Best movie of this year hands down!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is a big steaming pile of crap that runs about an hour too long. It is like a worm that will wiggle into your brain, kill you, and leave you a shambling, rotting, mindless husk. The entire movie involves the same scene over and over again - a poorly animated walker repeated splatters equally poorly animated zombies.Plot Summary: A completely unlikeable old man, argues with himself and his walker while looking for a pair of shoes. It's supposed to be funny, but it becomes tedious fast. There is no plot and you quickly find that you hate all of the main characters. Whoever wrote and produced this big, steaming pile of garbage needs to have himself checked for worms in the brain. For a truly funny zombie movie check out Shaun of the Dead or Dead Alive. A law should be passed banning everyone involved in the making of this unfunny ripoff from ever working in motion pictures again.If I am not being clear enough, let me just say, THIS MOVIE STINKS!!! BAD!!!

An elderly man and his trusty walker go in to City of Rott looking for some new slippers. There's only one problem, the city is overrun by blood thirsty zombies. What follows is a gore hounds dream, animation style.What made me watch City of Rott? Well, I was attracted to it by it's cover. A cartoon zombie flick with it's main star wielding a walker. I was kind of reminded of Bubba Ho-Tep, in which the Kinf of Rock and Roll fought against the King of The Dead. I have never heard of COR, but being a fan of horror films, and being intrigued by the cover art, which is unfortunately one of it's few highlights, I bought the flick and watched it immediately. There are some elements in COr that work, but the are few and far between, much of it a a repetitive mess. Then again, what can you expect from a film that was made entirely by one man.Frank Sudol or "FSudol" brings us a film that he wrote, directed, animated, edited, composed, produced, so on and so forth. With it's Flash like animated style, that one would find on such web-sties like "newgrounds" it stands out among other animated films, but it's unique style may put off a lot of viewers who aren't really ready for the basic animated style. Although the detail on the character are quite good and comedic. I was surprised with the variations of zombies that I found in COR, I was expecting the same face to pop up every now and then.The main character, Fred, is alone, unarmed and going insane. Looking for a pair of slippers may sound humorous, but it wears thin after the film starts. After a few chuckles here or there, the rest of the film is not really all that funny. With the comedy not working in this film, there is really only one more thing that it can rely on. It's the gore, and the film features plenty of it.The unrated COR features an abundant amount of blood and gore. Not only do zombies get shot in the head, but they get impaled with spikes, ran over by cars and decapitated by...yup you guessed it, Fred's walker. Fred uses his trusty friend as a weapon to kill the undead. Along with Fred there is a nurse, who quickly becomes a zombie, a random civilian with guns to randomly shoot zombies and another old man, who coincidentally carries the cure to being a zombie.These aren't your regular day to day zombies, this time it's parasitic worms that infest the decaying bodies. It's a new way to spin the zombie tale that could work for a feature film, but here it doesn't seem to flow very well. COR would work very well as a short, but it drags on way too long and crawls pass the finish line. After Fred gets bitten by the zombies the film becomes rather pointless. The only reason for the film to go on like this is for Fred to get the cure, so you know what will happen. Basically the entire film is watching cartoon character beat the living crap out of these zombies. While it is all in good fun, much like the final scene in Dead-Alive. It becomes repetitive in the first 30 minutes, and you are asking yourself if anything new will ever come up.I will give Frank Sudol credit for it being a one man show, it has great blood and guts and a unique animation style that could work as a short film, but COR becomes very boring, very fast. Frank, get more people on the same crew with you, put more time into the production, more then one year, and then come back with a film that will knock our socks off. There is potential here, but it's taken in the wrong direction. Which is a shame, cause the cover art is really kick ass.

Summary: All the World's water is infected with worms that turn people into zombies. This has been happening for a year or two. All water is infected including rain, river, filtered, All of it. An Old Man Named Fred goes through a city just to look for a pair of slippers(Loofers as he calls them) with perfect knowledge that this is happening.The movie is well done. It's genius if anything. The movie is a non stop action film with an unrealistic number of zombies. The movie is insane, full of gore, and funny (in a sense). Although the movie is-in general- for zombie fans. I will agree with Evan Mugford; the walking through scenes are long and there are too many of them but the fighting scenes are to be admired. Over all I say to all the zombie fans of the world SEE THIS MOVIE!

If you have not yet seen City of Rott, rent it before you decide to buy it. First let me tell you about City of Rott and its general storyline. You are introduced to Fred, an elderly man with a walker. You'll be confused right off the bat as to why hes speaking without moving his mouth all the time. You'll realize this is because he speaks to his walker. I found this very tiring to watch, as any time you do not see his face, you may get confused in mid sentence, who's actually speaking until someone is addressed. However, lets continue with..what is Fred doing? Fred's journey through out the entire 77 minutes will revolve around finding new slippers as he expresses early on, his current ones are aching his feet.Now if you're a zombie movie fan or just like gore, you'll enjoy the countless zombie dispatches. The movie is meant to be funny as well, so those looking for a serious zombie movie probably should stay away..as if the fact it was animated didn't give this away anyhow. The movie does take an interesting turn towards the end but unless I am ignorant or something, its a very stale end. After it is all over with, I give this movie a 5 out of 10. It is not a terribly bad movie. It kept me interested through most of it. There were parts where hearing Fred speak constantly grew old and slightly annoying. The voice acting all together seemed pretty uninspired. Notably, a girl character's voice was not that of a girl and seemed like it was a man's voice with the pitch raised. Zombie fans, take this with a grain of salt. Those who aren't, maybe this isn't for you.
