I'm a big fan of low budget horror with good stories.

The good stories being the key point.

I can even excuse amateurish directing, but wow this is terrible!

I cannot over stress the general weirdness of this film, and most of these choices that ended up being terrible were narrative ones, meaning it was the writing and direction at fault, not the budget.

There's a "kid", I guess? It's so weird that everyone in the cast treats some guy like a little kid when CLEARLY he's about 30-40 years old. What. The. Heck. It gets especially weird when an adult woman tries to "console" the "young one" (?).

Overall it's just an homage / ripoff of the original NOTLD, it's even a very similar setting.

What an insult to that classic film. This film is just so bad it hurt to watch it.

Avoid.

I've seen worse movies than this. For a while I thought it was dubbed because the lips weren't syncd, but then the black guy showed up and it was obvious it was American, just poorly shot. It would've had a 4* but the last 20/25 minutes dragged on. The house scene at the end was just an annoyance of watching that mother lady run around like a chicken with its head cut off. The ending also was cheap and terrible. All that just for him to die by some good ol boys. Oh and him not talking also was annoying.

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.
