Director: Macon Blair

★★★★★ "A lovingly crafted, extremely niche, surprisingly expensive-looking cult comedy with a totally killer gag-rate — the best possible new big screen outing for one of the weirdest and most nonsensical characters around." HEYUGUYS

★★★★ "Blair smartly keeps true to the original film’s spirit and has crafted a fun horror that never takes itself too seriously." FILM STORIES

★★★★ "Writer/director Macon Blair leavens the practical splatter FX with dollops of droll, deadpan humour, sending up the modern superhero genre with hilarious elan. The result is gruesomely terrific fun." RADIO TIMES

★★★★ "Dinklage is spectacular in the lead, giving warmth and charisma to an otherwise hideous-looking character." MOVIES AND MUNCHIES
