Verdict on Rippy
Recap
The movie follows a group of small-town residents facing off against a deadly zombie kangaroo. It has been killing the locals, and now the threat must be stopped before it takes out any more of the locals.
Best Parts
This fits the concept of a B-movie monster film. It has a small town fighting an unstoppable monster or animal, and doesn’t hold back on the blood and violence of the attacks. The performances are good for the style of movie.
Worst Parts
The idea is fun and works for B-movies, but it doesn’t have too much fresh to the idea. Yes, we get a zombie kangaroo, but the character arcs are generic and don’t add too much to supporting the characters or diving into what caused the kangaroo to act the way it does.
Final Thoughts – Rippy is a fun B-movie horror movie.
