Killer mutant Popeye!

It's April 1986 and a group of friends go camping. There's meteor showers that night and they happen to mutate an old sailor into a jacked up killing machine.Ollie, Castor and friends get the surprise of a lifetime when they encounter Popeye! Shiver Me Timbers has a lot of over the top gore and plenty of nods to 1980s B-movies.Shiver Me Me Timbers isn't the worst that I've seen. It's honestly one of the better horror films that turns popular children's characters into killers.If you can borrow this from your local library or stream this online for free, it's decent enough for a single viewing. It's not something that I would care to watch again.

Creative...

Comets are nothing to mess around with.I must admit that Popeye the Sailor Man is just about the last character I'd ever associate with the horror genre, so I was intrigued to see what the writers and director were going to do to make him scary. It was funny to see how they used his catchphrases and habits in news ways to keep the audience entertained. He made me laugh and shrink back in fear at the same time which is exactly the reaction I hoped I would have.While I didn't need a lengthy explanation of why Popeye appeared, I did find myself wishing for more plot development here. The reason given for his murderous escapades never quite made sense to me, and trying to figure it out was a distraction from both the horrifying and the comical moments in this film. I would have chosen a higher rating if this wasn't the case.It isn't necessary to be familiar with 1980s slasher flicks in order to enjoy this homage to them, but viewers who have seen at least one or two horror films from that decade may notice some cool throwbacks to the way things were filmed a few decades ago. Without giving away spoilers, I'm specifically thinking of the way rural settings were sometimes used to amp up the suspense back then and how isolation and fear could lead a character to make impulsive decisions that they might not have chosen if, say, they'd been in a city surrounded by other people.Shiver Me Timbers was creative.

Why all negative reviews? Hilariously good

Absolutely nobody who puts this movie on is expecting an oscar winner nor anything serious. Why people are hating on this when it's been done deliberately that bad it becomes good and hits all the hilarity you could expect from a movie of this ilk... I'm sorry but this is definitely a 6 and will keep you laughing all the way through just for the sheer hilarity. They nailed this, fun night in. Only idiots would actually expect this to be a serious movie. What's not to like about a old aged pensioner who smokes a pipe fishing getting hit by an asteroid and then turning into a pot smoking serial killing meathead.
