Review of Adam Chaplin (2011) by Greg T — 26 Mar 2012
ADAM CHAPLIN has been sold as the "bloodiest movie" ever, and the signs were good - a manga-influenced splatter-fest in the vein of THE CROW and RIKI-OH, with a plot fuelled by supernaturally-influenced revenge & promising new levels of action horror.
Sadly, as is so often the case, the promise turns out to be a big fat lie. ADAM CHAPLIN is garbage. And not even so-gory-and-crazy-it's-fun garbage. Just raw, untreated, 100% foetid sewage garbage.
The lame (though gory) special effects wouldn't be so offensive if the film didn't seem to take place almost entirely in a dark corridor. But it does. And the dull, plodding and nonsensical story wouldn't be so offensive if at least the action wasn't dull and mind-numbing.
Which it is. Don't be fooled by the self-generated hype, there is no reason to see this movie. But if you really must, you can have my copy...
