Hellblazers (2022)
8/10
Solid comedy-horror with a phenomenal "tribute" cast.
22 September 2022
Big city sheriff moves to small town to avoid the high crime and violence, but weird events start to occur, and people start to disappear. What is going on and how many of our cast of goofballs and stereotypes will survive?

Almost every horror staple actor who was still alive at the time of filming was briefly present in this very enjoyable, short, straight-forward movie. Bruce Dern and his character were absolutely hysterical. A hearty Happy Hannukah to you, my friend!

I liked it a lot. The biggest detriment is how light it is on story, script, and dialogue. It almost feels like this was more created as a series of small inside jokes, references and tributes to previous horror movies, rather than its own story. But I still enjoyed it. The silly humor was my kind of humor. There were a few nice and gory kills. And in the end. There is basically zero explanation for the actual supernatural events.

I'll re-watch this often. I liked it very much. It's a solid 8.9 for me, and I revisit this review wondering if I should raise it to a 9, probably only due to a few jokes that I found particularly pleasing and worth seeing regularly.
