Rampant

This is an amazing and excellent actor.. pls include more movies and series with Korean Actor Hyun Bin

I like a good horror and these zombies were different from western zombies in that the teeth turned sharp and the people believed them to be demon possessed, which given the era made more sense. Other reviewers claimed there were no subtitles but I turned on the English subtitles and they popped up so I'm guessing the others just didn't know how to turn on the subtitles. Another reviewer also claimed it was special effect heavy but I didn't see any other than when they lit some gunpowder or when the zombies came down off buildings as they glided rather than fell heavily upon their victims. I really enjoyed the historical Korean customs and costumes that were presented and felt the acting was really well done and credible despite this being a zombie show set in a historical setting.

OK, I'm not sure how "historical" this is, except in being set in Korea at what appears to be several centuries ago. Back when the arquebus was novelty, so not so far back as to predate firearms.However, the weapon of choice is a sword, and you will see a lot of swords being put to good use.The plot is that the second son, when his brother (the crown prince) dies, returns home to comply with his brother's request to take his wife and unborn child back with him into exile to keep them safe.You have the father, a king who no longer cares about his people (if he ever did). You have treacherous (if not traitorous) senior nobles who try to eliminate our Hero. Lots of conflict.And you have zombies. The country turns out to be in the midst of a Zombie Epidemic. These are the rather more aggressive zombies most modern zombie films use, rather that Romero's original rather laid-back model. They are in very large quantities, at one point occupying the Palace and so halting the working of the government.They can also be handled with swords, so you see even more swordplay than you might expect.If this sounds at /all/ attractive to you, I suggest you watch it. It's well done and, if it is what you want to see, it should not disappoint.It might tire you out, though -- it's a bit grueling in the long run. But, hey, how often do you get to see swordsmen vs zombies?

Worth the watch.

Korea loves zombie movies. There was the series "Kingdom" and the great "Train From Busan". While this movie is not a great as those two, it is still an entertaining film.The story is based on how some Dutch sailors wander into Korea with a rabid crew member. A Korean autocrat decides to steal the firearms from the Dutch but one of the Korean soldiers get bitten by the rabid sailor. The sailor returns home and quickly infects the town. A Korean prince is tasked with the duty of stopping the autocrat from taking over the kingdom as well as stopping the epidemic of zombies spreading in the country.

Kept me focused

Great movie.

The combination of a Korean historical drama with zombie action horror made a entertaining evening watch. Unlike the political correctness pushed by most contemporary films, there was none here to distract from the hack and slash fun. The story was very straightforward and to the point with the unwilling unprincely protagonist, treacherous political baddy, the great zombie disaster, and the mission to save the kingdom. No half-hearted romance, no preachy message, and little time wasted on how the infection came about. The quality of the historical set design and costuming is far above what you would expect from a typical zombie film. The blending of the characteristics of the lurching undead, the liveliness of the 28 days later infected, and strength and weakness of the vampiric made these zombies reasonably unique from the ones in other films. A 5 star rating as a zombie action flick category, and a 4 star rating overall in comparison to other paid horror genre films on Amazon.

I'm a big fan of the creators behind Train to Busan (a movie I've yet to grow tired of), so when I saw that Rampant was made by them - I jumped at the opportunity to purchase this film.The concept seemed full proof, and by no means was or is this a bad movie, but it wasn't, isn't great either.I saw Kingdom first. The story is paced out amongst its episodes acting as a slow burn. Creating tension and establishing the characters, ending on - what you'd expect of a cliffhanger (for a season 2). It's clear that Kingdom has a focus on its characters and builds on that, forming the necessary tension for what's coming (comparable to Game of Thrones).Rampant, by name alone, I expected to be more fast paced, more zombie versus sword, just more, crazy, as it's a movie and not a show (the trailer for instance gives that vibe). It isn't that. While the movie is filled with zombies, they're more of a back drop to the political turmoil. (These two concepts will merge, creating an enjoyable final act with an ending that's, eh, ok).Rampant sort of loses its magic with how much it tries to cram in in the middle between its opening and final act. If you blink or look away, you may very well miss out on a scene, not that the scene itself is important. Characters themselves don't connect as they hold little time to expand on who they are. While certain scenes in the final arc do, hit home to a degree, you aren't really all that upset because up until that point you're wondering when things are going to get - Rampant.The later half of the film is enjoyable as things do pick up, with some good scenes paced in the middle of the movie, and for some it's enough and they'll be very happy, others such as myself will just compare this to other movies (Train to Busan) or shows (Kingdom) and see that this film doesn't do anything great.In summary: Train to Busan is better with regards to character development, stakes and emotional tension - and the zombies are more in your face. Rampant, while enjoyable (it isn't a bad movie), fails to capitalize on the name itself and just embrace sheer sword to zombie action. It's also hurt by the release of Kingdom that shares two strong core concepts, the zombies themselves, and the political turmoil, and in my opinion, does better by having the time to expand on these.Rampant isn't bad, it's just okay. Good enough for $16 CAD.

on a regretté d'avoir payé pour ce film. Le personnage secondaire tombe sur les nerfs, et c'est même pas épeurant une seule seconde.L'histoire est plate et il n'y a pas d'amour non plus.

After all modern day zombie movies this was realy like a fresh air in this genre. Huge horde of zombies vs sword fighters... looks amazing.It says in cover that the discs are locked to area codes A and 1. But both discs (bluray & dvd) are REGION FREE !! Hopefully this would be the future of fysical media... no area codes, availeble to everyone buy/watch =)

Fan de Hyun Bin enchantée d'avoir trouvé ce film !!!!

Un bon film qui ressemble énormément à la série Kingdom.
