Review of Last Rites

Last Rites (2006 Video)
5/10
Gangs of the Dead
5 February 2019
This film begins with a small group of homeless people gathered together near an underpass when a meteor crashes down nearby and knocks them to the ground. Upon recovering these homeless people have all turned into flesh-eating zombies. Meanwhile, a few members of a black gang arrive at a nearby wearhouse to make an illegal transaction. While they are there discussing business with their supplier a few members of a rival Hispanic gang just happen to arrive due to confusion over the time for their own transaction. This immediately causes some problems which only gets worse when a couple of police officers suddenly appear-with a monstrous horde of zombies seeking to gain entry into the warehouse as well. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, for a low-budget zombie production, this film wasn't nearly as bad as I initially thought it would be. Admittedly, while it didn't offer anything that was unusual or unique, the plot kept my attention and the acting was generally sufficient as well. I especially liked the performance of Noel Gugliemi (as "Caesar") who played his part to near perfection. At any rate, while this film clearly isn't Academy Award material, I thought it was good enough for the time spent and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
