Featured reviews
This movie is exactly what I expected going into it. It's got a straightforward premise where these guys are locked in at a office building with zombie-like workers. I like the premise. I also liked the chemistry between the Brenton Thwaite, Jane Levy and Karan Soni. Zachary Levi as the villain worked. There's violence and blood if you're into that type of movies.
So, slacker worker bee in accounting lazes his way in life until the company is exposed to something and almost everyone turns violent. With tongue in cheek black comedy. And if you've seen any film of this nature, you know exactly what is going to unfold. Decently done and the funny is good and the violence nicely bloody. But nothing much more than that.
It started out good, there were a number of funny scenes like the old lady, and the deadpool guy cracked me up in lotta scenes, ie. "war face", I actually laughed pretty hard at that part. The chemistry with the leads was good as well. Mabye I was expecting way more but It's one of those films that's good to watch when you're bored
Office Uprising is the latest in a spate of office themed horror movies, and you know what? It's kind of good.
It follows a young office employee having the worst shift of his life as overnight everyone in his building turns psychotic thanks to a mysterious new energy drink.
Starring Zachary "Shazam" Levi, Gregg Henry, Kurt Fuller, Karan "Dopinder from Deadpool" Soni and Alan "Former Aquaman" Ritchson the movies cast manage to deliver in this enjoyable comedy horror.
Hyper violent, frantic, yet with substance and a lot of well done comedy this was one of those unknown little gems I'm really glad I watched. Sure it's far from flawless but it managed to entertain and that's something most of it's ilk seem incapable of doing lately.
But something has to be addressed, this is advertised as a zombie movie! I know zombies are "In" but stop lying! Zombies are undead for crying out loud, stop claiming that every movie where people turn violent is a zombie film! I seem to have developed a real chip on my shoulder about that, it's just rampant and dishonest.
Office Uprising is an enjoyable take your brain out 90 minutes of violence and laughs, it does exactly what it says on the tin...................minus the zombies.
The Good:
Stylish
Some great comedy
Cast deliver (Especially Levi)
The Bad:
NOT a zombie film

This film tells story of an office worker for a weapons manufacturer, whose co-workers are turned into zombies by an energy drink.
The film actually starts out not too bad and quite funny. However once the horror/zombie bit comes in, it falls apart. The horror effects are good. Plenty of blood and gore but it gets a bit dull. Some of the effects are pretty poor. The jokes fall flat. There is little action. Its not really that scary or gory.
Although it was well acted, I had no connection to the characters. I really didn't care by the end what happened to them.
It is a shame as there is some great acting and the first bit of the film shows promise. It would probably been better if it had been kept as a straight office comedy rather than trying to make it a horror.
