Review of Don't Kill It (2016) by Giorgos K — 03 Apr 2017
They don't make them like this any more.
A great experience if like me you are bored with PG-13 jump scare bloodless movies and remember such wonders as Peter Jackson's early works Bad Taste and Braindead in the late 80s and early 90s.
This film is in a similar vein with a very simple plot allowing for a full on splatterfest with Dolph Lundgren's character wisecracking his way through the bloodbath.
It's awesome to see Lundgren leading a film again and he's a great fit for this kind of B-movie. Other actors would be unable to play it straight without winking at the audience but he keeps in character allowing Kristina Klebe to shine as the straight man.
But you don't watch a film like this for the plot. The dark humour and surprisingly competent special effects were enough for me. It's no cinematic masterpiece but I haven't enjoyed a horror movie as much as this in years. Sequel when?
