Enter...Zombie Kingby Sheena McNeilReviews may contain information that could be considered 'spoilers'. Readers should proceed at their own risk. Studio
Credits Grade: 4 Enter...Zombie King is about as campy as it gets. Take some corny, masked wrestlers, a hoard of zombies, and some freakie tattoo chicks, and you have a recipe for B-horror ... of a sort. Granted, some would say masked wrestlers are scary enough on their own, but when you have them wrestling zombies the campy fun is just beginning. I don't know if it's good or bad, but this film does actually have some kind of plot. Ulysses and his masked wrestler friends solve a zombie murder mystery and stop the Zombie King once and for all. There's history between the characters (good and bad) and mystery with a need for vengence. However, the whole concept is side-splittingly funny!The acting, especially by the women, is corny, and the gore, while bloody, is second rate. There is female nudity and of course, what B-horror movie such as this would be complete without a lesbian couple — zombies or no zombies. I love horror movies, but zombies are the least interesting and the least scary to me. I've seen Romero's work and yawned, and as far as the zombies go, this is close. If you love getting a laugh out of campy B-horror, Enter...Zombie King will have you alternately laughing and rolling your eyes, perhaps even groaning. Let's just hope there's no multi-sequal plans in the works! Written: June 27, 2005
