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.

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

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 10, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 12, 2022

Its low budget definitely shows, but it is possessed of a gleeful, sick, gore-loving energy that is infectious and delightful. A horror comedy classic.

An 80s throwback that asks the question, "What if E.T. starred Pinhead?", Psycho Goreman is a bonkers horror comedy that lovingly sends up the cheapo genre flicks of the era.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 23, 2021

If you imagine a riff on E.T. but with the kindly alien botanist swapped out for a bloodthirsty intergalactic warlord who'd look right at home in a GWAR music video, you're on the right track here.

An instant cult classic, Psycho Goreman is kitschy sci-fi horror that defies easy definition.

| Original Score: 3.5 / 5 | Jun 26, 2021

The [film] reads as an excuse to show off the effects team's prowess at making monsters that look like Power Rangers villains.

| Jun 5, 2021

Take one extremely cool monster, add a dash of nostalgic humor and creepy fun, sprinkle it with some really fun characters, and mix well in a bucket of gore and practical effects, and you've got a recipe for a real horror treat!

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 26, 2021

Psycho Goreman is a riot of outlandish humour, brilliant practical effects and plenty of frigging gore from start to finish

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 25, 2021

It's an instant classic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 20, 2021

Psycho Goreman is a perfect confluence of gore and laughs that will seep into audience's brains and never let go.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | May 20, 2021

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 20, 2021

Glorious, splattery, stupid, funny, ridiculous, kind of awful and completely joyous. Not about to change the world, but a delightfully fun way to while away 90 minutes of smart, gore-soaked schlock.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 20, 2021

A tongue in cheek horror movie that is over the top and ridiculous without being off putting and annoying. Great characters and nostalgia make for a fun time.

| May 18, 2021

It would be wrong to use the word wholesome, but it really is fun for all the family, in its own sick little way.

| Original Score: 3 | May 17, 2021

[I]t's crazy, campy, schlocky and incredibly gory. It's The Toxic Avenger by way of Power Rangers, and it knows how to make the most of its absurdist premise for an entertaining lo-fi romp.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 17, 2021

With make-up and FX that are out of this galaxy, Psycho Goreman is a gleefully gory gem that adds a very adult spin on children's fantasy films of the late eighties and early nineties.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 17, 2021

It's all very gory and silly and fun, like a sardonic yet affectionate mockery of Harry and the Hendersons

| Apr 19, 2021

It knows what it is attempting to do, and it does not deviate from that goal. What is more, it achieves it with a pitch-perfect execution.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 18, 2021
