I wanted to like this movie, I really did, the main character, Psycho Goreman is fun and with good one liners and really agressive, but the human characters are written terrible. There isn't a likeable human, Mimi is the kid you want to kick, her brother is a weak boy, her family is a mess, with a very weak father figure. There is this theme where women are powerful and men are really weak in this movie, all except PG and he is the bad guy. I would have liked more humor, more humor from gore and for the humans to be more likeable. Why is Mimi so mean to everyone in a unlikeable way? When she prays to God and asks Him what sunglasses to wear because she already knows everything and then she break a cross on her knee... why? It leaves the impression that everyone learns some lessons from this experience, but I really don't see it and I don't see how PG could learn things about love from this family. That's a big no for me.

It takes a lot of talent to blend gore, cheese, and heart. Psycho Goreman manages it in spades. A love letter to 80s horror-scifi, it is hilarious, bloody, and darkly sweet. The most fun you'll have watching a movie this year.
