Rise of the Zombies (2012)

Rise of the Zombies: Directed by Nick Lyon. With Mariel Hemingway, Ethan Suplee, LeVar Burton, Danny Trejo. When zombies overrun San Francisco, a desperate group survives by locking themselves inside Alcatraz Prison. When the undead breach the island, our heroes are forced to return to the mainland overrun with the undead.

“I rarely write reviews, but this was so bad that I had to write an angry one to warn others that may flip thru the channels and catch this, thinking what I did – u0026quot;thereu0026#39;s some awesome names in this, hopefully this gets betteru0026quot;. I was definitely impressed with the Danny Trejo and LeVar Burton being IN the movie, even tickled to see Ethan Suplee, but that enthusiasm died early on in the movie. The acting was absolutely atrocious – these members would randomly be killed and there would be a small, ten-second emotional breakdown, then nothing happened and they just kept trucking on to an ending that made no closing sense whatsoever. Mariel Hemingway was the worst actress I had ever seen and itu0026#39;s unfortunate for her that I had never seen her in anything before, but now THIS is whatu0026#39;s ingrained into my memory. I donu0026#39;t know if all that terrible acting was intentional or not, but it completely ruined the movie for me. Then again, as someone else said, this was produced by SyFy so thereu0026#39;s an element of immediate shame once an u0026#39;originalu0026#39; movie is released by that network. Thereu0026#39;s not really anything to give away because, well, the movie ended abruptly and will leave you wanting your hour and a half back.”
