She Never Died

Apparently this is a follow up to a movie called He Never Died starring Henry Rollins, as a fan of him I'd like to watch that despite me thinking "She" is a pile of garbage. Off the record an ageing cop investigates a human trafficking gang, they also make snuff and torture movies. He is aided by a female hobo called Lacey, she has superhuman strength, is immortal and has an appetite for eating human fingers! They are joined by one of the gang's victims, a young woman whose purpose is to inject some comedy into the messy plot. At the end it goes all Biblical Apocalypse. Despite no back story I thought the Lacey character was quite cool ("She's a real scary person that Lacey", one character says). Sadly everything else is poor - bad acting, terrible dialogue, messy plot, a typical B minus movie.

If they would of given the lead actor like a hell of a lot more lines then the grunts she did. I would of given this movie a higher score. The plot was simple enough to follow and the action was okay. I just really wish she had more dialogue and if the guy from He Never Died would of showed up that would of done it for me.

Written by Jason Krawczyk, the writer behind the cult low-budget indie HE NEVER DIED, this almost-maybe sequel is a swing and a miss. First it lacks the charm and intensity that Rollins imbued into the original character. Plus, it pretty much checks all the boxes for the tell-tales of an extreme low-budget effort -- musky lighting, very few actors, scenes that go on way too long, really bad music that just fills space, etc.

As a stand alone movie, I don't think "She Never Died" makes much sense. I believe it only worked for me because I saw "He Never Died" first. I suggest you do the same. "She Never Died" is only worth watching if you have watched its predecessor first.

The sequel to he is not dead. It is entertaining but I wish the acting was a bit better. The main character was good but all the rest were sub par.

I find it amusing that this is a 10 on rotten tomatoes. Goes to show that ImDB hosts the better reviewers.
