The X-Files Film Review

 

The X-Files was one of the more bigger shows of the nineties with even it's theme song being truly iconic. Therefor it did make sense for the makers of the show to the characters and the world to the biggest screen possible and in 1998 that's exactly what they did with the very film that i'm going to be talking to you all about as while i've never seen a single episode of the show or watched any of the movies I felt like watching this one and so then join me as I review the film that really was devised to be the start of a new series of the film with the film in question being called simple just "The X-Files" enjoy.

The plot of this film is FBI agents Mulder and Scully try to uncover a government conspiracy about Alien life on earth. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us inn this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the films plot being something that you might expect to find as the main plot for an episode of the show and while that is something that does work for the show for the movie it doesn't work as this films plot does very much feel like a TV show plot stretched to almost two hours with there being large portions of the film where nothing is happening plot wise. With this having the add of effect of making what could have been seen as being a really cool plot now seem dull and boring as alot of the time we are forced to watch these characters struggle to piece things together and to go to government meetings which is somethings that is never interesting when that's alot of what the film is with the films plot being at best thin as the film doesn't focus all that much on the plot as it rather spends more time on weather or not Mulder and Scully are still going to be partners at the end of the film which is something that would have been great back in 1998 but now almost thirty years later when there have been more seasons to the show and a directors cut of this films sequel it makes that plot point useless and one could even argue that it was pointless back then as there could be a chance that alot of people might not have seen the show and like myself are watching this film to get a good taste of what the show is like with the plot of this film also not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this film is David Duchovny as Special Agent Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Special Agent Dana Scully. Also starring in this film is Martin Landau as Alvin Kurtzweil , Blythe Danner as Jana Cassidy , Armin Mueller-Stahl as Conrad Strughold , Mitch Pileggi as Assistant Director Walter Skinner , William B. Davis as Cigarette-Smoking Man , John Neville as Well-Manicured Man , Dean Haglund as Richard "Ringo" Langly , Bruce Harwood as John Fitzgerald Byers , Tom Braidwood as Melvin Frohike , Jeffrey DeMunn as Ben Bronschweig , Jason Beghe as FBI Man at Bomb Site , Michael Shamus Wiles as Black-Haired Man , Terry O'Quinn as Special Agent in Charge Darius Michaud , Lucas Black as Stevie , Gary Grubbs as Fire Captain Cooles , Don S. Williams as First Elder and George Murdock as Second Elder.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us inn this very film was in all honesty not that bad. The fact that film does have some decent acting in it is something that does make alot of sense as the film does have a few people outside of the main lead actors being carried over from the show with those being the best actors in the film as they understand the tone and feel of the show and can therefor translate that to the big screen whereas alot of the films more newer actors play things so straight that there performances do become boring to watch. With the best actor in the whole entire film being Gillian Anderson as Special Agent Dana Scully with her getting alot of the films more dramatic scenes which does give her a chance to show us just what it is that she could do as an actor with this being something that does play to the films advantage as it's in those scenes where she gets to truly shine with her for obvious reasons having some truly wonderful chemistry with David Duchovny to the point where you do buy that these two opposites would not only be friends but also be each others love interest with her using her natural likability which is something that really does come through in her performance. With the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this script for this film is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely anything to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

The characters in this film really are about as decent as you'd expect from a film that's based off of a TV show. As while they would have ben fully drawn out on the show in the movie that's not the case and this is something that is going to be true for all films that are based off of a TV show but at the same time tho it does make it hard new people to jump on with this film as this film doesn't a good enough job of making the characters feel accessible enough for newer audiences and to be fair the makers of this film really didn't have to do that as let's be honest here it's going to be the fans that are going to watch this film and they'll already know who the characters are and how they act in certain situations but at the same time tho it would have been nice if the makers of this film did make the characters feel more accessible to new fans. As they could have used this film as a way to get more fans to watch the show as then they they would be seeing the characters that they like in a world that they are familiar with yet they don't do that with the end result being characters that while they do feel as well thought out as they could have done with Mulder being the lovable the goofball who actually knows what he's doing and Skully being the straight man to his funny man but is also willing to believe the impossible and that's all we get out of the characters and while that is fine for an episode of the show as the show has countless episodes to get across parts of there personality in the movie they don't have that privilege and therefor there should have been more of en effort to get across just who these characters are as people rather then just relying on the fans to all the work.

Whilst this show is set inbetween the fifth and sixth seasons of the show this film was meant to serve as the series finale with the idea being to then take the world of the show to the big screen which is a really good idea as that then allows for more bigger and bolder stories that couldn't be told in a TV show on a TV show budget. the issue here being that Fox demanded that the show be carried on and that the movie be used as a bridge between the two seasons with this films writer and producer Chris Carter even saying that he found the task of writing the movie to be very daunting with this being something that explains why the film makes a big deal of the titular X files being closed at the start of the film and then being reopened at the end of the film. Yeah this film would have been much more better as a series finale of sorts as then the makers of this film could just go all out and make the film that they wanted to make whereas with Fox forcing them to make the film as a gap between the fifth and sixth seasons just doesn't work as it then has to shoe horn a reason for the audience to watch the next episode or the next season of the show whereas if this film was allowed to end the show and the series was allowed to continue onward as a series of films then it would have allowed for the makers of this film to tell bigger stories and to go all out with there ideas something which they wouldn't have been able to do on a TV show budget and yet with a film it is something that they would have been able to do whilst still being true to the show and the fans that helped to make such a success in the first place, yet because of the fact that Fox just saw the rating for the show it meant that they lost the chance of making millions of dollars at the box office with several films instead of getting several more seasons on the show which wouldn't have made them that much more money in the long run.

To be frank here this film is so boring to watch as for alot of the films running time there's nothing happening no plot , no characters , no scares and while that is fine for an episode of the show as if one episode is bad it's OK because there's several other great ones just corner. Yet with a film you really do need tot knock it out of the park right a way and this is something that film just doesn't do with the films throwing so many characters and plot lines at you that it is hard to keep up with not only who is who but what there plot in the film is with the film being a slow burner of a film and while being a slow burner can work for a film if you you film isn't that long this film is almost two hours long and there are long portions where there's just nothing going on. All this ended up doing was it resulted in me not only checking how long was left in the film as it was going painfully slow but it also left me to checking my phone alot of the time and that is always a bad sign as you never ever want to be checking your phone when your watching something as you should always want to be hooked and be entertained by what your seeing on screen maybe if I was more of a fan of the show then this wouldn't be an issue as this kind of pacing does seem to be more in line with the show but the issue with that is the fact that the show has several seasons to tell its story where as with a film you have two hours and therefor you can't really afford to take the same approach to storytelling as the two mediums are vastly different and need to be treated as such, however the when the film does get tense and does get exciting that's what it picks up and starts to be this pretty solid but then the film will cut away from the good stuff and spend another thirty to forty minuets on being a slow burner.

Another issue with the film is the editing as the film doesn't give chance to see the thing that you've come to this movie to see that being monster. Due to the fact that when the monster does show up and does kill someone the editing around it is so fast that you can't tell what's happening yet this is meant to be a horror film therefor we want to be see the monster and we want to see the kills and yet we never do the idea for this film seems to be to rush past all of the good stuff and to slow down on the slow and boring stuff when it really did need to be the over away around as no one is going to this film to see the meetings that Skully has to go and yet the film spend alot of time on showing us every single one of them when all this does is eat up time that would have been better saved on showing us the monster and in showing us the kills. Yet when the film is showing us soke really creepy scenes the film does then slow down and let us bathe in the tension to the point where we do feel tense and we want the scare to happen with a good example of this being the films opening scene with the bomb as that scene is so well paced that by the time the police do finally arrived we are on edge wanting to know if the character that is going to obviously make it out OK actually gets to make it out OK yet with the scenes with the monster attacking people we don't get that heck we don't even get a good look at the monster as all of the time that we see it it's shown in the dark when it would have been more effective for show us the audience what this creature granted the makers of this film might not have thought that the monster looked all that good but then one has to wonder why there is a longer cut of the film out there that does show us more of the monster when stuff like that should have been in the main cut of the film and not in a home media cut of the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly hour and fifty seven minuets and fifty three seconds. With this film being more based off of the theatrical cut as the extended cut runs for over two hours with neither running time being the right running time for a film like this as this film very easily could have told its entire plot in well under one hours and forty five minuets just by focusing on the main plot and cutting alot of the pointless filler scenes that add nothing to this films plot and are there just to get people to watch the next season of the show as there alot of filler scenes in this film with alot of pointless characters as we didn't need Cigarette-Smoking Man in this film as his scenes add nothing to the plot of the film other then to set up the fact that the X files have been reopened at the end of the film an that's it with this film not even having enough plot to there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Heck the film doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the the film doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot as the film can't fully develop its plot as it's alot more interested in focusing on other things other then it's main plot and yet when the film does focus on its main plot that's when it gets to be most interesting with the makers of this film being alot more interested in setting up the shows sith season then they are in giving us a well developed plot. This is something that does to much more lesser extent effect the films character development as while the films main characters don't get any kind of character development in this film it's more understandable in this case as they would have had several dozen episodes both prior to and after this film to get all of there character development and while yes it would have been nice if this film did give them literally any kind of character development it really wasn't needed with the makers of this film instead giving more thought and effort to all of the pointless side characters then they were into giving the characters some actual character development but I really will admit that this film really does have some really bad pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk abut the actual scares that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual scares that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the films scares quiet honestly being the best part of the film as outside of the scenes with the monster attacking a few people we actually get to see alot of the scares and alot of the tension be built up really with the makers of the film really taking as full advantage of the fact that they have this longer running time to build up tension then what they might have done in an episode of the show. With the best scare in the entire film being when Mulder and Skully find themselves in a domed building in the middle of nowhere and suddenly the floors start to open up revealing several dozen bees forcing the duo out into the corn field where they then get chased further by men in black helicopters with this scene being so good because of not only the fact that the we get to see it but also because of the fact that the film got to build up tension by showing the characters first finding this building ad then walking inside it even looking at the floors that are about to open up with the film really taking its time in building up tension for that one scare which does pay off as it is a genuinely creepy moment in the film with it even playing a huge part in the plot of the film later on with the rest of the films scares being just as good as well in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

Overall this really shouldn't go without saying but your not going to like this film if your not already a fan of the how as it does give more of what the show was only now its in a feature film format but in saying that given the middling reviews that this film got upon release its easy to say that not even fans of the show will find this film to be all that enjoyable to watch in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this film really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in his very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally sued in this very review from Tenor , Amazon . Co . Uk , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Popeye: Resurrection Film Review

For some odd reason even tho film makers have been struggling to give this character a feature length film since the eighties Popeye now has just as many horror films under his belt as Mickey Mouse does. Fair enough the cartoons made Popeye more popular but Mickey Mouse is one of the most popular cartoon characters in the world yet it's this one sailor that has just as many cheaply made and poorly done horror films with there being another one to add to the list with this film being released around about the same as Popeye: Requiem and even being a direct sequel to that film and so then join me as I review the film that doesn't have that much Popeye in this Popeye themed horror movie with the film in question being called simply just "Popeye: Resurrection" enjoy.

The plot of this film is some time after the events of the previous film Cassie finds herself being stalked by a cult that is hell bent on bringing Popeye back to life and it's up to Cassie to defeat the cult and it's leader who holds a strong connection to Popeye. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad. The fact that this films plot is as bad as it is is something that is to be expected from these Popeye sequels as all of them do have really bad plots to them with the none of them having plots that are good in a so bad it's good kind of way. While there is some effort to tell a decent plot with this film it's to little to late as alot of people myself included would have been turned off after the second film with this films carrying on a franchise tradition with them not really starting the plot of the film until about half way into the film itself with this making it feel like that the plot of this film is more of an afterthought compared to literally anything else as there is more thought into having some classic Popeye characters outside Popeye and the Bluto knock off that they had in the previous film be apart of this film then there is into actually making this films plot good, with this films plot being at best really laughably thin as it does get hard to tell just what the main plot of the film is even meant to be for large portions f the films running time with this films plot not even being really rather entertaining and nor is is really rather rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Lara Sas as Cassie , Steven Murphy as Popeye , Ruth E Maku as Maya and Victoria Pym as Olive Oyl. Also starring in this film is Arthur Wilde as Paul , Fitim DeStena as Dylan , Rachel Page-Molloy as Melissa , Rene Vrabel as Joe , Oliver John Lee as Ben , Clarisse Félix as Racheal , Charlotte Bhattacharjee as Cult Member Junkie 1 , Espen Wiken Lund as Cult Member 1 and this films wrier Craig McLearie as Cult Member Junkie 3.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad. Much like with the films plot this is a very common thing in these Popeye sequels and is something that we do have to expect is going to be a thing walking into the film with the film not for obvious reasons being able to afford the best actors but even with that in mind the actors that they do get do a passable enough job in this film to make you forget that the film that your watching isn't that good of a film in the first place, With the best actor in this film being Lara Sas as Cassie as at times it does feel like that she is the only actor who is actively trying to turn in a good performance with her also having the advantage of being one of the few actors that have been in alot of these films and therefor does have a good handle on her character with her doing her best to make Cassie seem more likable and warm in this film with her playing to her own strengths as an actor that being said tho there are times in this film where she could have done with another take just t help make her performance be all the more better however that was never going to be the case given the fact that this film does have a really small budget which might have been spread across the over sequels as well with her adding her own natural charm to the role that really does shine through in her performance. With the acting that's in this very film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely anything to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Character wise again much like with the previous three films this films characters are all really bland and very one note. With none of this films characters being all that interesting as the returning characters are still being written poorly with the only one that gets a chance to show of her personality of being goofy at times being Cassie with her even going from a camp councilor to a stay at home nurse which is fitting given the fact that the previous two films have shown Cassie to have some basic medical skills and therefor it's a huge leap to see her become this stay at home nurse but at the same time tho there is still nothing about her character as she just does what the plot of the film demands that she do regardless of if its something that her character would do. With none of the films new characters being all that memorable with Maya being the typical best friend character that is just there to be killed off an while the film does try to do something new with her character by having her be in league with Olive the film undoes all of that by having her realise that Olive was lying to her when it would have made her character much more interesting is she remained not fully evil but someone who is easily influenced by people and while Olive herself isn't technically a new character as she did appear in Popeye's Revenge seeing her take on the role of a cult leader just felt wrong for her character even taking into account that she is a kids character that is being turned into the villain as while yes this version of Olive does still love Popeye here they are brother and sister yet it makes no sense as to why she brings him back in this film and never did the same thing for Popeye: Returns with her character just being that of a generic cult leader which just makes her a dull and boring character to watch in the first place.

Unlike alot of two part films there is usually one flowing storyline throughout all of the films with this being something that makes both parts worth watching. Here tho not only with this film but this entire trilogy of films there is no flowing story as while Returns and Requiem have a flowing plot with the army and Cassie trying to survive and then kill Popeye they did that at the end of the third film therefor there was no need for this film to be made as the story was all wrapped up with the plot element that the third film didn't wrap up that being the secret formular that made Popeye in the first place yes playing a part in the film but it doesn't get resolved as outside of one scene near the end of the film it's something that is never brought up in the film. Heck even Dylan who was basically there version of Bluto is relegated to a cameo near the middle of the middle of the film where Cassie imagines Popeye coming to kill her only to get saved by Dylan and that's that when it would have been alot more interesting if the film had picked up on the plot threat of Dylan having taken the same drug that made Popeye and shown us how it's effecting him as that's something that we never got to see in any of the other films heck we never even get to find out Bluto into this films world even stands for bottom line here being that there are alot of plot points that needed to be addressed to give this franchise some form of closure and yet they weren't, when this is something that all multipart films need to as they are all telling one big story and part of that does include wrapping up any and all plot points it doesn't need to be in a major way it could just be something that's gets mentioned in one line of dialog from any of the characters and it would work just as well and yet they don't do it which just makes the makers of this film seem lazy as they don't even bother to wrap up the story that they themselves are trying to tell.

In what was kind of a shocking move this film does feature Popeye talking for the first time in this series. With him saying "I Yam What I Yam" which is not the title of a song from the first and so far only great theatrically released Popeye film but it's also the nae of what is technically the first Popeye cartoon as it is the first in the Popeye series of cartoon but it wasn't the first to feature Popeye as that honor goes to a Betty Boop cartoon called "Popeye The Sailor" therefor it was oddly fitting to see this film make that reference as it does show that the makers of this film do know there Popeye lore but at the same time tho it does feel weird that they would wait until this film to do something like that as all of the other Popeye sequels had no other major references to anything that's to do with Popeye and yet this film seems to be the one that got alot of them. With the only thing that was missing being a more dark and twisted version of the classic Popeye theme song as if you going to include alot of things from the Popeye lore then why not go all out ad heck why not show the character eating Spinach the one food that he is known to love these are things that are yes campy and corny but given the fact that this film has two beloved kids characters as the main villains doing something that's serious was thrown right out of the window say what you will about the Blood And Honey films but they at the very least accepted the fact that there corny and campy films and yet this film seems to by ignoring the fact that it's based off of a comic strip and cartoon character when leaning into those aspects of the franchise would have made the film alot more fun to watch with the makers of this film then being able to include more nudges and winks to other aspects of Popeye lore be it characters like the Burger loving Wimpy or more lore from the character of Popeye himself.

Whilst the first film Popeye's Revenge did have Olive in it she was more of a side character in that film where as here in this film she is straight up the main villain. With her being the one to convince these people to bring Popeye back to life and even being the one to tell Popeye to go and kill one of the people that helped to bring him back to life in the first place this is all a very good idea but it makes Popeye feel like a side character in this own movie as the titular resurrection doesn't happen until near the end of the film with the rest of the of the early part of the film being spent of showing us what Cassie has been up to since the events of the previous film which is all well and good but this is a Popeye horror film therefor we want to see Popeye not the final girl. With Olive not even taking the time to explain not only how she knew that her brother had died in the first place but also why she's bringing him back in the first as both of those things that are things that should have been explained either in a credits scene at the end of the previous film or at the very least in the opening of this film and yet we get neither which just makes Olive's plan feel less thought out as we don't know what she wants to do with Popeye once he's brought back to life with this being something that makes her feel less threatening as a villain when Popeye's Revenge made out to be someone who yes loved her brother dearly but was also really insane both of which are things that would have made for great jumping off points for the makers of this film and yet they don't do which just makes her character feel like a waste of a good idea as like it or not having Olive Oyl be a villain in a horror film no matter if it's good or not is a good idea and its something that could be great if its done well which sadly in this film it just isn't done all that well.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifteen minuets and fifty two seconds. Which actually makes this film around four minuets longer then the previous film but even so this is a film that really didn't need to be that long as you could have cut down alot on the stuff with Cassie at the start of the film and alot of the early stuff with the cult as none of that effects this films plot with all feeling like padding with those scenes then being able to be replaced by scenes that not only add things to this films plot but also help to wrap up things from the previous films like why isn't Dylan in this film yes it's hinted that he died not long after his fight with Popeye but it's never said to be the case and having him help Cassie out would have been a nice way to include the character with this film just about having enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. However tho despite this film being about four minuets longer then the previous film this film still doesn't use its running time all that wisely use to the fact that this film really does doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot ad there are exactly no scenes in this film that add anything to the plot of the film and that help it feel more fleshed out when this is something that the makers of this film really should have taken the time to do as this is the film that needed it's plot to be really fleshed out and well developed with the makers of this film putting more and thought into giving us an obscure reference to Popeye media then they are into giving us a well developed plot. This is something that does also effect the films character development as well as even tho Cassie has been the main character of these sequels we only just now find out what her last name is and that's it as we find out nothing else about her character and heck we find out noting about any of the new characters either with none of this films characters getting the chance to grow and ending the film in the exact same place that they started in with the makers of his film putting alot more thought and effort into making sure that we know that Olive is the main character on this film then they did the films character development but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher film that really does mean that I have to actually talk abut the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best. With the films kills being the best part of the film which is really saying something about the rest of the film as out side of one kill around the mid way point of the film and one at the start of the film it takes to near the end of the film for us to actually see some kills in this film which if this film was near two hours long wouldn't be a bad things as then you could argue that the makers of this film were just pacing themselves when it comes to the kills yet this film is barely a feature length running time therefor we do need to be getting to the kills alot more quicker then that. With the best kill in the film like with the previous film being the death of Popeye as after brutally killing of Olive we get to see Cassie just go nuts on Popeye hitting him several times with what might be a machete with some really impressive looking blood getting spilled all over her with the whole thing coming to end when Cassie beheads Popeye which for a low budget film such as this did look really good with the kill itself being something that really makes Cassie out to be a complete and total bada*s as she straight up takes on two killers all by herself and while she really only just wins she still wins with the rest of the films kills being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall finally this series of Popeye films is done and Frenchie Films can make some other terrible movie as while this film isn't as bad as Popeye Returns was it's also not as good as the previous film was with this film being a lackluster end to a lackluster series of films in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 0.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally sued in his very review from Tenor , Amazon . Co . Uk and IMP Awards . Com. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Popeye: Requiem Film Review

For some odd reason Popeye of all characters seems to be the in character to give a cheaply made horror film to this is despite the fact that an official big screen take on the character has been hard to pull off since the eighties. As now we have part two of a three part series of sequels with the final part also out right now and yeah if you've seen either Popeye's Revenge or Popeye Returns then you pretty much no what it is your going to be getting with bad film as even the worst of the original Popeye cartoons is better then this film and so then join me as I review the film that has a predictable reveal with the film in question being called simply just "Popeye: Requiem" enjoy.

The plot of this film is mere moments after being captured at the end of the second film Popeye once again escapes the military and it's up to a few survivors from the previous film to try and not only survive this latest attack but also call of a military air strike. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this film was in all honesty really bad. With this films plot at best being laughably bad and at it's worst just straight up not there with the films plot not even being so bad it's good it's just bad as it does feel like that the makers of this film had no idea of what kind of story that they wanted to tell and where just throwing stuff at the wall with none of it sticking. Heck the film doesn't even focus on it's plot alot of the time which does make the films plot feel secondary to the fact that they have a beloved kids character as the main villain which even then given the fact that there is a shockingly high amount of Popeye themed horror films doesn't even work as we the audience could just watch quite literally any of the other Popeye horror films and get a better plot therefor there really should have been more of an effort to give this film a better plot as this the middle part of a three film story and there's no story reason for this to be the case as what little plot there is in not only the previous film but also this film doesn't warrant being told over multiple parts with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this film is Lara Sas as Cassie , Steven Murphy as Popeye , Fitim DeStena as Dylan and Danny Sains as Oscar. Also starring in this film is Marie Ann Watson as Dr. Bernard , Juliette Smith as Lindy , Arber Prendi as Questel , Christopher Morley as O'Brien , Graeme Muncer as Donnelly , Jack Hyde as Mendoza , Nathan Geering as Deitch , Amy Gibbons as Tina , Will Middleton as Malcolm , Mark Tunstall as Derek and Jessie Vinning as Kitty.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this film was in all honesty really bad. Look the fact that this film has as bad of acting as it is has is something that we do have to expect from these films not just the Popeye films but also films like The Mouse Trap and Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare as they all do have bad acting in them and the same thing is true for his film with even the actors that are returning from Popeye Returns and are or going to be in Popeye: Resurrection not being all that good in this film. With the best actor in the film being Lara Sas as Cassie as while she doesn't get to do a whole lot in this film especially when compared to the previous film she is still in the film alot and alot of her scenes in the film are decently acted and while her acting in this film isn't that good when compared to the rest of the films actors however it does come off as being alot more better as you can tell that she is trying to turn in a good performance with her treating the film like it's going to be a big break for her when it's obviously not as no one is going to be seeing this film and it will just get lost in the shuffle of all the Popeye themed horror films out there therefor there was no need for her treat this film as if it's going to lead to something bigger with her natural charm shining through in her performance. With the acting that's in this film not really being helped by he fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely anything to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Character wise this films characters are just as bland , dull , boring and forgettable as you'd think that they would be. As all of them are badly done characters which for the new characters is fine as they are just there to serve as victims for Popeye but it's also the same thing for the returning characters as none of this films characters have anything interesting about them that makes you want to like and want to get to know more about as the film doesn't take the time to let you get to know and to let them become more then then trope that they are hoping to be as Dylan is still the hold over character from Popeye's Revenge and Cass is still just a blank slate that does whatever the plot tells her to do even if it's against what little character she has in the first place. To be frank it does feel like that the writers of these films spent a weekend writing up all of the scripts as the characters are that bare bones with this being something that makes it obvious that the makers of this film didn't care about making a genuinely good film they cared more about making a cheaply made cash grab of a film with that being something that does shine through in the films characters as they very easily could have fixed this films characters by doing a rewrite of the films script as then they would have the chance to fix any and all issues with both the script and its characters and yet due to the fact that they didn't care about that they just left the characters as bare bones characters and while yes alot of the slasher films of eighties also did exactly that those films were making those tropes in the first place and not following them with even alot of them having fun with those tropes once they started to become popular whereas here tho it does feel like that they just weren't that bothered to make interesting characters and were just hoping that people will like the film because of the fact that a beloved kids character is the main villain.

This film is the middle part of a three part storyline and it really didn't need to be three films long as unlike Avengers: Infinity War or any two part film this film as well as Popeye Returns and Popeye: Resurrection don't have a story that is worth telling across as three film. With the whole point of doing a multipart film being to tell a story that can't be told in one film and yet you could very easily tell the stories of these films in one film as the story being told what little there is isn't big enough to demand multiple films yet for some odd reason the makers of these Popeye sequels thought that this is a story that does demand alot of films all of which being released very close together to tell there story and it just makes you wonder what they were thinking when they came up with that idea. With this film being the middle part of the story and yet there's nothing in this film that raises the stakes of the story and that makes you want to watch part 4 as while they do start something with the military almost bombing the area where the main characters are the character do end up stopping that when that is is something that could make for a great hook for part 4 with the one of the few decent things in the film being the fact that the film doesn't waste anytime in setting up things for Popeye: Resurrection which is something that is very easily could have dine and is something that alot of two part movies do do with there first part and yet this film dose still come of as being really bad despite the fact that it's not one long trailer or the next film as it's clear as day that due to the fact that all of these films were filmed together that all of the best or hopefully best stuff is going to be in the final film by which point it will be to little to late as no one would have cared enough about the characters to see all of the good stuff as the makers of this film didn't give us a reason to care for there characters in the first place.

For some odd reason this film pretty much stops about half way threw after it's killed off alot of the army characters to introduce to us these new characters. Which does come out of nowhere with alot of there early scenes adding nothing to the film with them being this family that have gone on a camping holiday and that's literally the only thing we find out about them other then the fact that one of them is dating an American girl and it's just weird that the film would replace these decent but not good characters with these new characters that they then have to rush in setting up this wouldn't be an issue if they were appearing in the fourth film but the only one that survives this film isn't even going to be in the next one. This is something that does make there inclusion in this film feel all the more pointless as there early scenes in the film feel like a completely different movie when compared to the rest of the film heck given how the first half act of the film goes it feels more like an ending to Popeye's Revenge then the opening of this film which begs the question why not just put those scenes in that film and get that film up to one hour and thirty minuets and then start this film with a small time jump before then getting into the rest of the film with the family surely that would have been alot more better then cramming in more characters into this film and making this film feel very over stuffed with characters as all this ends up doing is making sure that no one in the audience can like any of the films new characters as they all have to fight for screen time with each other and heck even the films central villain Popeye disappears for a large portion of the film because of the fact that the film now has to set up who these new and quite frankly boring new characters are. 

There is a really painfully obvious reveal in this film that when it first got hinted at and I saw the look of Dylan I knew right away what was going to be happen and sure enough it happens. The film introduces this new injection that the military have been working on to make soldiers stronger called Bluto and the second that it wa brought up in this film and you see the Dylan looks alot like Bluto from Popeye you just know exactly what's going to happen and sure enough in the films third act he injects himself with it and fights Popeye this was such a predictable reveal that it's quite honestly laughable as they do make the actor that plays Dylan look roughly like how we expect Bluto to look with them both having big beards and a hatred of Popeye and therefor when it does happen it's not that shocking as you already knew it was coming with the other plot reveal being one that does actually work even tho it was that you kind of work out when the scene is going on as the film does strongly hint at Dr. Bernard being Popeye and Olive's mother as yes Olive Oyl is meant to be Popeye's sister in these films it was something that they did back in Popeye's Revenge and the character is meant to be showing up in Popeye: Resurrection as they do say that there mother got pregnant with them after being exposed to some chemicals with Dr. Bernard saying that she should have killed Popeye when he was in the womb which does all but confirm that she is his mother and going by Google it does seem as if he did have a mother called Irene but she only appeared in alternative comic book backstories therefor it's not out of the realm of possibility that this version of Popeye also has a mother with that reveal actually being better done then he reveal of Dylan basically transforming himself into Bluto to take on Popeye one on one.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eleven minuets and thirty seconds. Which yeah is never a good sign when the middle part of your trilogy is not even a feature length running time as there is so much story that could have been covered in this film and so much that needed to get done to make the next film work and yet due to how short that both this film and the previous film is none of that leg work can be done with even the next film having a very similar running time to it all of this does hit home the fact that the makers of this film just didn't care enough to make these films as good as they could have because if they did then they would have given the films a longer running time heck even Darbie's Screamhouse is longer then this film is and that film was meant to be bad with this film just barely having more then enough plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. With thus film not even using it's running time all that wisely as the film doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot due to the fact that the film not only barely focuses on it's plot with the film being more bothered about focusing on this new family for literally no reason but the film also barely has a plot to begin with this is something that really could have been fixed if the makers of this film did a re-write of the films terrible script with the makers of this film being more focused on shoving this random family down our throats then they are in giving us a well developed plot. This is something that des also effect the films character development as this is the film where all of the returning characters except for Popeye should have gotten some form of character development and yet none of them do with all of the films characters ending the film in the exact same way that they started the film with the makers of his film being more focused on not giving us alot of Popeye rather then giving its characters some actual character development but I really will admit that this film really does gave some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With us getting to see alot of the kills in this film and while granted none of the kills look all that impressive that is more due to the films tiny budget then anything else with the one thing that lets all of the kills down in this film being the fact that two characters survive getting stabbed in the back by Popeye one of which was stabbed in the back with a harpoon gun this is something that shouldn't have happend as all it does cheapen wat could have been a really good kill all for no reason whatsoever. With the best kill in the whole entire film being the death of Popeye as a fully transformed Dylan takes on Popeye one on one with the pair of them having a pretty decent fight for its budget with all the while Cass and Lindy are trying to escape this empty military compound so that they can tell the military not to bomb them all the while Popeye and Dylan are still fighting each other with neither one really getting the upper with it only being when the fight nears its end that Dylan does finally get the upper hand and crushes Popeye's skill in with some impressive make up being put to good use and while this is a much more funnier kill in the film that kill is only funny due to how bad it is whereas the death of Popeye is just so cool to look at and while it doesn't redeem the film at all it does make the ending more then worth watching with the rest of the films kills being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall whilst this film is nowhere near as bad as Darbie's Screamhouse was this still a really bad film and that the fact that there's one more of these films out does make you wonder how bad that that film is going to be as this is film that close to being bottom of the barrel trash in my freaking opinions anyway / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 0.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as or where I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Freddy Vs. Jason Film Review

The idea of having two characters meet and fight each other is a fanboys dream and it's one that's been happening in a films alot with even the likes of Batman Vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being a thing. Yet it is something that has it routes in horror as horror films where doing this kind of film on a regular basis in the forties and yet it's the film that i'm going to be talking to you all about today that made it popular for the more modern audience and so then join me as I review the film that is the final time that Robert Englund played Freddy Krueger in a film with the film in question being called simply just "Freddy Vs. Jason" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Freddy resurrects Jason and gets him to kill kids on Elm Street it's this small group of friends that end up caught in the middle when Jason can't stop killing and Freddy has to take him on. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films plot not being the best plot that either franchise has had but given the fact that this is meant to be a dumb horror Vs. movie you do kind of expect that especially from both of these franchises that both franchises did have plots that were getting pretty bad at best. To be fair no one is going to be a film called Freddy Vs. Jason expecting the plot to be really good rather your going to it expecting to see the two characters fight each other and that's it therefor you do need to go into this film expecting the plot to be pretty bad this doesn't make it a good thing tho as there really was the potential here to have a really good plot that brought together both of the franchises in a fun and creative way and yet there really is no fun to be fun in this films plot which granted is to be expected but at the same time if your going to give the film the most basic of plots then why not go all out and make it a fun plot that honors both franchises with it feeling like that the films plot is borrowing more from A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors then it any of the Friday The 13th films which is great for the Freddy fans but not great if your a Jason fan and if your doing a Vs movie you need to have a plot that honors both worlds not just one over the other with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger , Ken Kirzinger as Jason Voorhees and Monica Keena as Lori Campbell. Also starring in this film is Kelly Rowland as Kia Waterson , Jason Ritter as Will Rollins , Christopher George Marquette as Charlie Linderman , Lochlyn Munro as Deputy Scott Stubbs , Katharine Isabelle as Gibb Smith , Brendan Fletcher as Mark Davis , Zack Ward as Bobby Davis , Kyle Labine as Bill Freeburg , Chris Gauthier as Shack , David Kopp as Blake , Jesse Hutch as Trey Cooper , Tom Butler as Dr. Campbell , Garry Chalk as Sheriff Williams and Paula Shaw as Pamela Voorhees.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As the film does gave some decent acting in it from the likes of Robert Englund who is still pitch perfect as Freddy Krueger and Monia Keena who is passable in the film but where the acting does dip is with alot of the side characters as Kelly Rowland just isn't that good in the film and while Katharine Isabelle is a horror icon in her own right she's not in this film all that long to really make an impression and show off just what it is that she can do as an actor. With the best actor in the film being Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger with this being something that does make sense as he was the only actor carried over from the franchise with him also being someone who has played Freddy Krueger in every single film with him having a really good understanding of just who Freddy is which is something that really does help his performance in this film as he would know how Freddy would react in any given scene as he's been playing him since the original Nightmare On Elm Street with Robert even having his trademark and wit and charm which does help to make his performance as the character feel more well rounded as it would have been very easy for him to just play the hits and give us nothing more then that but you can tell that he is giving it his all in this film with his own charm really coming through in his performance. With the acting that's in this very film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bd as it gives none of this films characters absolutely anything to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the CGI for this film is Cinesite , Pixel Magic , Digital Dimension Entertainment Group , Asylum VFX , Digiscope and Yannix Technology Corporation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. The films CGI for the time that this film was made in is pretty decent as don't forget horror films in the early 2000's never had any kind of CGI in them and therefor for this film to have CGI in it in the first place is still a bug thing and while yes this films effects aren't that good. This is more due to when the film was made and the fact that it didn't have a huge effects budget and not due to the effects themselves being really bad with the only bad looking effect in the whole film being the CGI blood that disappears in Lori's first nightmare scene and that's basically it and even then that effect isn't that good due to the fact that there are other bigger effects that would have required more of the effects teams attention, when people today judge this film they are judging the effects by the standards that we have to today and that's not fair you have to judge the films effects for how they would have been back when the film was being made and taking that into account the films effects do some as being alot better with the effect on the Freddy Slug being something that does stand out due to the fact that they even added in a shadow for the creature which was something that they really didn't have to do with the thing that hold the effect back being the fact that it's shown in fully bright scenes whereas if it was shown in a more darker scene like the effect with Freddy's shadow then the effects team would have been able to hide alot of the more bad moments on that Freddy Slug effect. 

Whilst this film does take place sometime in between Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday and Jason X as at the end of Jason Goes To Hell we do see Freddy's hand come out and drag Jason's mask to hell. This film is mean to be set in it's own continuity one where the events of both films have happened as we see clips from all of the previous Nightmare films and Jason's mother does appear in the film with Jason even wearing his iconic mask with the only difference being the fact that now Springwood and Camp Crystal Lake are now just a few hours drive away from each other which in all fairness doesn't harm the continuity of both films that much but when you take into account that according to Freddy's Dead there was mean to be no more teenagers near Springwood which according to this film would have included Crystal Lake then it doesn't make sense for them to be as close to each other as they are in this film. This is something that the makers of this film should have payed close attention to as while they rightfully do want to try and respect the lore and legacy of both characters which it could be argued that they do end up doing they do end up ignoring the continuity of the films when it suits them as while Jason X isn't effected as that film is set in the far future both Freddy's Dead and to a lesser extent New Nightmare are effected by it as while New Nightmare is set in the real world Freddy in that movie knows that he's a character in this film the only real hints of that that we do get is when he breaks the fourth wall to talk to the audience and that's it but when it comes to Freddy's Dead that's when the continuity gets messed up as even tho they show how he died in that film they openly say that it's been peaceful in Springwood for four years yet Freddy's Dead came out in and took place in the nineties therefor this is something that doesn't quite add up.

If one was to use wrestling terms on this film then Jason is made out to be the babyface and Freddy Krueger is the heel in what is for sure a heel vs heel fight. As the film does make Jason out to be the more sympathetic of the two despite the fact that he actually kills more people then Freddy in this film and even tho Freddy is the one that brought Jason back to life to kill all of these teens on Elm Street he is still rightfully made out to be the heel of the two despite the fact that Freddy actually take a more proactive role in helping to defeat Jason even helping the teens drug Jason at one point in the film and to be fair this kind of dynamic does work given both characters backstories as when Jason was killed he was just a n innocent little boy who hadn't done anything and was bullied for how he looked and that was it where as Freddy was easily the more evil one due to the fact that he was killing kids well before he was killed by there parents. However it would have made more sense for neither villain to be the babyface and for them both to be the heel as they have both killed alot of people prior to meeting each other and therefor they would of course be quite evil and this is something that would have been if the makers of this film had respected Jason's past and his legacy as much as they do Freddy and while yes i'm a Freddy fan and therefor of course I love the fact that they put alot more of the focus onto him and respected his legacy quite alot i'm also a small Friday The 13th fan and yet there was nothing in this film that showed the makers of this film respected the legacy of those films and those characters because if they did then both characters would have been made to be the heel with the only true babyface's being the teens as it should always be in a horror film.

Speaking of the teens in this film they aren't the best in either franchises long history but much like with the plot and the acting that is something that you kind of expect. As alot of the best characters in both franchises are in the early films and not in the latter ones with there not really being anything in this film that makes the teens in this film stand out and yet we are expected to route for them which doesn't end up happening as there boring The CW teen drama filled scenes aren't that much fun to watch with an yet if you look at the teen from both Nightmare On Elm Street 1 and Friday The 13th Part 2 for example those are characters that you wanted to get to know more about as the makers of those films yes they did just drop us of right in the middle of the action but they also gave us scenes that made us feel something for those characters and made us want t get to know them more and therefor we ended up caring more about them. Yet with with this film we don't have anything like that with the closest thing being the fact that we find out that Will and Lori used to date and that it's which is a great starting off point but all of there scenes together revolve around that one part of them and that makes alot of there scenes together boring to watch and its the same thing with all of the characters as none of them have anything interesting about them with the makers of this film not really giving us the chance to care for them therefor when Lori has her big defiant moment where she vows to see Freddy dead it doesn't mean anything because of the fact that we weren't given a reason to care for her character this is despite that fact that they moment and the moments where she blows up Camp Crystal Lake is a really cool moment in the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty seven minuets and sixteen seconds. To be fair this is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for both of these franchises but at the same time tho this film that really could have been a about ten minuets longer as the film does rush from plot point plot point alot of the time with there being no room for the films plot to breathe with this being something that alot of the other films on both franchises would do as while yes they would take the time to have lots of kills but inbetween those moments the plots of of those films would be allowed to breathe to little thus allowing for tension to be built up all over again with this film having mor then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time. With this film not really using its running time all that wisely as the film as the film really doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot with this being due to the fact that the film is rushing towards either the next kill or to get to the end as the films pacing is that fast which does little for things to be added to the films plot plot that make it feel more well thought and developed like for example the film does start something with Jason being afraid of water which if you were just watching this film and nothing more would make sense but when you take the other Friday The 13th films into account alot of which do involved Jason killing someone near the lake that one little detail now makes no sense and it they there was time devoted to explaining that away then may be it could have worked but the makers of this film were more focused in making sure that they go as many nudge to previous Nightmare On Elm Street films as they could we ended up with a poorly developed plot. This is something that does also effect the films character development as none of the films characters get any kind of development in this film with even a character like Nancy in the first Nightmare movie getting some small amount of character development as she does learn how to defend herself and becomes a more stronger character because of it yet here in this film none of it's characters can get that due to the fact that the makers of this film have to rush the film along but I really will admit that this film really does have some really bad pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a  slasher that really does mean that I gave to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in tis very film well then in all honesty i in all honesty personally thought / felt tat the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in tis very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the kills for the teens perhaps being the more weaker part of it as alot of there kills do happen of screen this is despite the fact that the film was given an American R rating and yet alot of there deaths barring only a very small handful are all of screen deaths with this being something that you never want to be the case in a slasher as you always want to see the kill happen on screen and when we do get an on screen kill it is an effective kill which does show you that the makers of this film do know how to give us a good kill. With the best kill in this film whole entire being the deaths of both Jason and Freddy as it is the main reason for anyone to go and watch this film and may god does the fight live up to the build as the fight basically happens in two stages the first of which is the Nightmare world where Freddy tortures and beats the heck out of Jason and yet the second half of the fight takes place in the real world with Freddy still getting the upper hand at times but now due to it being in the real world and not the nightmare world Jason is able to get a the upperhand with it only being when the fights reaches the lake that both character start getting more up close and personal with Freddy taking out Jason's eyes and fingers with his glove and Jason ripping Freddy's gloved with the whole thing coming to and end when a tired and near death Jason uses Freddy's arm against and Lori chops of Freddy's head with Jason's machete with alot of the films kills being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst this film does live up to it's name and gives you exactly what it promises Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees fighting each other the film is just so of the time as it's not that much fun of a film to watch due t the badly done teen characters and yet when the film does focus of either Freddy or Jason that's when you get to see just how much fun that this film really should have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well a all of the bad things that are in this every film in this very review and a such that really dos mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for were I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally for all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , Amazon . Co . Ul , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
