‘Rise of the Zombie' is not the first Indian film to feature zombies but we as a film watching community have always remained confused about the difference between zombies and vampires. The popular Indian horror filmmakers followed the trend of Dracula style monsters that wouldn't be killed. In due course of time, religious symbols evolved as weapons of mass destruction against lifeless corpses, but somehow we refrained from giving zombies a different identity than usual ghost in our typical 'bhoot-pret wale films'. 'Rise of the Zombie' has the potential to appear monotonous as things become repetitive in the second half, and here the directors lose the grip on the premise they set in the first half. The viewer's first encounter with the jungle is thrilling but then the story restricts itself from piercing deep into it. Watch 'Rise of the Zombie' if you are a die hard zombie fan and possess an appetite for blood and gore.
