First Viewing
Note: I loved The Void (2016) and I could not wait for the next movie from Steven Kostanski. The movie finally got released this year in theaters and VOD (Video on Demand). I end up watching the movie at home because I didn't feel like driving an hour to see a movie in theaters. So I end up renting the movie from Amazon Prime and I thought the movie was pretty good. Psycho Goreman is not as great as The Void in my opinion, but it was still pretty solid nevertheless.
I really love the production values that this movie has because the special effects are awesome. You get plenty of practical effects for Psycho Goreman (The main character) and the other alien creatures. Even some of the special effects feel reminiscent of a tokusatsu series from Toei such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. That's not a bad thing because I'm a huge tokusatsu fan and it was cool that one of the characters reminds me of the villain designs from Tensou Sentai Goseiger.
I do like the characters in the movie because they are enjoyable. I didn't have any problems with the main two kid characters (Played by Nita-Josee Hanna and Owen Myre) like some people did. They actually did a good job with acting unlike most child actors do in my opinion. Psycho Goreman himself is a badass anti-hero that has a cool voice and an awesome design. It was a lot of fun seeing the gory kills in this movie because the blood and gore feel very authentic looking. I also like that Psycho Goreman does a good job of not taking itself too seriously and it knows how silly the premise is. Psycho Goreman does not try too hard on being self-aware unlike some movies such as WolfCop (2014) in my opinion.
Psycho Goreman is far from perfect because the humor is a mixed bag. You do get really funny moments that give me a good laugh. However, some of the humor can be really cringy at times. I also wish that they went crazier with the gory action sequences in my opinion. There's also a dumb and pointless sing-along that is very annoying to listen to. Overall, Psycho Goreman is a fun sci-fi action movie and I do recommend checking it out.3 years, 3 months ago

Re-Watch
Note: My 4K UHD copy of Crash finally came in the mail today and I had to watch this movie ASAP. I didn't see this movie until I was 16 back in 2007 when I randomly discover it at Suncoast and picked it up because it was a rated NC-17 movie from David Cronenberg. I was pretty much blown away by it and it has become a big fan favorite of mine. After watching it again in 4K UHD, I still love this movie. It takes a genius like David Cronenberg to make a movie about people being sexually turned on by car crashes to truly work. I haven't seen the transfer from Criterion yet, but I doubt it is as good as watching it in 4K UHD from Arrow Video because you have HDR (High-dynamic-range imaging).
All of the details really pop out when you watch it in 4K UHD and it makes everything look stunningly realistic on my 4K TV. What makes Crash a great movie is that it's so entertaining. The sex and violence in this movie have a purpose to the story and it is not just mindless porn like some people claim it to be. It's truly fascinating to watch these characters because they are socially dysfunctional. Crash has a great social commentary on how the human condition is affected by our choice of technology. These characters have a fetish for car crashes and it shows how dangerous some fetishes can be because you are sexually enjoying people getting hurt or killed. You have some disturbing scenes of blood and gore when people are killed in a car crash. People are killed in car crashes almost every day and David Cronenberg is reminding us of the dangers of car crashes. Your life can end at any second just by driving in your car.
James Spader (Stargate) and the other actors do a phenomenal job with their roles. They were the perfect choice to play a bunch of disturbed and crazy people. Another great thing about Crash is the atmosphere and the cinematography from Peter Suschitzky (Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back). Everything in this movie feels so dark, cold, and gritty by having the movie feel grounded to reality. I also love the chilling music score from Howard Shore (The Lord of the Rings trilogy). The music helps the movie feel more creepy and disturbing.
Overall, Crash is a great underrated movie from the 1990s that is worth checking out. This movie is not going to be everyone's cup of tea, so don't watch it if you don't like sex and violence. If you can handle sex and violence on film, you need to see this movie ASAP. 3 years, 3 months ago
