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!

Especially if your kids are into hilarious, adult-themed, over-the-top, gross out humor. This movie has plenty of that, so pack your kids in your purse and take 'em to the next showing you can find.The hero, or villain depending on how you look at it, let's call him the protagonist, would, indeed, be an amazing zombie killer were there any zombies to kill. He is, in fact, just an amazing killer, for now. However, the fact that there are no zombies in the movie just adds to the comedy and charm of the film. Also, the blood and dismemberment effects are fantastic. Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer could easily become a Troma classic. The B-movie has come a long way since, Blood Feast (Herschell Gordon Lewis, 1963).Definitely see it if you get the chance.

All around excellent film! Action, laughs, twists, what else can you ask for? Better than Con Air. I went to the 2nd screening at Starfest 2012 and once again at an actual movie theater for another screening. It gets better every time I watch it. The laughs are hilarious and the gore and effects are awesome. An original "Zombie" movie in a long time that's worth watching. Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer is an exciting roller coaster ride from beginning to end and has the tradition of retro horror and independent modernism that can be viewed by MATURE audiences only and loved by the masses. This film is Cult Classic in the making and should be watched by everyone.
