Entertaining Run-of-the-mill Slasher

Popeyes Revenge was a decently charming flick, that had some history, tension building and creative scares. The predecessor was more of the same, however his history, design and creepiness is much improved here, instead of being a moronic killing-machine, atleast here he's scary and doesn't easily get-out-of-breath. The slowness makes him more creepy here, and his slow grovelled voice makes him even more eerie and scary as you don't know what to expect next.The low-budget film isn't a total ROTTEN APPLE, although the deaths are. There's a mixture of positives and negatives. Let's start with it's history. The focus of the pictures made it more heart-felt, and the connection felt better suited here, as it explained briefly, and shown it more so that's why it stood out, as the family dynamic was heavily hinted throughout the story even with the re-occuring characters. So it definitely felt slightly more natural and grounded in that respect. Although, I'd of liked to of seen the history progress further, as it does feel slightly rushed as it is mostly at the middle or the end, I feel as if the commentary on the last film gave it the edge in terms of overall character story and journey, this felt better at explaining his evil-side and family dilemma.The editing is perfectly swift and crisp, with no over-reliance on CGI, most of the film is practical effects, and that makes it feel more natural, and that's why I think this is more scarier then the other tale. I feel as I'd they used the building and the darker effects well, as the creepiness and the tension was built up by his equipment, the movement, and the dark atmosphere did give it that air of unpredictability and sofisticated twists and turns that were unpredictable for humans and movie-goers alike. I feel like the film could've also used the lighter-effect, as that was also very well executed I must say.The characters weren't bad, they were standard teenagers that made insanely bad decisions you may of hit them with a TV Remote. However the build up to the premise is quick, which sort of works, but not so much for development and expandability for the characters. But them wanting to take shots and film the abandoned place did give it the realism and add to the surrealism of their situation.It was like watching a fever dream, the deaths were creative, although they weren't as creative as could be, as some were fairly predictable and formulaic, it was the slowness that added to the thrills and the spooks of their surroundings. And the ending felt slightly rushed, I feel like it could of been a better moment If shorter, although I don't want to spoil anything.The characters acting was mostly fine too, nothing particularly noteworthy, and likewise with the script, mostly hauny teenagers in a dangerous environment, putting themselves at risk, although the rear family moments, emotional beats did add the dramatisation and the creativeness the film flawlessly managed.I'd rate this a 4 out of 10 Because it isn't terrible, it Isn't special, But there's also some fun to be had, call me stupid but this film was a Decent enough 'B' Movie. Not bad, 4/10.

Look, it is what it is, but somehow this Popeye was harder to understand than anything Robin Williams ever said.It hurts.I appreciate the lack of CGI but Popeye looks like the last version of Joan Rivers.It feels part Troma but mostly Friday the 13th.The experience could have used a few more quips from the big guy, but then again, the Elephant Man was easier to understand.After 80 years, this viewer hoped to get a bit more then what the film offered.This thing is at least watchable when compared to "Popeye's Revenge."4 out of 10 spinach cans.PS Put something in your pipe and smoke it all before you watch either of these movies.

It is EXACTLY what you would expect

B movies can be great fun! This is not that type of B movie. A few giggles that were certainly not intended aside (as it was because it was so stupid in parts), the script is bland. Acting is, again, what you expect from nobody in particular casting. Writing/Direction is nothing to write home about either. Not fun, bland, and derivative. I wanted so much to have fun with this, but I simply couldn't. No replay value. It is just a bad move. Glad to see practical effects, and they are fine. Nothing special about them, and the camera work helps hide the effects flaws for the most part. Static mask, but you don't see "Popeye" all that much (and it is always dark anyway).
