Siblings Mimi and Luke unwittingly resurrect an ancient alien overlord who was entombed on Earth millions of years ago after a failed attempt to destroy the universe. They nickname the evil creature Psycho Goreman (or PG for short) and use the magical amulet they discovered to force him to obey their childish whims. It isn't long before PG's reappearance draws the attention of intergalactic friends and foes from across the cosmos and a rogues' gallery of alien combatants converges in small-town suburbia to battle for the fate of the galaxy.

Critics Consensus

Over the top and enthusiastically strange, PG: Psycho Goreman delivers all the cheesy midnight-movie goodness promised by its title.

It helps that Hanna, Ninaber and the rest of the cast have acute comic timing and know how to sell the material.

"Psycho Goreman" is a hilarious gut-buster in every sense of the term.

Psycho Goreman isn't clever or lively enough to be more than fitfully fun, especially given how much time is spent mocking generic, but painstakingly recreated plot contrivances

Rated: 1.5/4

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

It mocks many of the classic 1980s psychotronic B-movie tropes—exaggerated characters, extra splattery and creative kill scenes, and plot holes for days—but it's all coming from a place of love for the genre and delivered with a knowing wink.

Tilt Magazine

Oozing with affection, few films manage the dizzying balance of over-the-top gore and childlike exuberance like this.

Rated: 3.5/5

Deep Focus Review

It's an absurdist oddity: a ghastly movie with costumed monsters and excessive slapstick gore, yet it resists the abrasive edge of a Troma production and feels abnormally silly.

Rated: 3.5/4

This was like power rangers/GWAR crazy with super awesome gore. Felt like "Deathgasm". Good movie, loads of fun.

If you can shut your brain off for 90 minutes and like cheap gore, you may find enjoyment here. However, if you can't, you will probably be pulling your hair out 20 minutes into the film. Low quality costumes, cheesy to flatly stupid writing, characters whose personalities seem to drastically change half way through the film, and a lead that is wholly unlikeable after the first ten minutes. Watch it for the sheer camp value if you like that sort of thing, but avoid at all costs if you don't.

If you're the generation that grew up with Power Rangers and you're a bit demented, you're gonna love this!! Don't expect any morals and ethics, this is just good old-fashioned 80s/90's style camp horror. It showcases all the death scenes I long for growing up with P.R as a grown adult now. There's some moments you're just so disgusted with the special effects, and then you're just rip roaring laughing. Did I mention it includes an original 80's hair metal song? Just watch the dang movie, it's not meant to be deep.

Overall, suppose you're seeking a horror film that's highly brainless, witty and packed with fun levels of creativity in the story, costumes and violence. In that case, Psycho Goreman will deliver some wild entertainment on your big screen. Thanks to many aspects, the film also delivers a fun retro vibe through the instrumental rock soundtrack and a story that left me wanting to see more, especially regarding the leading monster Psycho Goreman. Any issues I have with this film are generally minor and quite forgiving. Having seen the film several times now, I enjoy its level of dark comedy more and more with each rewatch and find myself admiring all that is on display, including the huge effort that has gone into it and the cleverness.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
