Rectangular_businessman The best thing about "City of Rott" is the main character, an strange elderly man which apparently is losing his mind: While at first sight his role in this kind of story seem a bit odd, the truth is that he shows a more interesting development than the rest of the cast, which are merely the typical clichés from zombie movies.I have to admit that, to certain point, it was very funny (and awesome) to see an old man fight alone against a whole army of zombies, only using his walker as a weapon (And even more awesome, is the fact that the old man is able to fight as the most fierce action hero) but as the movie advances, it turns very repetitive and boring.The animation quality isn't exactly what I would call incredible, but I have to recognize that this had a good atmosphere and some interesting designs (Mostly concerned to the sceneries and the zombies) On the other side, the last part of the film was very disappointing: There was a moment when things apparently end, but instead of that, the film just goes on and on, turning a bit tedious.There are some qualities about "City of Rott" that deserve some recognition, but the overall result feels like something forgettable at best, despite all the violence and gore.

baphythegoat I am both a zombie film fan (A la Romero, and Simon Pegg) and an animation buff. I'm also fairly picky. City of Rott seems to have been someone's kitchen sink project that managed to get enough distribution to find it's charmingly awkward way into my local Hollywood Video. I rented it with fairly low expectations, and wasn't terribly disappointed. When I looked at the box in the store, I guessed that C.o.R would be quirky, at times repetitive, uneven, and (shudder) possibly entirely Flash animation. It turns out I wan't terribly off base in my assessment (all points)...The Good: It was great to see an angry, kooky "elderly" protagonist. There was enough in the way of Zombie-buff in-jokes (read the signs in the background- there's as much going on there at times as in the foreground) and silly, ham-handed social commentary to give me a few good giggles. I found it worth a watch. The Bad: Man... 77minutes of average quality Flash-based animation...one (just one) interesting character...ooh..uhh... hmmm... did I mention the 77 minutes of quirky flash animation? A cludgy script with a few really brylllunt moments...could have said it better in under an hour.... crunchy industrial techno score ground out relentlessly until the bitter end...My Verdict: Again... for fans of Zombiedom, worth 1 watch.

birdie15 City of Rott is a full-length animated zombie movie - yup, you heard right. Disney, however, it ain't.Imagine Peter Jackson's splatterfest Braindead, only in cartoon form, and with twice the gore, and you are halfway to what City of Rott is dealing to us horror fiends.Rott City is an American metropolis that has been wiped out by a zombie infestation of biblical proportions. Hordes (and I mean HORDES)of undead stagger around Romero style, searching for the few survivors eking out a meager existence.Fred is a gnarly old dude, who just wants to find a new pair of slippers. His companion is his trusty walker, which talks to him. Or more precisely, it bitches at him a lot, warns him of zombie attackers, and acts as a lethal weapon against any ghoul who dares to mess with Fred.This is Fred's story.Poor guy just wants some quality footwear and to be left alone.City of Rott is funny, trippy and very, very, gory. The animation is kind of basic, almost South Park style in its execution. It's the artwork itself that is incredibly striking - uniquely stylised and full of over-saturated colours and grotesque creations. It's unlike anything I've seen before, and all the better for it.Rott is a whole bunch of fun. The humour is sublimely weird, and the setup strangely fresh in such a tired genre. The holocaust has been caused by nasty little parasitic worms, that arrive one day in rainfall. They kill the host, reanimate them, then set them on a search for more food to sustain them. There turns out to be more than one type of worm, which leads to an interesting plot twist.The movie has its problems. Its 70 minute runtime suffers from padding and repetition, and it has more false endings than Lord of the Rings. The ultimate conclusion, in fact quite a bit of the 'third act', went over my head. Maybe a second viewing will clear things up.Ultimateley, though,City of Rott is a triumph of sheer gruey imagination, and was put together pretty much by one guy. I hope we get to see more.

Cristian Malmros I can't after watching this movie decide if it is either good or bad (hence the 5 out of 10) The story is just pointless and the 77 minute long movie consists of nothing but blood and gore and some slow scenes which just makes you feel really weird. I can't in any way figure out what this movie is supposed to be good for. I didn't hate watching it but i didn't really enjoy it either. It's impossible to say if this movie will be a waste of your time since i think it completely depends on what kind of person you are or just how bored you are If the creator of this movie however makes another one I'm almost certain that i will check it out. There is after all something really special about City of Rott.
