You don't need to know anything about Henry Rollins to appreciate his tongue-noticeably-in-cheek action hero performance in horror/superhero genre hybrid "He Never Died."

Rated: 3/4

"He Never Died" isn't as fleshed out as it could be, but what the film lacks in vivid supporting characters and rich plotting it gets back from Rollins, whose innate charisma carries the film.

Seattle Times

In addition to his large head, Rollins, actor, writer and former frontman for the punk band Black Flag, brings a fine deadpan manner to his performance in "He Never Died."

Rated: 3/4

Dave Golder

Radio Times

Vivid support characters and droll dialogue provide some genuinely touching and human moments among the gore, and on one level, He Never Died works as quite a sweet, if deeply weird, love story.

Rated: 4/5

NME (New Musical Express)

It's an inspired, gruesome, violently funny and, at times, truly touching take on the subgenre.

It's a really interesting concept, it has great production value and he's a pretty kick-ass character so it's a good combination.

Henry Rollins was made to play Jack, the supernatural, hero type. His dry delivery works so well. I've gone back to this film a few times over the years.

I don't regret watching this movie, and I almost feel like I would like to watch it again, but not soon, now that I've seen the ending. An interesting idea and and interesting character, with great supporting case. Rollins shines. You really feel that he's not acting, he's just playing himself. I've seen him in other roles and in real life, so I know that's not true. That's what a good actor he is. Watch this movie! If you don't like it after 30 minutes or so, stop. It doesn't get any better.

A vampire film that approaches the problem of immortality in an insightful, incisive, and hilarious way. No - living forever is not fun. It's ultimately boring and will drive you insane. I laughed myself silly throughout this dark comedy.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
