying. A guy with the same spirit towards nature, and disregard for comfort and monotony, therefore, Neil has a better life than those who disliked the movie, and without a question this is a film worth for a USA remake, why? That would be your question, and the answer is to promote the original, so it can be appreciated on his cinematic value. Still I doubt that any other actor would be capable of being so likable for this role, I think Timothy Olyphant, would be the right one, because of the physical appearance. Somehow this Indian film gave me the chill I felt watching, "Zombie" in 1980 directed by Lucio Fulci, and since I have seen pretty much everything in the zombie genre, it's hard for me be sitting almost two hours through garbage, This is not the case, and "Rise of the Zombie" is going into the list of movies I would recommend to cinephiles, and other people whose knowledge goes above and beyond. I wonder what Roger Ebert would have said if he had the chance to see this film? The reason some dislike this movie is simple, is like opening a can of food for them, and for some of us is like seeing the ingredients and watching them cook for a great flavor!!!

We are a country that is so rooted in superstitions within the horror genre, we haven't gone beyond the ghosts and spirits.. But at the same time we also realize that we have the new generation that is glued to the international popular culture and zombies are a huge part of it.It was a bit of a challenge as you want to put on screen (a film) that has no connection with the already made zombie films. Mostly zombie films are survival films where a bunch of humans survive a bunch of zombies and all the madness that ensues in between. But we wanted to introduce the Indian audiences to the concept of zombie with the story of its origin. So every zombie has a story of how he turned into a zombie and we tell the story of one such human being and what happens to him and how he is unable to cope with it.

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. This is video terrorism if such a term exists. Issued in public interest.
