HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME (4) and today we review "rowsdower: the destroyer" ...the movie !!!!!!!
Take 2 parts "final sacrifice" one part "the devils rain" ad some star wars jawas , a little pinch of "cobra" (maybe even a tiny bit of evil dead about the hour mark) and BAM you have this film ......im about 90% positive this thing was made for the sole purpose of satisfying the lead dude/directors NEED to play S. C. A. During the off season with his sword lol...he said ..."you know what , i can do the swords, AND i got a devil hand puppet!!! ...imma make an entire movie bout that !!!!!!!!!!" AND of course hire that ray harry house guy .......
for a film made in 1990 i would have thought it was made in the late 70's or early 80's ..... its got the campy acting, wierd music and stylized feel of older film in general. .... good or bad depending on your tastes ... the FX range from ..decent, to ... well that was ....something ? ... lol........ i mean the less is more they do for the "devil beast" in the beginning...good job .. BUT the devil beast big reveal ??....... LOL .... please no ..... i know you needed the climax but ouch .... it was a bit silly and even for the 1990 era that would have been a rough one ...... again the late 70s absolutely that would have been considered a classic now .... and loved for its cutting edge special FX .... BUT the 90s those were special ed FX at best .......
over all this movie DOES remind me ALOT of the final sacrifice film made famous by mystery science theater 3000 ......it got a lot of like minded aspects to it, cult guys after the rough rugged mustache man and some "kid" along for the ride, yadda yadda .... and IF this would have been some sort of continuation of the adventures of mr. Rowsdower for real .... i believe it would have been awesome for the fans of that episode OF mst3k BUT as it sits its not ..so it sadly loses that possible momentum for a second life in an underground cult statis for that ......
the film its self standing alone .... MEH .... wasnt the best thing .. wasnt the worst thing, if your into cheesy old flicks or just need to have something on while your busy doing other things things ...sure.... but its nothing that if you DONT see it your going to miss something so impactful or life changing ..... about average on the entertainment , and everything is just kind of floating around that mark .........
4/10.
