I stumbled upon the 2020 movie "Rebirth" here in 2021, and with it being a zombie movie, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it. I should, however, perhaps have read the movie's synopsis prior to watching it.
Why? Well, "Rebirth" turned out to be a remake or reinvention of the classic George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead"; a movie that have been remade a couple of times already before. So this 2020 remake was fully and utterly unnecessary. Yet, I still sat through it.
I must say that "Rebirth" from writer and director Roger Conners was a bitter pill to swallow. First of all, the fact that it was a remake of a movie that had already been remade before was just pointless. And then Roger Conners went and opted to replace the Barbara character from the original movie with a gay guy named Adam. What? Seriously? Yeah, that was just utter rubbish. This whole political correctness that sweeps through Hollywood is just laughable.
Then there were the thing with the glowing eyes of the zombies. What was that all about? It just made no sense, and it just made the movie come off as being more rubbish and as a joke. It was so hard to take it serious with this. And the fact that the zombies were making growling noises that no human would be able to vocally produce just didn't help to sell the movie either.
The acting in the movie were sort of adequate, for the most parts. Mind you, you are not in for amazing performances here, nor will you see any Award winning performances in the midst of the performers here either.
Visually then the movie was sort of a swing and a miss. The majority of the zombie make-up and effects was just barely passable, so there wasn't much of any meat here for us gore fans, pardon the pun.
While I managed to sit through this ordeal, then "Rebirth" is a movie that came and went without as much as a groan or a bite. And it failed utterly to leave a lasting mark on the zombie genre at large. I am not going to be sitting down to watch "Rebirth" a second time, nor is it a movie that I would recommend any zombie fan to rush out and get their hands on.
My rating of "Rebirth" lands on a three out of ten stars. It was a completely unnecessary remake, and one that failed to deliver much of a bite at that.
