Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer (2012)

Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer is a film that gets better and better as it goes along, leaving you with that happy feeling 80 minutes later, that feeling of being rewarded for the time you spent watching it, that high you get from a movie that was much better than you expected going in.One thing that makes ATOM THE AMAZING ZOMBIE KILLER unique and far above other zombie gore flicks: The film is solidly scripted and totally original. Not merely a rambling schlock and gore fest, like so many in this genre, but truly a complex script with really believable characters and rewarding surprises and twists. Everything is set up properly, and then paid off. The great writing is what gives this film its dignity and lovable-ness. You know that the filmmakers respect the audience and aren't just trying to sloppily package 80 minutes of tits and blood. This is a real proper, solid comedy deserving of a $100 million dollar Hollywood remake any day now.As for the blood and gore that this film delights in: In the world Atom inhabits, the police are thankfully always 2 steps behind the killer, the victims never run fast enough, and body parts rip apart with oh so much ease...making for an excellent festival of gore, blood and death and ridiculous silliness. Each kill is done in a unique fashion, with its own humor. The writers of this film clearly thought long and hard how to make each death unique, ironic, and humorous - and memorable. You'll cringe and laugh and puke all at the same time....after the film, you and your friends can discuss your favorite moments, because as I said, each death in this film is its own work of art.My only negative criticism: The opening scene in the bowling alley is the one spot where I got worried and probably the only part of the film that might turn people off if they're not used to low budget independent films. So, have patience here, the best is yet to come! In this first - and only truly problematic - scene, which is at a bowling alley, there are oddly no extras. It seems too quiet, too much like it is being filmed after hours. And also in this same scene, the two rival bowling teams are almost never together in the same shot, clearly having been filmed separately on different days. But once you get past this snag, which is the result of a low budget and probably also the scheduling problems of the actors...from then on, you are in good shape: from here on, the movie build and builds, like the ascent of a roller coaster.By the 30 minute mark, the roller coaster peaks and then you're in for 50 minutes of loops and drops that will have you screaming! Expect lots of subtle gags too and background jokes and colorful props. It's not only a wild roller coaster, it's also got a bit of the old classic merry go round.I can't say more, because any further information might be a spoiler. So, as Troma's Lloyd Kaufman (who makes a cameo) would say: Let's watch!

Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer is hilarious!!! if you are the kind of horror fan that likes crude dick and fart jokes, then this is your movie. its very troma-esque and the laughs do not stop. Richard Taylor and his crew are very creative with the music, the animation, and of course the special effects and make up. the cast is brilliant as they share witty and clever dialogue. the story was unique and simple. its funny, the movie almost comes off as clean and wholesome, uh except for the bouncing titties, stereotypes of racial and sexual nature, and lets not forget gore, but hey thats what makes a kick ass film, am i right? i for one cannot wait to see this film distributed and shared at film fests. this is one of the best independent zombie comedies i have ever seen or ever will see. rock n' bowl!!!mike morrissey

This film is awesome! I saw it at its Las Vegas premier and had an absolute blast.At just about 80 minutes in length, "Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer" moves by at a brisk pace and never has a dull moment. The film is loaded with hilarious zombie humor and memorable kills.The script was superb, and many of the performances were excellent.The movie, in my opinion, is in the same vein as Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive" -- in terms of gore. However, Atom has so much more than that! The film also incorporates a bowling theme, which is maintained throughout the entire story and delivers one awesome payoff at the end! Fans of bowling movies would definitely get a kick out of Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer, even if they don't normally watch horror movies.Other incredible sequences of the movie featured police officers trying to solve the "crimes." Jazz Copeland was amazing as the chief of police.I was lucky to have the opportunity to meet the filmmakers after the show, and they were equally as awesome. I look forward to their future projects -- and also being able to watch Atom again.By the way, I can't get the theme song out of my head!!!!

I think it was the fall of '08 when BizJack/Flemco first announced the movie. I was excited! My favorite movie of theirs is Ghettoman... year after year the need to see this film kept getting stronger and stronger.. then i finally see it aaaaaaaand........... IT'S FRIGGIN' AMAZING!! It has everything you want in a film! I honestly can't think of anything that i didn't like about the movie.... i just wish i was a little bit longer.. like say an epic 3 hour flick! haha but then again... how could you not love every minute of this when you're a FanBoy of Richard Taylor & Zack Beins? I'd recommend this movie to just about anyone.. unless you have a weak stomach, of course.. there is A LOT of blood and guts.. and even POO! :D oh, and the soundtrack is also amazing.. lots of good bands and the movie score by Tim Johnson.. he does great work.. i'd recommend checking him out, too
