Screamboat

Mild Surprise as with Popeye the Slayer Man

I didn't have much faith going in to Screamboat, but as it turns out, it ain't too bad. Kind of in a Popeye the Slayer Man way. The production and acting are well enough and we can guarantee ourselves the simplest plot of all time.

I'll say that this refresh of Grimm fairytales, etc. like Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and, I think there's a Bambi one out there too, are running out of steam, but if the producers can just keep these movies on a Screamboat or Popeye the Slayer Man level, they just might have something.

Didn't expect much from this as most of these public domain IP horror movies are pretty poor. This is one of the slight exceptions. It feels like those slasher's from the 90's and early 2000's. Not really scary but just fun goofy splatter films. The acting mostly ok with a couple of very bad ones. The story is an afterthought and barely there. The blood and gore is plentiful and there are a ton of kills. The only real woke is maybe some lite DEI casting but that's about it, could be considered woke free maybe. Worth checking out if you like the aforementioned type of horror films.
