Popeye’s Revenge is about a group of teens with a clothing allergy being menaced by a large man in a sailor suit, sporting even larger forearms, as I’m sure you can imagine.
What I’m sure you didn’t imagine is that he was a deformed child whose parent’s inexplicably sent him to school wearing said sailor suit in what would have approximately been the year 2010.
You also might not have though he would haunt dreams after being severely burned a-la Freddy Kruger, as well as drowning in a lake and coming back absolutely massive a-la Jason Voorhees, only with a tattoo, a pipe habit, the ability to control fog, and surprisingly it all has absolutely nothing to do with spinach.
This film is a conceptual nightmare, but with these freshly public domain characters being twisted into low budget horror film villains, it’s to be expected.
However, this one doesn’t seem to pull off the straight-faced severity the Blood and Honey movies managed to. It also falls flat in the creativity department, the majority of the kills being various forms of strangulation or crushing, lacking variety.
If you absolutely LOVE these public domain characters portrayed as monsters in the likes of blood and honey and the mean one, then you MIGHT get a kick out of this one, but I think basically any viewer will be happier to wait until it is streaming for free with ads, or on something you already happen to pay for.
