Here's the movie in a nutshell: You're an old fogey named Fred. He talks to himself. He's upset that his feet are killing him. He goes out into a zombie infested City and searches for a new pair of slippers. Along the way he kills TONS of zombies. The movie is an animated gore fest.
The movie is without a doubt a labor of love. Frank Sudol is the man behind the ENTIRE production. And he did a hell of a job. Awesome work dude!! This looks and kind of feels like a video game. Not a bad thing whatsoever. If you're expecting fluid motion animation, nope it's not that. More on the line of old South Park, but better drawings, much better.
The movie itself was done incredibly well, but I thought the film dragged a little. Some scenes might have been a tad lengthy, but that's only because Frank was being realistic, he knew how many zombies were around and how many he'd needed to show killed, so it wouldn't be questionable with an escape or what have you. Even when there was gore on screen and killing going on, I still felt "ok, let's get on with it." There were in my opinion too many scenes of zombies eating. But hey, what the hell else are you supposed to show? The movie has tons of gore, a pretty funny old man (personally nothing laugh out loud), and an original take on zombies. City of Rott was an immediate purchase for myself. I heard about it and immediately bought it. For fans of animated movies and zombie/gore this should definitely be checked out. If you love animated movies, zombies and gore, like myself, show respect to Frank Sudol and buy his f&cking movie.
