The best thing about "City of Rott" is the main character, an strange elderly man which apparently is losing his mind: While at first sight his role in this kind of story seem a bit odd, the truth is that he shows a more interesting development than the rest of the cast, which are merely the typical clichés from zombie movies.I have to admit that, to certain point, it was very funny (and awesome) to see an old man fight alone against a whole army of zombies, only using his walker as a weapon (And even more awesome, is the fact that the old man is able to fight as the most fierce action hero) but as the movie advances, it turns very repetitive and boring.The animation quality isn't exactly what I would call incredible, but I have to recognize that this had a good atmosphere and some interesting designs (Mostly concerned to the sceneries and the zombies) On the other side, the last part of the film was very disappointing: There was a moment when things apparently end, but instead of that, the film just goes on and on, turning a bit tedious.There are some qualities about "City of Rott" that deserve some recognition, but the overall result feels like something forgettable at best, despite all the violence and gore.

As someone who generally can't get into anime because of the over the top humor, and clichés, it's rare and refreshing to find an adult animated horror film made outside Asia, that delivers bloody zombie carnage that I cherish so much. Unfortunately this film has several faults that bog it down. First the good- Seeing an elderly man dispatch the living dead in bloody and inventive ways mostly with his trustee walker ( which talks to him by the way). The Bad- The story really falls apart towards the end, and for the last twenty minutes or so the film just kind of wanders around like it has no idea where to go.I hate to give the film an average rating, but ultimately the last part fell apart, and I really thought the dialogue could have been a little more clever and humorous. I'll give the film a very generous 7 out of 10, because this type of film is very rare for guys like me who aren't into anime.

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!

City of Rott is a full-length animated zombie movie - yup, you heard right. Disney, however, it ain't.Imagine Peter Jackson's splatterfest Braindead, only in cartoon form, and with twice the gore, and you are halfway to what City of Rott is dealing to us horror fiends.Rott City is an American metropolis that has been wiped out by a zombie infestation of biblical proportions. Hordes (and I mean HORDES)of undead stagger around Romero style, searching for the few survivors eking out a meager existence.Fred is a gnarly old dude, who just wants to find a new pair of slippers. His companion is his trusty walker, which talks to him. Or more precisely, it bitches at him a lot, warns him of zombie attackers, and acts as a lethal weapon against any ghoul who dares to mess with Fred.This is Fred's story.Poor guy just wants some quality footwear and to be left alone.City of Rott is funny, trippy and very, very, gory. The animation is kind of basic, almost South Park style in its execution. It's the artwork itself that is incredibly striking - uniquely stylised and full of over-saturated colours and grotesque creations. It's unlike anything I've seen before, and all the better for it.Rott is a whole bunch of fun. The humour is sublimely weird, and the setup strangely fresh in such a tired genre. The holocaust has been caused by nasty little parasitic worms, that arrive one day in rainfall. They kill the host, reanimate them, then set them on a search for more food to sustain them. There turns out to be more than one type of worm, which leads to an interesting plot twist.The movie has its problems. Its 70 minute runtime suffers from padding and repetition, and it has more false endings than Lord of the Rings. The ultimate conclusion, in fact quite a bit of the 'third act', went over my head. Maybe a second viewing will clear things up.Ultimateley, though,City of Rott is a triumph of sheer gruey imagination, and was put together pretty much by one guy. I hope we get to see more.
