Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Late at night, looking for something to watch and came across this because I like Henry Rollins. 10 minutes into the movie and I am wondering if this is the worst movie ever. Then as it continues, I realize that this is not a bad movie, this is a movie made exactly like it was intended. A little bit campy, defiantly different, dry humor, and wonderful. If you prepare yourself before watching it, I think it could earn 10/10. This movie was a hidden gem that I thoroughly enjoyed once I realized the directors vision. If you are wanting a JJ Abrams light show, this is not for you. If you want a brilliant movie with perfect amounts of quirkiness and even a few one-liners (a vagina is a coupon for alcohol), then this is the movie for you.

Absolutely stunned by this movie that did not see the wide release it should have. The production value is a little low, as one can tell by the small cast, the shooting locations and the relatively unknown studio and producer. And that's about the only bad thing about this movie. Henry Rolling carries the whole movie with a deadpan version of his character, every conversation with him is a new treat. The supporting characters were well done, not overly sensational but it doesn't matter because Jack is back on the screen and scowling at someone. Even a simple "okay" delivered by Rollins is a reason to turn this movie on (it is on Netflix right now if I'm not mistaken). Honestly, invest the 90 minutes it takes for this movie to wrap up, and you'll wish the promised sequel or TV series will actually take off.

I came across this film by accident, as a friend was watching it. Not being a horror fan, of course I am not going to like this film. But while horror fans, may rate this film according to what they like or dislike in horror, I am going to use this opportunity to rant a little about why most horror sucks. When I watch movies, I like story, character, excitement, beauty, inspiration, insight, and of course most horror has none of this. The Omen & The Exorcist being such landmark movies, get my agreement, but generally I find horror to be such a negative, scary, yucky experience. Why do people put themselves through this process? If they have little reaction to fear, then the film does not affect them I guess, and if they do, then this kind of film affects their mental & physical well-being. So it is for some like an addiction that they keep feeding, harming themselves, rather than turning it off. I do like suspense and exciting stuff like Bourne or Alien, but all this focus on dangerous people hurting each other, zombie movies relentlessly being created and all this satanic obsession, seems to me, to be putting people in situations to not trust, to see a threat at every corner, and to threaten ourselves with all kinds of creepy forces beyond our control. Many people are into all that, but I see a lot of it as popular culture, with an addictive nature, and the outcome of so much fear based religion. This film is the kind that I watch in 10 minutes. Once I understood that the goal was to create violent grotesque situations, I decide to skip through it in 2-5 minute sections just to see if anything changes. Of course, it was very formulaic. So my review is not about this film specifically, but more about these violent negative films that seem to be another reflection of a world still teeming with many who have a fear- attraction to violence & harm, just like many highlights on the news! If you want your life to be more uplifting, skip on the horror, and free up your life for more enjoyable beautiful focuses. And if you like freaking yourself out, then please enjoy :-)

He never died (2015) directed by Jason Krawcyk is a film about a jaded and moody man named Jack (played wonderfully by Henry Rollins), a social outcast, he's thrust out of his comfort zone when the outside world bangs on his door and he can't contain his violent past. I will start off by saying that this film is crazy. very unpredictable in the sense that we never know what tonal shift the film will take in each scene. sometimes the tone shifts several times during one singular scene. it does so with such ease that I can't see how it wouldn't impress even the most harsh critic. one moment it's subtle and quirky dark comedy, the next it's brutal violence, and then the next scene can be heart warming and serious. the script is written with such brilliance it's overwhelming. while not the most complex story with intricately structured sub plots, it never disappoints. but in truth everything good about the film rides on Rollin's shoulders, and does he ever carry the movie to the heights of excellence. this is truly the role that Rollins was born to play and it certainly shows with every single scene he's in. the way he brings new life to a character that has been done time and time again is wonderful. this is all topped of by some great gore effects and some good acting from Rollins's supporting characters.I will say, there was definitely some opportunity to dive deeper into Rollins's character and his story and deepen the over all narrative. I would have enjoyed that, and I'm sure many others would have as well. also the pacing could have been a little better. some sections seemed to drag on a little too long and bogged down the pace at which the story was initially being told. it's hard to really find very many flaws with the film. perhaps a more horrifying angle could've been explored with regards to the revelation of Rollins's cannibalism. we pretty well knew it was to be revealed and I felt it would have been better off being more of a surprise rather than something we saw coming. so really the only let downs with the film were the wasted potential to exploit more of a horrific approach to Rollins's character, some minor pacing issues, and to deepen the story. regardless, a fine film in nearly every regard.the verdict: 8.5/10
