“Psycho Goreman” (also known as “PG: Psycho Goreman”) is a crazy but fun movie that feels like “Toxic Avenger”, “Wishmaster” and “Power Rangers” all rolled into one. It’s a low-budget movie that knows exactly who its audience is and will definitely entertain them.
An evil alien entity (Matthew Ninaber) arrives on Earth to cause chaos. However, the mystical gem that gives him his power falls into the hands of rowdy and narcissistic 10-year-old Mimi (Nita-Josee Hanna). She names him ‘Psycho Goreman’ and she’s going to have some fun controlling a powerful alien. However, other aliens soon arrive on Earth and they want to destroy Mimi’s new playmate.
Nita-Josee Hanna is great as Mimi. It shows how good the writing is when a little girl manages to often steal the spotlight from an evil alien that looks like a cross between Wishmaster and Ivan Ooze from “Power Rangers”. Psycho Goreman is a lot of fun and it’s so hilarious watching him getting bossed around by Mimi. The special effects for Psycho Goreman look terrific. The other aliens in the movie also look great. There is a scene where several sit at a conference table and they all look so different; it reminded me a little of the cantina sequence in “Star Wars”.
“Psycho Goreman” knows it’s not a Marvel superhero movie with a colossal budget but it looks great in a stylish and cheesy way. Despite a lot of it feeling like a kids’ movie, it’s definitely not aimed at kids as we see people get violently killed and faces melted off with blood and guts everywhere. There is one brief scene in this movie I disliked and that’s when Mimi breaks a crucifix. It adds nothing to the movie and just seems to be anti-Christian for the sake of it. Aside from that, I had a lot of fun with this movie.
