Review of Hobo with a Shotgun (2011) by Aslyn E — 18 Dec 2012
Decent grindhouse style movie about a tramp that goes around cleaning up a scum ridden US town with a boomstick. Its very violent and features a pretty disturbing death scene with a schoolbus full of kids which does seem a bit excessive.
The budget gore set up has been done better elsewhere (Planet Terror, Machete) and the simple premise just leaves you watching the kills. It also doesn't really get going until he gets the shotgun but once he does its great stuff.
I will say though I wasn't a big fan of the final act. A bit too silly, even considering the rest of the film. Some good one liners though like " welcome to fuck town!" and "Santas gonna cum down your chimney and leave you a gift".
