Rampant

"The creators of the excellent Train to Busan are back, but with a different writer and director, for another zombie flick that provides a refreshingly different setting. Swapping a modern transit line for a historical swords-n-thrones kingdom, Rampant gives itself a good excuse to chop off many undead heads. It certainly delivers that much, but its attempt to also be a dynasty drama comes off feeling undercooked and overcomplicated."

"Sure, Rampant had a predictable storyline, but director Kim Sung Hoon helped the film stay engaging with strong subplots and good character development."

"While slick and polished, Rampant feels reluctant to commit fully to the intriguing originality of its premise. It excels neither as a zombie film, nor a throne-room drama."

"Rampant is a little all over the map, with its biggest flaw securely rooted in its inability to maintain consistency in its own mythology - an unforgivable genre crime."

"For fans of the undead genre and the frenzied spilling of arcing jets of claret, this is an entertaining ride through a juxtaposition of genre tropes..."
