Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com While there’s a great mystery concerning who these movies are for, the reality is blunt: we now have two Popeye slasher films in circulation, and they both stink. Rated: D Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz It’s hokey, it’s goofy, but darn-it, he is what he is. Rated: 6/10 Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Khaliel P We’ve seen plenty of characters fall into the public domain only to be instantly turned into killers. Yet Popeye hasn’t shared the same fate as the Twisted Childhood Universe or the recent Screamboat: badly acted, poorly written, and clumsily directed (the full package), it’s never serious nor funny. Add to that bargain-bin gore effects (with the orangest fake blood I’ve ever seen) and failed jump scares across the board. Popeye the Slayer Man has nothing to save it, and this sailor is going down with his ship—a film best forgotten. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Denzel L 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 popeye movie. Popeye not bad.this movie popeye killer 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Jayden B the movie is so bad the acting is terrible it’s like the director got random people off the street with 0 acting skills and threw a script in their hands and told them to read it as is i DO NOT recommend Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review JACK J Creepy and without storyline, popeye is a bad guy? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Isaac H Come on it was ok at best! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review David S I've watched both Popeye's Revenge and this one and both are horrendous. Why can't writers/film producers/directors, just get a story where Popeye is a scorned sailor man lost at sea presumed dead and Olive Oyl his one true love moves on with Bluto, years later. After Olive pops some kids out, and dies say of natural causes (but it turns out it wasn't) Popeye 'POPS' back up not dead and finds out she's dead at the hands of her husband Bluto, so takes revenge against him and anyone that stands in his way - including Olive's children and the townsfolk. Where Bluto is the final boss. It's a simple story. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
