Psycho Goreman (2020) ***1/2
From former Astron-6 member Steven Kostanski comes Psycho Goreman (2020), an over-the-top bloodfest with incredible low budget creature f/x that mashes up Hellraiser (1987) (review) with The Last Starfighter (1984) (review). I wasn't quite as taken with the comedy or characters in PG as I was in other Astron-6 related films like Father's Day (2011) or The Editor (2014) (review), but the film definitely strikes a similar, very specific brand of callous humor that sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Still, there is a good deal of fun to be had here, the score and songs are great, and really the whole thing is mostly a showcase for the deliriously inventive and eye-popping makeup and costumes.
