Corey Feldman and Edward Furlong in The Zombie King (2013)
Samuel Peters once an ordinary man, dabbles within the laws of voodoo to bring his wife back from the grave, he soon encounters the God of malevolence 'Kalfu', where he makes a pact with him to destroy the underworld and bring chaos to earth; in return he will become 'The Zombie King' and walk the earth for eternity with his departed wife. Seven days before the rise of the Dark Moon, Samuel Peters (The Zombie King) calls upon Kalfu to raise seven of the recently departed, where their souls must be held on earth for seven days. With the ever growing horde of zombies, they begin to completely wipe out a countryside town. Once the Government get wind of what is going on, they set a perimeter around the town area and employ a shoot on sight policy. Trapped within the town, the locals and unlikely bunch of misfits fight for their lives, and the remaining humans soon realise that they have to unite in order to survive. Seeking sanctuary in a local church, they discover a bizarre disturbed priest where he gives them the knowledge of 'The Zombie King'. Can our hero's unravel the clues in time and survive or will The Zombie King and his horde of zombies rise on the night of the dark moon?

    The worst movie I have ever seen

    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.

    Geesh, why make a sad knock-off of a 10 year old movie

    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,

    Munch away

    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

    Dross...with Cory Feldman.

    Once again, I am completely baffled by the rave reviews this film has received. Please don't make the same mistake I did and be drawn in by the eye-catching (and very misleading) cover art showing actors Ed Furlong and Cory Feldman.

    80 minute film with 'Zombies' in title features what must be all of 10 minutes screen time of zombies altogether. The rest is just mindless driving / running / and pointless, awkward dialogue.

    I'm a huge zombie movie fan - but I never thought I would despise a film so much as to go out of my way to urge people NOT to watch it. 'The Zombie King' proved me wrong. It is dreadful.

    The film focuses on a few different groups of idiots who are scattered around the British countryside - All groups appear to have absolutely no common sense.

    This first becomes apparent when the first group of 'survivors' encounter a zombie in a farmhouse they were supposed to be staying in. Rather than fight off one zombie in a relatively secure house, they run blindly into a dark forest where they encounter even more undead.

    We cut to a completely different group of survivors looking for supplies in an abandoned town. This and many more overlong scenes involving this group has absolutely no relevance to the rest of the film. Add a milkman add a postman. Dross.

    The Zombie Crap

    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.
