Instead of 'The Zombie King' it should be called 'A couple of bumbling idiots walking around saying stupid things while being filmed'. That's all it is. The so-called Zombie King isn't even in the movie except for very brief flashes. The whooole thing focuses on a group of people walking around trying to stay far enough away from the 'zombies' they see to not be grabbed. They actually 'kill' zombies by throwing empty milk bottles at them. Come on! And talk about horrible acting from that group. Terribly boring. A complete waste of film, the money and time to make the film, and the time it takes someone to watch it. One of, if not thee, worst movie(s) I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. Corey Feldman's Kalfu was the only decent thing in the movie and he was only in it for a total of maybe, maybe 2 minutes. Do yourself a favor, stay far away from this disaster.
The Zombie King is one of the worst films I have ever watched. There is no plot, no characterisation. Scenes seem to be presented in random order. There is a vast amount of clunky exposition to give the audience details of the scenes that were too expensive to shoot...which is everything that doesn't involve a handful of losers wandering about a field. Furlong appears for about 10 minutes..they play the scenes with his wife several times to make it seem like he's in the film longer. Failedman appears for 5 minutes with what appear to be cornflakes stuck on his face. The bald postman does a bad Clint Eastwood impression. The fat women thinks she is in the Benny Hill Show. The entire cast seem to be reading their lines off a card. Even among this staggering catalogue of incompetence Jon Campling as the alcoholic priest who knows all about voodoo and zombies stands out as a bad actor. He has no idea of how to convince as a drunk or a priest. Special mention must be made of the make-up for the zombies. There is none. The ending is the most shameless rip off of a George Romero film I've ever seen, made even worse by the obvious cheapness and lousy acting.
Not your usual zombie movie, concentrated mostly on the living rather than the dead, would of liked to see more of Feldman, very creepy character, more George 'night of the living dead' Romero zombies than Resident evil on the zombie makeup front. Loved the postman's character has some funny moments, great actor I don't know why I haven't seen him in work before now. Good to see Furlong back on my TV, huge crush on him back from pet sematary days!Expecting a part 2 from this as the ending wasn't finale Furlong marry me please!
I Have to say i was disappointed by the lack of gore in this film, as a zombie fan i enjoy watching a full blooded zombie vest... However i soon realized i wasn't watching the regular zombie flick i was used to. This film is very tongue and cheek and does not take its self too serious. (Shaun of the dead style) The comedy is great entertainment value it gave me a good few laughs. The actors were alright... I think there was some brilliant performance and others just okay... unlike other films this one actually had an actual a story. yes its got its flaws but I have no problem recommending this film if you like a giggle... some seriously funny lines.. well done to the writers.
