Beast Mode

I found this movie very entertaining. Very tongue in cheek. So many movies out there just really suck. However this one was better than most.

It's rare that I see a movie that can make me laugh and creep me out at the same time. Although I enjoy any movie that Douglas Bennett plays in.

Yep, this is light & weak parody movie. You will nothing gain (or loose) watching (or not) this.

Well, "Beast Mode" wasn't exactly the most memorable of movies that made it out of 2020. When I sat down to watch "Beast Mode" from directors Chris W. Freeman and Spain Willingham I hadn't even heard about the movie. But the movie's poster/cover was interesting and caught my attention, and the fact that the movie was labeled as a horror comedy definitely won points with me.

But the movie wasn't really a bag of potato chips and then some. Sure, it was watchable, but it was hardly an outstanding addition to the horror comedy genre, and there are far better movies readily available in this genre. But yes, it was watchable, albeit a less than mediocre overall movie experience.

It was primarily the storyline that didn't really tickle me in all the right places. The storyline just felt too simplistic and at no point throughout the course of the movie did I feel like the writers delved into a well of aces. The things portrayed in the storyline were just too bland, I'm afraid.

The acting in "Beast Mode" was adequate, and lead actors C. Thomas Howell and James Duval definitely carried the movie well enough, when taking into consideration the limitations imposed upon them by the simplistic script and storyline. It was fun, though, to see familiar faces such as James Hong, Ray Wise and Robert Costanzo make appearances in the movie.

All in all, "Beast Mode" came and went without much of a stir. And this is hardly a movie that has enough contents to it to support more than a single viewing. My rating of "Beast Mode" settles on a four out of ten stars.

HEY EVERBODY ITS ME, (4) and today we review ..... what happens when i get in the gym ....the movie !!!!!!!!!!

Wow what a surprise ......great little film here ... a horror comedy creature feature that delivers a solid amount of both comedy and horror elements in even amounts .... few films pull that off well but this happens to be one that does a decent job of that ...... so GOOD JOB ....

the usual garbage is solid, lighting, FX, all that technical mumbo jumbo is good ... the acting is good ......i enjoyed seeing a well balanced cast of people i knew .... frank the bunny is in here .... johnny knoxville .... lo pan ....the dad from jeepers creepers 2 .... and even the chick from police academy .....i mean this film had everyone in it .........

the story line was a good break away from the usual formula of kids + cabin = dead plot ... so here we have film producers + hollywood people + magict cream = dead lol.... but indeed a good break away from the usual story , it delves into the concept of how humans are monsters and how fame and fortune brings out the worst in everyone LITERALLY !!!!!!! ....

they did a good job with character development without really slowing down the pacing, introducing plot points like the dudes wife ....and her character half way in BUT her tiny moment of introduction was enough to know instantly how it was with those 2 and from there ...YUP ... LOL "and imma order beans" ....jesus christ .....okay ... this movie .... was funny ..... it wasnt non stop side splitting comedy BUT it wasnt meant to be ...it funny parts were well timed and well placed, its a hybrid of horror ....and it had its REALLY good moments of blood and guts as well .... the FX were really well done ... the monsters looked really good ...

like great horror comedies in the vein of "Shuan of the dead" this one is again, well balanced 100% worth the watch and 100% worth the score ....

9.5/10.
