Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer

Movies like this are what Hollywood is missing right now. "Atom" is a perfect example of how great storytelling and creativity trump budget any day of the week. A unique story with lots of heart, Atom gives you a dynamic protagonist to root for, heartbreak, a douchey villain, all against the backdrop of a bowling alley. Drench in gratuitous blood and guts, add in some nudity, a decapitation here and there, and you've got a perfect storm. This indie horror comedy is not to miss, especially by fans of Troma films and the like. You won't regret a single one of the 80 gory minutes of cinematic gold that Bizjack/Flemco serves up. Lobby your local art-house theater for this film to be screened! Its a must see, and as my review title suggests, a bloody good time for all!

Richard and Zack have much to be proud of with this their first feature length offering. Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer is a fun splatter filled horror comedy that literally made my watching companion dry heave just a little, that alone is a huge compliment to this style of film. It is completely in your face unpretentious gore, sex and cheesy laugh driven experience, that is an obvious nod to the Troma films I loved growing up. They even have the King of Troma, Lloyd Kaufman, starring in a pivotal albeit small cameo role of Atoms grandfather.

The story itself revolves around Atom, who being the bowling stud of the community has incurred the wrath of bad boy and fellow competitive bowler Dario. They battle for supremacy of the lanes, and family honor, with their respective teams, unaware that doom lay just around the corner. Our hero Atom seems not to be able to get a break, his nymphomaniac girlfriend plays him, his team is on the wrong side of the bowling alleys owner, and then top it all off with the fact that no matter where Atom goes hes surrounded by the undead. And all the poor guy really wants is to watch a good horror flick and take his team to the bowling nationals in Hawaii, I mean really we can all relate!

I loved this indie film. It is what it says it is, but it also isn't, and believe me I realize how crazy this sounds, but I promise when you watch the film you will have an ah ha moment and know exactly what I'm talking about. Its imaginative in a very clever unexpected way, that in itself is extremely refreshing especially in the ever popular world if Zombies. Add the over the top gore effects, creative kill scenes, ever present T&A, and laugh out loud comedy with some really rocking tunes and you've got a great excuse to flop down in front of the tube with that special someone in your life, that you too want to make heave, just a little!

I saw this in Denver for a double feature night (Midget Zombie Takeover was the second film), and Atom blew the other film out of the water! While the film was a little amateur (the Zombies were a little lame), the jokes were hilarious, fresh, and the absurdity of the film was nicely executed (bowling rivalry AND a Zombie apocalypse?). Oh yeah, Atom's girlfriend is sex- crazed. The sex scenes are pretty raunchy but funny at the same time!

My rating may be a little generous, but as a fan of all things zombie I support it! I also support low-budget films - this is one that for a small budget does a lot.

A must see if you like Zombies!

Giving a strong head-nod to classics such as "The Toxic Avenger"; "Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer" has turned the dead zombie genre back into the undead. It is a heartwarming and stomach churning story of love, lust, bowling, true friendship, and used car sponsorship.

Meticulously crafted by Bizjack Flemco (Richard Taylor & Zack Beins) who have nothing to declare except their genius; "Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer" is the first film in all my years of Troma-Love to make me nearly physically ill. (Don't get me wrong it was not for lack of trying) And after nearly half a decade of walking that line between bad/bad and good/bad they have emerged victorious with the first "Tempestuously/Bad" Film. In the world of Troma films and zombie flicks "Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer" is the train-wreck Mona Lisa. You cant look away its too intoxicating.

All around excellent film! Action, laughs, twists, what else can you ask for? Better than Con Air. I went to the 2nd screening at Starfest 2012 and once again at an actual movie theater for another screening. It gets better every time I watch it. The laughs are hilarious and the gore and effects are awesome. An original "Zombie" movie in a long time that's worth watching. Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer is an exciting roller coaster ride from beginning to end and has the tradition of retro horror and independent modernism that can be viewed by MATURE audiences only and loved by the masses. This film is Cult Classic in the making and should be watched by everyone.
