10 Hidden Comedy Horror Movie Gems Of The Last Decade
10. PG: Psycho Goreman (2020)
The best way to describe writer-director Steven Kotanski's (The Void) PG: Psycho Goreman is Power Rangers meets The Toxic Avenger. It's super campy, gory, silly, and a whole lot of fun.
The premise sees bratty girl Mimi (Nita-Josee Hanna) and her nerdy brother Luke (Owen Myre) uncover a mysterious amulet buried in their garden. Unbeknownst to them, they've awakened an all-power being of pure evil whose sole purpose is to destroy the galaxy.
That creature is Psycho Goreman - or PG for short. He's an unstoppable force of darkness who can devour his enemies whole and explode innocent bystanders into puddles of gore. And he's under the complete control of the children thanks to the amulet in their possession.
Most of the schlocky fun of PG comes from watching the relationship between the self-described Archduke of Nightmares and his child captors evolve into a blossoming friendship where the murderous monster is viewed as a quirky alien sidekick. It's utterly ridiculous, and this flick knows exactly how to make the most out of its lo-fi premise.
Throw in some wickedly creative monster designs that would feel at home as Power Rangers villains alongside gnarly gore effects, and you have one strange movie experience.
