''Rampage'' is a 2009 independent film directed by Creator/UweBoll starring Creator/BrendanFletcher in the lead role. The plot concerns a young man named Bill Williamson posting vlog rants about how the world is overpopulated and society's going down the drain, while building a suit of body armor and stocking up on weapons, leading up to a bloodthirsty rampage through his town. Amazingly, given the poor reputation of its director, [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct it's actually a pretty good movie]]. The sequels are about Bill trying to rile up others through means of Internet or television to join in on his rampage.

A sequel, ''Rampage: Capital Punishment'', was released in 2014. The third and final film, ''Rampage: President Down'' was later released in 2016, which served as Boll's last film as a director. It was to be funded on Kickstarter, but failed to make its goal. Because of this Uwe Boll decided to retire from filmmaking after ''President Down'' and will no longer be making any movies at least until he acquires enough funding to resume making movies.

Despite its name and the fact that it's made by a director most famous for video game adaptations, it is not connected to [[{{VideoGame/Rampage}} Midway's series or the 2018 movie adaptation]].

* BottomlessMagazinesBottomlessMagazines: Bill fires countless rounds from his submachine guns and is only ever clearly seen reloading once. However, by the end of the movie he’s using a handgun, a knife, and bombs instead, suggesting that he really did run out of ammo for the submachine guns.

* RealityIsUnrealistic: There was [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1337057/board/thread/170127496 a big thread]] on the film's Website/IMDb message board saying how this movie was entirely unrealistic and could just never happen in real life. And then the Utoya summer camp massacre, which played out almost exactly like Bill's killing spree (a bombing to distract the cops, followed by a run-and-gun massacre). To quote one of the posters:
