Goreman - O Psicopata

The movie trailer gives you a good idea about what kind of movie this is. If it pulls you in (like it did me), you'll definitely enjoy it. For those on the fence, it'll help set expectations.

I thought the girl, who seemed a little "off" at the start, made perfect sense once she encountered Psycho Goreman (PG). It would take a personality like hers to deal with PG and remain unphased. It was this relationship that really made the movie work from a light comedic standpoint.

The plot itself is fairly straightforward, as are most of the characters. The kids were terrific, the parents worked really well as a team. I especially found the husband's comedic pacing to be genius. Plenty of gore too, which the team managed to pull off very well (still... this is not a kid's movie).

The trailer convinced me to try it and the actual movie did not disappoint: 7

Psycho Goreman is a movie that knows exactly what it is trying to be, and exactly what its limitations are. It's a five-star three star movie that embraces the fun rubber-suit splatter gore aesthetics of cheesy 80s flicks, the kind that Troma excelled at (but without the vomit and nudity that often went along with it - the main characters are middle-school students after all). The monsters in the film feel like someone decided to do a comic version of Warhammer 40K - strange, horrifying, with gothic elements that incorporate weird baby faces, disturbing technology, magic and machinery. Now put all that firepower in the hands of a truly psychotic middle-schooler, and make it a comedy. It's good, dumb fun that embraces its concept to an almost ludicrous degree. If things like Toxic Avenger, GWAR and Terrorvision make you giggle, of it you just wondered what a weirdly violent Alf-style sitcom based around a Warhammer 40K chaos demon would look like, there's lots to love in this film.

If you're familiar with them, this will be your bag.

...this would be that love child.

It's campy, and silly, and it's definitely people running around in rubber costumes, but it's humorous and amusing.

As others have said, this is a love or hate kinda movie. You're either going to think it's garbage or you're gonna chuckle and enjoy yourself. I had a great time, and I sense a cult film waiting to grow into its status.

Hey it was a lot of fun!! i was really anticipating this film since it was announced. Loved the effects, loved the character designs and the story (mostly) bbbbuutt a few gripes if i may. Firstly i felt they really tried to cram as much stuff into this movie as possible and to me it kinda never really let goreman sink in or shine as a character. It just moved so fast with so much back story and cut aways and outfit changes and songs that it Just kinda felt like throw everything at the wall and hope it sticks. Not all was stuck by the time the credits rolled. Also i have to say and i dont want at all to discourage or knock the young actress because she was aces in her role but man oh man was the main character annoying. The truly evil one in this picture. just such a bossy bratt and i really felt had they approached her character in a different way it would have elevated the movie for me. Its hard to juxtapose goreman as the ultimate evil against someone who is even more of a dick! Annyway aside from that this is a really fun ride and pretty much what youd expect. Solid 6.5 outta 10
