Zombie Hamlet (2012)

Zombie Hamlet: Directed by John Murlowski. With Travis Wester, John Amos, A.J. Buckley, K.C. Clyde. An ambitious filmmaker plots a re-imagining of Hamlet set during the American Civil War, but when he loses his large budget he has to accept much less money–which means making major script changes.

“Iu0026#39;ve been thinking about the movie Zombie Hamlet for the last few days since Iu0026#39;ve seen it, trying to figure out why I liked it as much as I did.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think there are two general reasons.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e1. June Lockhart. No, not her grand-daughter, the June Lockhart. The one from the 60u0026#39;s. She must be 90. Iu0026#39;m old enough to remember her from u0026quot;Lost In Spaceu0026quot; and u0026quot;Lassieu0026quot; but she was absolutely wonderful in Zombie Hamlet. To me she stole the show. I also liked John Amos, famous for the movie u0026quot;The Beastmasteru0026quot; and as JJ Walkeru0026#39;s dad in u0026quot;Good Timesu0026quot; way back then. Geeze, how old must he be? Anyway, him questioning June Lockhart about her u0026quot;ample bosomu0026quot; just made me laugh. It was funny, but also downright sweet.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYouu0026#39;ll hear people say that anyone can be an actor, but watching these two in this movie really spoke well for the acting profession. Gotta find out who the director was too. He/she probably deserves credit for creating a situation where these two professionals were able to shine.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e2. It was a fun movie for adults that you can take your kids to. I donu0026#39;t remember lots of cursing or potty humor or gross stuff that comes with so many movies today, I guess to cater to teenagers. This really was a movie that Iu0026#39;d take my kids to.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI hope this movie gets a decent release. Itu0026#39;s worthy of one because sometimes itu0026#39;s hard for a dad to find a decent movie to take the kids to on a family night that he can stand and the kids still enjoy. You wonu0026#39;t have to cringe at the drug references, teen sex innuendos, and bathroom jokes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI recommend it.”
