From Google.com:

The Rezort (also known as Generation Z) is a 2015 British sci-fi horror film directed by Steve Barker. It is a Jurassic Park-style spin on the zombie genre, where humanity has survived a global undead apocalypse and the remaining zombies are contained on a secure island where tourists pay to hunt them for sport. [1, 2]

The Premise & Characters
​

• The Setup: Following the devastation of a massive zombie war, an entrepreneur named Valerie Wilton builds "The Rezort"—an exclusive, heavily secured island resort near the African coast where guests use high-powered weapons to hunt zombies.
• The Protagonists: The story primarily follows Melanie (Jessica De Gouw), a young woman suffering from severe PTSD after losing her father in the war, who visits the island under a therapist's advice to find closure. She is joined by her ex-soldier boyfriend, Lewis (Martin McCann).
• The Other Guests: The diverse group of hunters includes a hardened veteran of the zombie war named Archer (Dougray Scott), an undercover activist for zombie rights, and two thrill-seeking young men looking for a cheap adrenaline rush. [3, 5]

The Plot
​

• The Breakdown: The tropical getaway goes horribly wrong when one of the guests—a covert sympathizer with the undead rights movement—sneaks into the central computer systems. She unknowingly uploads a virus that disables the electrified fences and containment controls.
• The Chaos: The security grid collapses, releasing thousands of starving, bloodthirsty zombies. The guests and staff are suddenly stranded in the middle of the containment zone, forced to fight for survival against the very creatures they paid to hunt.
• The Twist: As they race toward the main bunker for rescue, the survivors uncover a much darker, systemic conspiracy driving the resort's creation. [1, 2, 3, 7]
