Popeye the Slayer Man

When I watch this kind of movies I don't expect an Oscar Winning film. Keeping my feet on the right place, I am able to enjoy slashers like this one.

First, if you love B-slashers this one is for you. I mean, it is what it is, a bunch of silly people getting ready to be slaughtered, as usual.

Second, I was scared about how bad the gory parts can be lol. But I was wrong. The Fx's are quite good keeping in mind the low budget. No CGI. To add, Popeye doesn't look too bad at all. Honestly I like it.

Last, I would like a second part.

The Sailor man takes Manhattan. As Jason in the old days. (Wink wink).

Anyway, as I said, if you love this kind of movies, no worries, it's a fun ride. I suggest to smoke some radioactive spinach, before the movie. It will help. Enjoy!

A group of youngsters break in to a spinach factory, desperate to figure out whether the fabled old Sailor exists.

It's definitely better than Popeye's Revenge, a bit more cohesive, and I'd argue that the acting, though far from perfect, isn't actually that bad.

Is it good, absolutely not, but if does fall into that category of so bad it's watchable, one of those movies that going could put on after a night out, have a pizza and a giggle over.

Popeye, all I keep thinking of is The Goonies, imagine if Sloth has been on the roids, had some cosmetic surgery, some Botox and developed a love of spinach instead of chocolate.

The death scenes are really poor, and at times you can see bits and bobs I'm sure you're not meant to.

Every cliché under the sun, the film starts exactly the same way as Pooh and Mickey, a woman running for her life in some sort of warehouse, if you're wanting originality, think again.

I eagerly await the new Snow White from these guys, but until then, Slayer Man provides some unexpected entertainment.

5/10.

B movies can be great fun! This is not that type of B movie. A few giggles that were certainly not intended aside (as it was because it was so stupid in parts), the script is bland. Acting is, again, what you expect from nobody in particular casting. Writing/Direction is nothing to write home about either. Not fun, bland, and derivative. I wanted so much to have fun with this, but I simply couldn't. No replay value. It is just a bad move. Glad to see practical effects, and they are fine. Nothing special about them, and the camera work helps hide the effects flaws for the most part. Static mask, but you don't see "Popeye" all that much (and it is always dark anyway).

So I went into this movie knowing it was obviously going to be bad. But how bad you ask? Well, pretty darned bad. The first thirty to forty five minutes are somewhat laughable and slightly on a so bad it's good scale, but then it just drags on. The cast is awful, the acting is horrendous. I will say that I thought that the Popeye mask and get up was somewhat interesting to look at as they keep him in the light most of the film. Lots of close ups, which I'm not sure how I feel about. It's interesting, but bad. The charm was lost halfway through and like so many "so bad it's good" movies it doesn't live up to the standards. The plot was interesting also, I'll give it that. But it truly goes nowhere. This film was made for what reason exactly? Who are the people this is made for? I'm left really pondering these questions. Can't recommed.

Some disasters you just have to see for yourself. And the only thing I could say about this movie is the acting isn't as bad as the acting in another film kind of like it. "The mouse trap". Now that was a terrible film. Oh my God that was so terrible. At least with this film, you get some inventive kills even if they do seem a little ridiculous. I.e. The real estate lady. Is it worth the watch? I'm still not even sure. I just know I'll never watch it again. Popeye comes across is just some ridiculous, bloated guy with a terrible mask for face. And then the voice is just wrong. Like all terrible bee movie films you wonder why certain victims instead of going to the door or running away from the docs go the opposite direction. Again with the realtor she was a few yards away from the door She came in yet She somehow was going the wrong way. And ended up running another wrong way when she saw Popeye. It's just dumb and when some characters come across a dead body, they don't even have a reaction. Like it's something they see every day. Laughingly two of them even kill themselves. Ala "Tucker and Dale". Which literally made me shake my head in embarrassment. I won't go into the plot because I'm not gonna spoil it as if that's possible. I'll just say I gave the movie two stars only because of the first few kills and the acting isn't too terrible. It's just not great.
