Zombie purists may cry "Blasphemy!" at Rampant's 'night demons'... but I found the change-up an entertaining point of difference.October 30, 2018
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.February 26, 2019
What [Rampant] lacks in originality it makes up for with gruesome visuals and cold-blooded savagery.November 02, 2018
Also muddled: the sense of place, the sense of stakes, and the sense of zombie power and peril.February 22, 2019
An interesting twist on the zombie theme. It stars Hyun Bin and Jang Dong-gu in this ageless battle for survival.October 30, 2018
It takes a while, but once the zombies start attacking Rampant becomes a spectacular crowd-pleaser with epic sword fights and grand set pieces.October 29, 2018
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.October 30, 2018
Sure, Rampant had a predictable storyline, but director Kim Sung Hoon helped the film stay engaging with strong subplots and good character development.October 30, 2018
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...October 31, 2018
Tthe swashbuckling, bloodthirsty South Korean film "Rampant" is a rollicking genre mash-up that's what you might get if Hamlet were being chased by the undead for two hours.November 07, 2018
The problem here is that so much attention is spent on the period setting that the zombies often feel like an afterthought, when they really should have been crucial to the story.
