Watched this one a month or so ago for a project involving voodoo zombies. Have to admit, they should have just stuck with "zombies on the Western Front"
Thoroughly reasonable reaction to a breakup in a grade Z movie: _Four Sided Triangle_ (1953). When his best gal runs off with his best pal, a mad scientist uses his duplicator machine to make a copy of the gal.
That actually makes sense. One hopes to regain what you lost by duplicating it. And it opens up for a lot of moral questions. Such as if a duplicate has no soul or mind of it's own, is it slavery to have them do your bidding, or are they just biological robots?
And, just for giggles, the duplicate has the same romantic feelings towards the other guy as the original did! Which, when you think about it, only makes sense.
I actually quite enjoyed this film for its creative setting and its refusal to follow formula. Watching the Zombie King fall for the same backstabbing girl twice was intensely frustrating, though.
It does seem that in horror films, you have to watch out for the guy who "honorably" accepts a woman's dismissal because he eventually seems to plan a terrifying revenge. Bela Lugosi came up with an especially good revenge plot against Irene Ware in "The Raven" (1935). It's hard to top a zombie army though.
Lugosi gives such a deliciously manic performance in The Raven. Plus, he has some killer dialogue like "I tear torture out of myself by torturing you."
Best thing about Revolt of the Zombies? We know what Dean Jagger looked like with a full head of hair! And Jagger, to his credit, did move on to better things, winning an Oscar for Twelve O'Clock High (1949) and portraying the alcoholic sheriff in Bad Day at Black Rock (1955.)
I don't think I've ever seen Dean Jagger so young. Best bad reaction to a breakup in a B-movie? Son of Dracula. Woman turns down our ostensible hero for Alucard, he pulls a gun, shoots Dracula, and the bullets go through Dracula and kill her. That was the part of the movie that really stuck with me as a kid.
It's truly amazing that they took such a wonderful premise as Cambodian zombies from World War I and made it so boring. Right up there with Werewolves on Wheels
DCR's Bad Movies reviews have always been a solid B+/A- video series, but man, if Robin constantly reviewed them in front of rear projection like at 3:30, these would be A++ *all the time, every time,* lol. I laughed so hard at that! (^-^)
I suspect that, had Lugosi accepted the role in this, it would have turned out as a somewhat better film. And I'm a bit puzzled as to why he turned them down - about this time, he was experiencing quite a professional dry spell, and after turning down FRANKENSTEIN, rarely ever said "No" again...
I thought there were some interesting ideas in this one and the early sequence with the zombie soldiers is quite striking. But it also drags a lot and Dean Jagger is no Lugosi!!
First, why did all the British and French characters all sound American? You think someone would have caught that during filming. The Ultimate revenge for a bad break up has to go to JUSTICE LEAGUE : DOOM. Carol Ferris becomes a super villain called Star Sapphire so she can get back at her ex-boyfriend Hal Jordan ( Green Lantern) by killing off half the people on Earth with The Legion Of Doom and becoming a war lord controlling what remained of humanity. Most woman would have just settled for keying their ex's car.
Overreaction to a bad breakup... here's a weird spot for one, the 80s cartoon The Real Ghostbusters: Guy gets dumped, decides to end the world through ancient secret music, demonic possession and contracting weird bug eyes. Also, the end of the world involved a giant demonic face in the sky for some reason. Episode title? "Ragnarock and Roll". Great show, great series. You know, for kids because they can really relate to everything that happens here.
The 2016 one did basically the same thing, the villain was rejected by women so decided to destroy the world. But I think it's better to pretend that film never existed.
He was particularly good playing the (token) American scientist in X--THE UNKNOWN, which is one of the truly classic British Sf/horror movies of the Fifties. Unlike much of the schlock turned out by U.S. studios the Brits really knew how to make 'em good back then.
Hi there Mister Dark Corners guy with no name, I really enjoy your show. I had no idea there were so many awful horror movies or even how many good ones I have not seen yet. Haxan is a 1922 Swedish film about witches and witch hunters in Europe in the middle ages. It is shot like a docudrama with wood cuttings and the creepiest soundtrack I have ever heard. Like Nosferatu it feels very real. The scariest and creepiest and the saddest horror movie of all time. C.H.U.D. stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers and is the complete opposite. a bad movie worthy of a bad review from you. Chud came out in 84, 85, right when many crappy movies were being made. Also The Sentinel was made around that time. Kind of a Rosemarys Baby but as you would say utter crap. Have a great day and keep aiming for the stars.
Another one I haven't seen. Seems a fun movie. The vengeful ex-zombies seem rather reserved, pump a couple of rounds in him and be done with it. "Revolt of the Zombies" seems to be high on the list of gilted lover over reaction. Thanks for posting.
ok, decided to watch this on archive; I wouldn't say it's bad....just amazingly boring for a movie that's barely over an hour. Update: having watched it a few more times (I have no life) it really has merits if you ignore the draggy parts. Cutting out that rear projection scene and it would be pretty good. BTW, if I had to choose between the 2 of the male leads, I'd take the zombie king every time. Yes, he's slightly unstable and obsessive, but I could give him support and tell him to just be happy with the zombie army and stop chasing two-timing little wisps.
wasn't this the plot to "Lollipop Chainsaw"? guy gets turned down by pretty girl so he raises a zombie army? (except in that case she didn't manipulate him or anything, she was just oblivious to his feelings)
Maybe it would make a good series to have this woman going from one adventure with men to another causing them to operate in outlandish ways resulting in horrifying results. In our next installment she plays Hitler and Churchill against each other and lets see what happens. Too bad the zombie thing didn't work out. Trying to get reliable help is so hard.
How revolting!!!!! But seriously, what kind of zombies are these? The reason traditional zombies can not be killed, is because they are already dead. Maybe some of the zombies in this movie were reanimated corpses, but most were not. Hense one would think they were just mortal people that were hypnotized. Rather like the real zombies, which it is though are not dead, just sent into a coma by a witch doctor, and after they are reviewed they are controlled by feeding them powerful drugs.

I haven't seen that one, but I did read somewhere that it's low budget but quite interesting.

well, it's not that he fell for her again it's he never stopped loving her, he wanted her back and took her.
"Let's just admire this fine actor interacting with his back projected environment" - cue next scene: Robin walking on a river. Classic! Lmao 😆👍🙏

Later on when he went bald he really LOOKED LIKE a movie villain. It was a combination of that and the eyes.

Or a total snoozer like the dullsville ZOMBIES OF MORA TAU.

3:32 - 3:38 lol.
Love it! You should really do gags like that more often.
I always have really loved the early zombie movies I really wish that they could go back to these type of zombie movies

Always like these videos before watching because this channel is the bomb.
Worst breakup overreactions in fiction:
Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights
Snape in Harry potter
There was no Franco-Austrian frontier in WWI, which people in 1936 should have still remembered, but...

There must have been a perception filter around the basement.

Bet that they didn't pay him royalties.
And happen to give the best performance in the film.

Interesting to see the lead, Armand, was an early role for a fine actor--Dean Jagger.

it's not terrible really. it's slow in spots, but it doesn't affect the plot if you look away from the screen during the rear projection stuff.
I’m off to headbang to some White Zombie.

what's the difference with be
zombified and be hypnotized in this movie?

Can't wait until the Evil Explorer boutique has its post-pandemic grand reopening!
This is essentially like a precursor to *Death Note.*
I kinda enjoy the incredibly petty motives of the bad guy here. And how everyone in this film is an evil bellend.
Dude, she was totally not worth creating a zombie army over. Next time, just move on. BTW: Hilarious review. :)
agreed. He shoulda stuck with the zombie army. He was a lovesick fox given the keys to the henhouse.
Need to see this!
There wasn't a Franco-Austrian frontier during WW1 so I'm stumped from the start.
"THE ZOMBIES ARE REVOLTING!"
"Aye! They are a rather smelly lot, aren't they". (Sorry, but I couldn't resist.)
Well...that's a tad of a dramatic reaction to a breakup.

I watched this review twice to check out Dean Jagger.
So the Halperin brothers strike again!
In the '80s, Kim Carnes sang "Bette Davis Eyes;" who could sing "Bella Lugosi Eyes"?
This movie is gooooooooood.
The zombies are revolting...
But... you I like.😉
Well thank you ever ever so much, m'dear. As it just so happens I'm wearing this exciting new men's cologne. It's called "Fondle Me".
Love the tee shirt.
Review Ebirah, horror of the deep please!
I wish they would do a remake, line for line!
Why?
would you settle for a novellization? I might be persuaded to write one.
Maybe we should call this "Not-So-White Zombie"?
Clearly
I miss Michaela. What was she up to?
Got this as part of a 50 movies on 12 DVDs set. Not nearly as fun as "King of the Zombies"...
Yikes. Messiest breakup since Anakin/Padme.
