Rating:  - "Zombies are just dead people who are too lazy to lie down!"
I wasn't quite sure what to make of this movie by the title and actor list. Don't let the title fool you into thinking this is a movie along the lines of Night of the Living Dead, it isn't. This is really a light-hearted, comedy-mystery-thriller, along the lines of The Ghost Breakers, or as mentioned by another reviewer Spooks Run Wild, which happens to also have been produced by the same studio, Monogram.
King of the Zombies is a true "B" movie with a great supporting cast. Mantan ... Read More
Rating: - Amusing 1941 undead horror comedy
Made just as the US entered the second world war, this goofy zombie horror comedy is breezy fun throughout its 67 minute running time. Some US agents and their servant crash their plane on a creepy, remote island. They find a shadow mansion populated by a staid German doctor, his staff, and his wife, who is said to be afflicted with an illness leaving her in a trance-like state. First the servants give hints that voodoo practices have resulted in many zombies on the island, and it isn't long before ... Read More
Rating: - Hilarious zombie film
The King of Zombies - This movie is really funny. I don't know if it was intended to be funny, but the movie is hilarious. Mantan Moreland, the man playing the African American valet or male servant, is so funny. The movie is a great laugh and I highly reccommend it. Gotta love the quotes in this movie! In one scene Moreland, thinking he is a zombie, tells the other zombies "Move over boys, I'm one of the gang now". He then proceeds to lead the "Zombie Squad" to the kitchen. Good and funny.
Rating:  - Poor Quality Transfer to DVD Format
King Of The Zombies is a great campy/funny B&W film, and Mantan Moreland steals the show. Unfortunately this transfer of the film print to DVD is the worst that I have ever seen, and Im not referring to the scratches, dust or spots on the print that was used, this actually adds to the vintage feel of the film. The problem with this DVD is that the frame of view has been cropped in on all sides so any scene where the actors head is close to or at the edge of the original frame gets there head cut ...

Rating: - Where Do These Titles Come From?
This movie appears to be an attempt to capitalize on every possible contemporary issue and popular subject of the late 1930's and early 1940's. There are spies, Nazis, zombies and an African American comedian thrown in for good measure. I would say the director threw in everything but the kitchen sink, but there was one of those too. The primary plot is generally dull and lifeless, but the comedy in this movie is classic.
Our story begins with three people in an airplane lost over the ocean. ... Read More
