Masterful Movie
Let's be realistic.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
I started this movie assuming it would be yet another in Amazon Prime which I can not tolerate after three to five minutes. Instead I was immediately hooked and absolutely loved it. The writing was very witty and clever, as were all the sight-gags. Excellent direction as well - enhancing the success of the sight gags. All the actors played their roles perfectly. Was it silly? Yes, but so is the Scary Movie franchise. Silly can be bad or be very good, as Bubba is. Highly recommend, especially to those like me, raised in the rural South, and anyone else for that matter. Kudos to all the cast and crew. You made me laugh out loud more than once and that is not something I do often.
I knew this wasn't a top notch film production, and that's alright. I watch these types of movies all the time. That being said the premise of the story was great, however, *LAST CHANCE SPOILER ALERT* I knew it was going to go down hill when the protagonist's goal was achieved very early in the movie. Because of this, there was nowhere really else to go other than the protagonist saving the day in ways that were a bit drawn out, thereby losing their point in the process.It was good for a few laughs. Good to see once.
This is a wonderfully campy horror comedy movie based on the comic book, "Bubba The Redneck Werewolf", created by Mitch Hyman. The movie was a long intense labour of love from everyone who was involved in it. That being said, this a fun silly movie that will become a cult movie classic for those who enjoy to knock back a beer, or three, or ten, as they enjoy watching movies where nothing is sacred and no one is safe from satire as the jokes fly just as much as ripped off limbs and spewing blood. The best thing about this movie is that it is written AND directed by the Mitch Hyman, the creator of the comic book, who also does a great job of stealing the show with his own acting as he portrays the devil himself, so it is definitely true to the original material! But if you just want a great funny, bloody movie to watch with lots of terrific one liners, then this is the one for you!
A big shout out to a special first screening at Spooky Empire's Ultimate Halloween Weekend for letting this dog off the chain and into our little black hearts.Bubba Blanche (Fred Lass) is a small town, backwoods Floridian who works at the local dog pound when he isn't drinking his sorrows away or worrying about his hair falling out. With a big heart and a small brain, he's lost the love of his life; all Bobby Jo (Malone Thomas) wants is for Bubba to defend her honor and stand up for himself. Careless words summon Old Scratch (Mitch Hyman) to offer Bubba everything his heart desires, but Bubba will have to use his newfound power to save the simple folks of Cracker County and send the Devil packing assuming Bubba doesn't get distracted by anything or everything else first.In the twenty years since "Bubba the Redneck Werewolf" first appeared in comics, opportunities to make theatrical and televised versions have come and gone. Where the studios have failed, the creator and a handful of industry folks found the time to realize the character concept and make something special. Maybe it was fate that independent filmmaking tools have caught up to studio-level technology in the time Bubba has languished, and the results are dead solid perfect. Horror, humor, and hubris make this wing-eating, cigar-chomping, whiskey-swigging werewolf the hero we all deserve; even Bubba's theme song is unashamedly addictive. Seeing this production come together in small teases online was fun, but watching the finished film shown for the first time anywhere felt very special indeed.Boasting a makeup design intended to allow Bubba to be the first cinematic werewolf that can actually smile while he's killing, the production entertains with a clever combination of both practical and computer-generated effects. Clever details and some good-natured ribbing toward small town life that many of us grew up with manage to keep the story moving along. Every conceivable angle is played up, from Bubba first seeing himself in a bathroom mirror to watching the townsfolk being deviled by, well, the Devil! Think Saturday morning cartoons – the really violent ones before networks decided kids couldn't figure out the difference – along with a few strategically placed f-bombs and you're on the right track. This is one of those films like the original Evil Dead which just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for the love of the material and a well-spent micro-budget forcing maverick filmmakers be as creative as they are passionate.The Devil is literally in the details. Bubba's creator Mitch Hyman plays the horned antagonist himself, lured to Cracker County by a well-meaning but otherwise idiot yocal foolish enough to sell his soul to get his high school sweetheart back. Hey, hasn't everyone done the wrong the thing for the right reason at one time or another? Okay, well, maybe not but after you meet Bobby Jo, at least you'll understand where Bubba has his head at (wink wink, nudge nudge). With the film in the can, the big question is: how can they get it in front of the disembodied eyeballs it deserves? Here's hoping this review will go a long way toward doing exactly that.
