King of the Zombies

"If there's one thing I wouldn't wanna be twice, zombies is both of them!"

Zombies, Nazi's, Moreland and more zombies. Decent effort from all. Drags a little here and there but not too much. That Marguerite Whitten is one delectable li'l number in that maid outfit; it's not just zombies who like dark meat! Yummy.

Black comedian Moreland carries the day in this otherwise wooden back-lot chiller. The pic's offhanded but relentless racism (which extends to Irishman Purcell as well) is truly appalling, though Mantan manages to transcend. Like many B movies of its era, this one is more interesting as sociology than as horror.

A fun little movie, Moreland is a delight from start to finish.

Remarkably racist, but it manages to come off endearingly, thanks to Mantan Moreland. It's a better comedy than it is a horror movie, thanks again to Mantan Moreland. Really, without him this would be an awful, awful movie.

A fairly substandard and forgettable voodoo zombie flick. The only reason to watch this was for the scenes with Mantan Moreland as a zombie.

Fairly fun horror-comedy. The ending makes precious little sense at all, but...anyway, Moreland steals the show (and probably a few towels as well) in his role, especially in the exchanges with sassy Marguerite Whitten. All of which just goes to demonstrate that, though honkies may have been on top of the food chain back then, there's no disguising the fact that they're generally boring as hell. The only intrigue with the rest is trying to figure out what Woodbury's accent is supposed to be.

Mantan Moreland makes this film. He is hilarious in this. At the end, it makes pretty much no sense. It's pretty racist I suppose but it was 1941 (not trying to justify it, just an observation)

Early on this one really scoots and has some character but soon devolves into the usual old-dark-house crap.

Mantan Moreland makes this infinitely more enjoyable and rewatchable than it would be otherwise. Funny one-liners with genius delivery put life into an otherwise run of the mill horror film.

Pure zombie slave hokum! You got to sit back appreciate that screwy pictures like this was produced. Mantan Moreland - the greatest zombie EVER!!!
