The Zombie King

A British zom com that tries to duplicate Shaun Of The Dead, but no dice. The producers figured they would make more money if they brought over Edward Furlong and Corey Feldman to star in it. Maybe they should have done their homework. Edward is in it Furlonger than he usually appears in flicks these days. Corey on the other hand has maybe three minutes screen time.

The film is just flat. You want it to be over after ten minutes. Most of the story is told through flashbacks but then show some of them again and again. The time lines get all funky to. This wasn't suspense just annoying as hell. The ending will bother people but by that point you won't really care.

I wasn't sure what I would make of this film before i saw it and I must say i was pleasantly surprised. Now don't get me wrong, it is not going to be winning an Oscar but for a popcorn movie and some light entertainment it really is fun! I would have maybe liked to see a tad more horror, but in terms of entertainment value i was pleased. There was some fantastic acting and the cast were great, some weaker characters but the central ones of the milkman, postie and traffic warden were a hoot and some great acting from some of the supporting characters too. As a comedy this is definitely a winner and as a horror it was good enough to be enjoyable, great for a night in when you want to chill after along hard day. Well done.

Shaun of the dead, blah, blah, blah. Reminds me of all the Blair Witch knock-offs that came after that mess.

Come on, if the best you can say it was a cheap version of Shaun of the Dead, that is not a review. Here are some filmmakers/frustrated actors that needed some D-list stars for their posters. The writer/actor/filmmakers dug up $50-$60k for two American former drug addicts to give the 12 fans they have between them a thrill.

Boring, low on action and so obtuse I would not have known the plot without reading the synopsis on IMDb. If you're going to hire Feldman, at least use him. This was almost a cameo. Furlong was about as exciting as a wet rag with his flaccid acting.

The Brit zombies all walked like they were trained by Elvis and made up by Kate Moss. The other characters were recycled from other movies. It was like a compilation or maybe a "cover" of other movie characters .

Not even worth the bandwidth off a torrent and probably relegated to the $2 bin at Walmart soon,

I guess this tries to be like Shaun of the Dead a little bit. Unfortunately it never really achieves those heights. Even more unfortunate is seeing Edward Furlong and what he has become (literally and metaphorically, in his career and in this movie). Once seen as something that could be a great actor, he can't even deliver (or maybe he doesn't bother to) in a movie like this.

The character of munch might be the most fun one here, but overall there is a feeling of dread. There are subplots and some funny characters that work occasionally, but it doesn't add up. So while some jokes are funny others miss their mark completely, making this an odd experience. Not always in a good sense. You may try it, if you are into B-movies, but there is no guarantee you'll find it amusing

There is not a single solitary thing to recommend here. The acting is embarrassing, the directing is cringeworthy, the plot nonexistent. The zombies look vaguely hungover. There is nothing scary, funny or interesting about this pitiful effort.
