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!!!

I had never heard of this movie and had only come across it whilst searching for some zombie movies to satisfy my hunger.It was an unusual yet interesting watch to begin with; I've never seen a full animated zombie movie before.The plot was simple and to the point, even though it may not have made proper sense, it was funny.I found Fred to be a great lead character and enjoyed him throughout...well...You'll find out the rest.All in all, I enjoyed it quite a lot, may not have been the best movie ever but if you are into zombie flicks/animation this will satisfy your hunger. There is also some good animated gore too, never thought I'd say that.ZJ

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.

Do you like zombie movies with lots of gore? Do like weird animated movies? This little zombie flick may still not be for you. There will be a select little group of people that will "get" this movie, and to those lucky people it will be awesome. Once I got into it I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Instead of the usual frantic group of people running for their lives you have one senile old man and his walker looking for a pair of shoes. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of zombies, and plenty of bloodshed. Thats definitely what makes this film unique. If your looking for a way different take on zombie film then this flick just might be for you!
