Panman (2011) User Reviews

Dumb indie slasher spoof

[Leofwine_draca · 1/10 · 7 January 2018]

PANMAN is a very lame indie comedy horror flick about a guy dressed in black with a steel pan on his head. He's this movie's anti-hero, initially involved in a sweet romance with an innocent woman before the events of the plot take a dark turn and spur him into a slasher-inspired evil. He subsequently goes on a killing spree, taking his anger out on a group of vigilantes. There are some brief gory moments but this is nowhere near as funny as it thinks it is; instead, it's just plain bad.

Dumb but somehow brilliant!

This film is absolutly ridiculous but I ended up loving every single part of it, from the insanely creative kills to the messy plot that is still somehow cohesive and fun . PanMan is easily one of my favorite films I've seen this year. If you find yourself absolutely bored with nothing to watch I implore you to find this film somewhere and watch this ridiculous masterpiece.

Potential Cult Classic

[yaktheripper · 7/10 · 14 October 2012]

Panman is a Post-Modern slasher film with it's tongue cold chillin in it's cheek. Panman is silly. There are laughs to be found. It has an amusing sometimes clever script and it never takes itself seriously at all. The acting is the real bugaboo here. Some performances work, some are too far over the top and it finds itself swimming into satire, which is less gutsy then a strictly absurdest approach that would have, I feel, made it shine a little brighter for it's intended audience. Still there's enough goofy flavoring baked in that it succeeds to outperform far bigger budgeted movies with far less. Premise is basically "masked" killer (or killer with cooking pot on his head) kills culinary students and a "special" team of culinary students with their custard professor attempt to hunt him down and kill him. Of course, being a super slasher, he is supernatural and is in all reality a demon crossed with a dead Russian chef. Toss in a tragic love story and a sister out for "Justice" and you have an idea. Sadly, as mentioned, though well written and firmly filmed, the acting spoils the course. G.Larry Butler, in particular, goes to far overboard in his performance and produces the most groans. If his role was perhaps toned down a notch or given a different actor, this movie would be a little more likable. All in all, it's enjoyable but perhaps a tad too long. Maybe it would have worked better as a short. If you like Eagleheart, FDR, Black Dynamite and such..you might fall for this "ham".

why is it so good?

[Amixthekid · 10/10 · 24 October 2021]

This movie is really dumb but why it gets so cool at the end one of the nonsense and dumbest movies i've ever seen but its so good somehow like the rubber.

Amazing

[akilesshkrshnae · 10/10 · 24 October 2021]

Possibly the greatest movie of all time. The amount of hilarity in the movie and the lack of seriousness is amazing. Sound effects are top notch as well.

Easy 10/10

[bbamblog · 10/10 · 25 October 2021]

Single best horror I have seen in decades. The lighting, sound design and acting are absolutely immaculate. If you love the grittiness from Zach Snyder's DC, then this is the next best thing, and it is a very close margin. This is the finest addition to film since hits like The Shining, IT, or any of Stephan Kings movie adaptations. If you are looking for a perfect endcap to a weekend with whoever you are dating, please pick this movie!

10/10

[meep-03428 · 10/10 · 23 October 2021]

Best movie in the world, what more can I say. I honestly watch this movie every Friday night so I can have something to look forward to. Everyone should buy this movie and show it to your family and friends.

I LOVE PANMAN

[tenjor · 10/10 · 12 April 2022]

G LARRY BUTLER, is the guy we all want to be our grandfather.

He is an impeccable human being, I admire and enjoy as many times as I can his role as Professor Hunter.

I love Panman, Tim Pilleri, he is an amazing guy, and I heard there is a sequel and I want to see it as soon as possible.

Must Watch

[fishbeater · 10/10 · 11 December 2021]

This movie is a must, Imagine a low-budget "scary movie" where the killer falls in love, gets betrayed and goes on a killing spree with a pan on his head.

the most pantastick slasher

[stevenxnthpls · 10/10 · 19 April 2022]

This film is so stupid yet so amazing at the same time. This slasher is probabably the funniest of it gengre.the writing is very bad?good? Depends on who you ask.panman is suprisingly developed as a character and the kills! Oh the kills! They are amazing.*spoiler starts here*on one kill he literaly puts salt on someones wound*end of spoiler* if you want an amazing time waster to watch with friends (or if you are high) i reccomend this.

Best Movie of the Universe

[gl-06214 · 10/10 · 27 October 2022]

The beginning of the movie add me in tears beacause I dindn't know the tragic story of Panman and Hope. I might add that it was to sad for me.

Thjem I became exaultanted at the fact that he decided to kill the rest of the students who stole is recipe of the.poach salmon.

The special effects and the acting were perfect even oscard winning performances.

The end of the movie was the best part because we see the body of Jeremy get carried away by the waves. I thnk it was a metaphore for the cycle of life that all humans go throught.

Truly an amasing movie a recomend and wait impaciantely for the next one.
