I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
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!HeatherOmen TheHorrorNation.net
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!
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
This is really great movie. It takes the zombie genre and puts a new and cool take on it. You can tell that the filmmakers were passionate about this movie. It catches you right from the beginning with its awesome theme song and continually draws you in more. It has some really cool zombie kills and two of the best I have ever seen. Not only does it have zombies it also has some cool bowling scenes in it. If you love movies like "Chillerama" you will definitely enjoy the hell out of this movie. If you love zombie movies this one you must see again and again. I instantly loved this movie and it was really cool seeing this movie at midnight with an audience of horror fans. Everybody in the audience had a blast watching this movie and you will too. Now go see it.
