He Never Died (2015)
6/10
Low budget graphic novel style movie that is actually quite engaging
3 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Watching this movie was like watching a low budget straight to DVD and Netflix movie that is actually quite fun. What made this movie work for the most part is how it graphs the graphic novel style elements quite well. Well at least with the budget it had, although the action scenes is actually quite sloppy and has been done better in cheap youtube videos. The story and comedic direction was pretty well done, despite the editing being somewhat poor at times. This would have even made a fairly decent TV show if they wanted to extend the story. But I guess, it's better they compacted most of it into a single movie while leaving certain things unanswered. Yeah, certain things aren't really explained and leaves it up for the audiences imagination. This can be a hit or a miss for certain movies, but it didn't take away or add anything to this one by leaving certain things a mystery. The less you know about this movie the better, because the mystery about what exactly is going on is what kept me focused most of the way through. Henry Rollins put on quite a decent performance as a jaded, lonesome guy that keeps a lot to him self and is very awkward in social settings. And learning about why he is the way he is, is what keeps things interesting. Overall, I enjoyed this simple low budget flick.
