Wonderful character development!
the audience applauded
Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
THE ZOMBIE KING is a British comedy horror film, made as very much a SHAUN OF THE DEAD rip-off with northern-style humour throughout. Thus we get lots of exaggerated jokes, lots of lame character humour, and broad accents. The stars of the piece are ostensibly Edward Furlong and Corey Feldman, but both have little screen time and instead much of the narrative is occupied by a bunch of unknowns who go through the streets avoiding zombies wherever they can.Furlong has a supporting role as the titular character, a down-on-his-luck chap who accidentally caused a zombie epidemic when trying to bring his wife back to life. Feldman has a one scene cameo as the lord of all evil, if you can believe that. Most of the budget must have gone on flying the two actors over to the UK to shoot their brief scenes. The rest is a waste of time.
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.
No to be at all negative when i begin, but i had no particular hopes for this film. I watched it with my daughter who is a fan of zombie fiction, series and so forth. I expected all out gore but what i found was a well thought out, unique spin on a well worn genre. It had a wonderful cast and the comedy was excellent (barring a few rather cruder moments for my tastes). Overall i enjoyed this film and would most certainly watch it again. I know my daughter would agree. Well worth your time and i cannot at all understand how it is averaging so low? This is a film that i feel many would enjoy, though it is still quite niche it is a refreshing change.
The Zombie King is obviously extremely low budget. I was prepared to make allowances because of this. However the film has numerous flaws that no amount of money could improve. The script is supposed to be a comedy horror story. Unfortunately its neither scary or amusing. It drags from the earliest moment and never seems to pick up.The acting is embarrassingly amateurish. Nobody in this film is going to win an Oscar. THe two "names" add nothing.Bizarrely even the make up fails entirely. The zombies look like nothing more than what they are. Bad actors in poorly applied make up.I hope my feelings on this movie are entirely clear.
