In Re Kill, the plot is set after the outbreak has already happened. The film is bookended with footage of a young girl watching an episode of Re-Kill in her home, and that episode is the movie, complete with fake commercials. As the show is supposed to be a live, documentary-type show, the movie is shot in the found footage style.

The characters in Re Kill act pretty much how you would expect them to: very tough and gung-ho on the outside, when you can really tell that it’s just an act to help them get through what they do. There are tidbits of interviews with each person edited into the episode of Re-Kill, so that you get to know some of them a little bit, but not really enough to feel all that bad when the inevitable happens.

The fake commercials provide a lot of comic relief for the film and give the audience a chance to take a break from the more frenetic energy of the main story.
