Review of Death Kappa (2010) by Joe A — 04 May 2011
The big problem here is that this flick tries to pay homage to so many different types of Japanese sci-fi and fantasy movies that it bites off more then it can chew and just becomes a silly and practically incoherent blend of goofball nonsense.
At the very least the film could have been a nostalgic tribute to Japanese genre flicks had it, like the films it tries to honor, taken itself seriously and let the campy charm flow naturally. But the makers treat it all with goofy humor as if they are trying to pay homage and yet mock their subject matter at the same time.
All that results is a dull and noisy mess that only serves to insult the films it set out to pay homage to.
