Evil Bong

I read a review of beerfest where evil bong was mentioned and thought that sounds like the sort of movie I like to torture my hon with and looked it up, yes it sounded perfect. A couple of days later we sat down to watch it and it was just like it sounded, but in saying that I have to also say I was more amused and entertained by it than the last half dozen movies I've seen. The basic premise is into a flat\dorm full of adolescent male stoner\muscle man\surfer types a nerd is introduced, hijinks ensue, the difference is an evil bong that tries to kill the foursome by sucking their souls after a session. The acting was so so and the special effects what ones there were weren't that impressive but it was really funny in places and tommy chongs cameo at the end was worth the wait. So if you have a couple hours to kill and have had a big toke and want to lay back and veg watch this.

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.

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

This movie is pretty much self explanatory, just like "Snakes On A Plane" This movie is these people who get a bong, that is nothing but pure evil, and it sucks in the people, into a "trip" where they are at a strip club, and things go their way, until they get like "killed" The movie idea, is pretty dumb, and the story is pretty lame, but the actors and the actions make it better... I'm not saying the acting is all that good, but its a movie that entertains any person who is a teenager and/or druggie. I never watched this while I was on anything, nor do I plan too, but I bet it is way more entertaining if you are. Definitely a recommendation movie for those who love to smoke pot.

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.
