Yeah, I did watch another one of these crappy public domain horror movies instead of something good like Bugonia. I’m allergic to picking a movie fast, and when I do, it’s mostly mid. But today, folks, we have Popeye the Mofo killing people with his thick sailor arms.
Now, when I watch one of these movies, I want only one thing. It’s not good writing, acting, or cinematography. I want fun. I already knew coming into this thing that it would be bad, but I can want at least something fun, right? Unfortunately, this movie was not fun; it was mostly boring and a stereotypical slasher. Except it’s Popeye doing it, so you have to watch it.
This movie has some moments where I was like, “that could be a good idea.” But the movie either cuts it down or makes it boring. For example, the chase scene with, I think, Derrick. Popeye picks up an anchor, which is a fun idea, but he gets hit once and killed off-screen. That’s one of the only fun things about this movie. Some character moments are actually not bad for these types of movies. I like Olivia’s and Dexter’s on-screen relationship.
Characters in these types of movies are usually one-note and pretty forgettable. That’s the case for Popeye the Poopy Man because I can’t remember half of the characters’ names. There were three characters I cared about, and Katie was removed from half the movie. The boyfriend of Katie is possibly one of my least favorite characters ever. However, his death is one of the funniest in the movie. The rest of the kills aren’t half bad besides the couple that don’t even die from Popeye.
I didn’t hate the ending either. Showing Popeye didn’t want this life was nice to actually watch. It’s all about creativity, baby. To put a pin in this, Popeye the Slayer Man was a movie I was surprisingly not irate about. It’s still not great with its boring premise and its attempt at horror. But it’s probably one of the best public domain horror movies, and that’s saying something when it’s only 1 1/2 stars.
