• Office Uprising

    From The White Lady@1:229/2 to All on Friday, August 23, 2019 06:21:04

    Zombie comedy-horror set in an office. You can pretty much play it all out
    in your head just from that. Passable (just) with a few funny lines. Barely worth mentioning except there is fuck fucking all going on in the horror
    world these days, is there? Fortunately I'll never run out of Nicolas Cage movies.

    Here's the synopsis:

    'Desmond is an underachiever working at Ammotech, a major weapons
    manufacturing firm. However, Desmond soon discovers Zolt, a popular
    energy drink created by the military, has turned his boss and coworkers
    into violent psychopaths. Now Desmond must finally rise to the challenge
    in order to survive a building full of psychotic coworkers armed with
    the newest weaponry.'

    We've seen the office workers under siege scenario often enough so I'm
    not sure if OFFICE UPRISING has anything new to offer. But I might still
    give it a go.

    Isn’t that basically the plot of BIOZOMBIE?

    Came accross this on Netflix whilst looking for something appropriate to
    watch this Halloween.

    Essentially a rehash of Mayhem (which itself was a rehash of the Belko Experiment) crossed with Zombieland.

    A tardy employee at a weapons manufacturing firm, turns up late for work
    one morning. Only to find everyone has been affected by some sort of
    chemical agent in a designer soft drink the company gave out to their
    workers.

    Subsequently, he has to battle his way through the hoardes of infected employees who are attacking each other, rescue his girlfriend from the
    next office and find a way out after the building is placed in lockdown.

    Quite enjoyed it, gave me a few good chuckles, but not the most original
    film. Passed 90mins quite well anyway.

    The scenario sounded so familiar that I had to watch the trailer to
    determine that I have not seen it previously. Netflix streaming in the
    U.S. does not offer the film. It is available on Sony Crackle.

    Yeah, I have definitely seen some sort of horror comedy with the same idea.
    No clue what it was called either. Maybe it was that MAYHEM but that doesn't sound familiar.

    Mayhem starred Steven Yeun from The Walking Dead if that jogs any memories?

    Belko Experiment had a similar premise, though that was essentally
    Battle Royale meets The Office.

    BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS, INHUMAN RESOURCES and THE NIGHT WATCHMEN are three
    more office-based comedy horrors worth seeing.

    It does which is ironic because I'm now pretty sure I haven't seen it.

    The adverts looked kind of interesting but never got round to it.
