PG Psycho Goreman

PG psycho goreman is not only a vibrant homage to the genre cinema of the 80s, mixing with real ingenuity horror, superheroes, teenage comedy and science fiction films, but above all, it does so without any restraint. Far from being a true cinematic UFO, PG psycho goreman is also a worthy descendant of the Japanese television productions of the 80s in which violence was as present as special effects more or less successful.

Yet PG psycho goreman is not just a simple assembly of ideas from other works to which it refers, this film manages to create its own universe and proves to be totally jubilant in its way of taking a rather accurate look at childhood and the cruelty of certain young people imposing their will not only on outmoded parents but also on the other children of the family like the hectic Mimi and her whipping boy brother Luke.

The rather simplistic scenario in its form proves to be perfect, however, to lay a solid foundation for offering entertainment that is spicy and in line with the anthological scenes. For example, after unearthing a gem that controls an evil monster seeking to destroy the Universe, a young girl and her brother use it to make him obey their orders and they will find themselves facing many other intergalactic monsters.

Discovering this film, one recalls with a certain nostalgia the film Masters of the Universe (1987) in which humans were also going to find themselves in an intergalactic conflict but this time the hero character turns out to be a monster eager for violence and to conquer new planets. While most American films seek to minimize violence in order to conquer a very large audience, PG: Psycho Goreman makes no concessions and the numerous gory scenes are numerous here but also show a perfectly brought humor.

After Manborg (2011), The Void (2016), Leprechaun Returns (2018), PG: Psycho Goreman is Steven Kostanski's fourth film and the first for which he wrote the script without his collaborator Jeremy Gillespie. PG: Psycho Goreman is also by far his best to date, as the direction and the many special effects show real care. The many excellent ideas in the script give this film a very special aura because, far from being as badly and outrageously badly written as the films Trauma, PG: Psycho Goreman is quite similar to the Spawn universe of Todd McFarlane. We will also appreciate the numerous flashbacks allowing us to better understand the character of Psycho Goreman. Former slave of the Templars on his home planet Gigax, the gem he found gave him unlimited strength and power, allowing him to create his own army and confront the Templars. However, the latter succeeded in capturing him and sending him to a planet considered primary (Earth).

PG: Psycho Goreman easily proves to be one of the most original and jubilant films of the beginning of this year, certainly intended for a certain public but which has everything to impose itself as a cult film to be seen and seen again. The deliberately open ending suggests a sequel or an extension, why not in the form of a comic book, as the potential is so great and the impact so undeniable.
