Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer (2012)

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

ATOM THE AMAZING ZOMBIE KILLER is a true return to those days when you picked up some fun/whacked out films at the video store just to see what it was.That's how a lot of us discovered Troma films. You either got into them and enjoyed their whacked out sensibilities or you thought they were too stupid too keep watching. Those of us that fall into the former camp can embrace this film as a Troma film we'd never heard of. Great intro w/faux "adjust your tracking set-up" that will probably have you ejecting the tape to see if it's damaged or fast forwarding to avoid the" bad spots". If anyone says they don't make them like that anymore (and, who besides Troma ever really did?),you can point them to this film and be assured that this will become a guilty pleasure they'll either be embarrassed to admit they've seen,or tell you not to recommend films to them anymore.Highly recommended to all Tromaddicts.

Movies like this are what Hollywood is missing right now. "Atom" is a perfect example of how great storytelling and creativity trump budget any day of the week. A unique story with lots of heart, Atom gives you a dynamic protagonist to root for, heartbreak, a douchey villain, all against the backdrop of a bowling alley. Drench in gratuitous blood and guts, add in some nudity, a decapitation here and there, and you've got a perfect storm. This indie horror comedy is not to miss, especially by fans of Troma films and the like. You won't regret a single one of the 80 gory minutes of cinematic gold that Bizjack/Flemco serves up. Lobby your local art-house theater for this film to be screened! Its a must see, and as my review title suggests, a bloody good time for all!

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

How would I describe Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer in one word? Well that word would be "awful" as in awfully amazing. Zombie movies are usually gruesome, violent, and generally over the top in multiple ways and Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer does not disappoint. The movies plot is not what you would expect from a typical zombie movie and that is one of the movies strongest selling points. It throws you a plot curve ball that I for one applaud do to the fact that some many Zombie movies just copy other plots and Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer stands above the heap for originality. The make up effects are spot on for a zombie movie and some are even more gruesome and unexpected than even your average zombie fan would expect. It is a horror comedy fans wet dream in a sense that you get all the violence you want and plenty of over the top comedic antics. The dialogue humor is both crude and clever using both pop culture references and unique script writing to tell jokes and throw out gross commentary about the characters and overall story. The cast is great and chemistry is felt all over as the characters show both an enormous sense of togetherness and an impressive amount of overwhelming hatred for each other. Even the brief appearances of local Radio DJ's from KBPI 106.7 bring a sense of local flavor for the movies small town setting. The editing of the movie was pretty straight forward and felt kind of linear at times but really work for the films progressive story. The visual effects, animation, and sound design were on par with that of some professional films and added to the overall look and feel of the movie. I for one am also happy as this movie was an Final Cut Pro edit and as a fellow FCP user I am glad to see the program being used to create unique and amazing films. I also want to point out the movies title song "Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer" by the Radioactive Chicken Heads is an incredibly addictive song that has almost a "Scotty doesn't know" kind of appeal. This movie is a triumph of independent film making and a great example of what can be done with a small budget and a large amount of creativity and talent.
