Evil Bong

Brought to you by Full Moon legend Charles Band the company takes on another character and have gone from killer puppets, a psychotic gingerbread man and decapitated shrunken heads to *Drumroll* an evil bong.

So a nerdy guy moves into a house with 3 stoners, when one orders a new bong that turns out to be possessed. If you take a hit she drags you into her world (Which is oddly a strip joint) and you'll never wake up.

Now nobody can say I don't watch some really weird films and Evil Bong is really up there. What a concept!

Clearly Full Moon had high hopes for this franchise as they really pulled the stops out, bringing in actors and prop characters from many of their other franchises such as the Gingerdeadman, Demonic Toys & Trancers. Somehow they even got horror icon Bill Moseley to do a cameo. Clearly it worked as the Evil Bong franchise is ongoing and presently stands at a whopping seven movies!

But is it any good? Well, no not really. Evil Bong is stupid in that it knows its stupid kind of way, sadly it's simply not funny enough to pull it off. Even stoner icon (Thats a thing right?) Tommy Chong can't turn things around and though the film isn't bad it's just not even remotely good either. Ironically this is the kind of movie I'd imagine would be better appreciated under certain "Influences".

If you go into a movie about a killer bong with high expectations, you deserve to be disappointed!

The Good:

Loads of Full Moon movie characters/references

Certainly original

The Bad:

Lots of licensed music, trouble is it's terrible

The structure of the film is awful, seriously a mess

I mean like how can you not love this movie. It's literally about a bong killing people, like who came up with this stuff lmaoo i love it. You have to come into this movie with an open mind because damn the acting sucks but it's sucks in away that it's funny and it's super easy to laugh at.

The movie knows what it is and that's seriously important because it's not trying to be a serious movie about a bong killing people. It's a comedy and it did a good job at making me laugh a couple times. I can't go any higher then a 7/10 but seriously i think it's worth a watch if you want to see something completely ridiculous that really is just meant for pure fun.

I left my wife because she didn't want to watch this movie. Truly a blessing.

Much like Gingerdead man, which I reviewed previously, one thing you CAN'T say about Evil Bong is that it uses false advertising. You get exactly what's offered to you in the title and advertising material.

That, however, doesn't necessarily make it good.

Granted, nobody watching a movie called Evil Bong goes into it expecting to see a cinematic masterpiece by any means. To be completely honest, I wasn't sure what to expect going into this movie.

It wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't terrible. It tried to be funny in a lot of places where it just isn't, and it tried to have some slightly serious moments that came off as comedic because of the absurdity of it all. It was good enough to keep me watching until the end but, if I wasn't a completist, I'd have no desire to watch behind this first entry.

Give it a watch to satisfy your strange curiosities but don't expect much.

I've seen these movies float around for years, but never had the chance to watch until recently. The setup and opening of the movie looks kind of like a porno or sketch comedy skit or both, and it just made everything better.

The bong and all the special effects are a product of their time, but still added to the whole mess. Nothing about this movie struck me as serious, not that I think it was meant to. All in all, it was actually a lot better than I had been led to believe all these years!

If you need a background movie, Evil Bong will do just fine. Same for movie nights sans family, or any smoke sesh that needs some entertainment.
