Watch The Zombie King

In The Zombie King from 2013, we're introduced to Samuel Peters, a man with a terminal illness trying to make peace with his inevitable death. When he's approached by the eccentric and charismatic Mz. Hyde, who offers a cure, Samuel jumps at the chance without questioning the cost. What he doesn't know at the time is that the cure comes with a price: he is turned into a zombie.

With his new found un-death, Samuel sets out to seek revenge on the people who had wronged him in life. However, he quickly discovers that he isn't the only new zombie on the block. The world has been overrun with the undead and the few remaining humans are fighting for survival, creating a dangerous and chaotic world. To make matters worse, Samuel's transformation has attracted the attention of a cult leader, the Zombie King, who believes Samuel to be the chosen one sent to lead the zombie race to a glorious new world order.

As Samuel grapples with his new existence, he begins to form bonds with other survivors including a young girl named Amy, played by young newcomer Jennifer Chippindale. Together, they set out to find a cure and bring an end to the zombie apocalypse. Along the way, they are joined by unlikely allies, including a vampire and a werewolf.

The film is a mixture of horror and comedy, with plenty of gore and violence, but also moments of humor and heart. Edward Furlong, best known for his role in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, gives a compelling performance as Samuel, showcasing his range as an actor. Corey Feldman, as always, brings his signature brand of over-the-top energy to the role of vampire hunter, while George McCluskey shines as the enigmatic and charismatic Zombie King.

The cinematography is gritty and atmospheric, creating a dark and foreboding world that feels both familiar and fantastical. The special effects are impressive, particularly the makeup and gore effects which are both gruesome and realistic. The soundtrack, featuring a mix of punk, rock, and metal music, adds to the film's edgy and rebellious vibe.

At its core, The Zombie King is a story about survival and redemption. It's a film about overcoming our past mistakes and finding hope in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Despite the bleakness of the world it creates, the film ultimately leaves the viewer with a sense of optimism and the belief that, even in the face of the apocalypse, there is always a chance for a brighter tomorrow.
