Office Uprising

"Office Uprising" (2018, Lin Oeding, Mind the Gap Productions, Rumble Riot Pictures) is a horror comedy set in the large office building.

Desmond (Brenton Thwaites) works at a weapon manufacturing company called Ammotech. He mostly likes getting stoned in the stationary cupboard, and this turns out to be a good decision because he manages to avoid trying out the company's new weaponised energy drink that they distribute to their employees. When the drink turns the majority of people in the building into raging psychopathic zombies intent on killing everyone in sight, Desmond, his crush Samantha (Jane Levy) and best pal, Mourad (Karad Soni), attempt to escape with their lives.

A cheesy, entertaining piece of slapstick horror which doesn't really ask its audience to think too hard. It doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the table, but the gore is good, the action is entertaining, the comedy is well timed and overall the film delivers exactly what you'd expect from the synopsis.
