Bring on the Damned (2024) Written Review

 

Bring on the Damned

Writer and Director: Brandon Bassham

****and 1/2 Stars out of Five.

 

Forget your A24 or your Neon, even Mubi can’t hold a candle to the true masters of independent cinema, Troma.  For over 50 years.  Troma has been releasing small budgeted cult classics like The Toxic Avenger and Frankenhooker.  This latest feature from director Brandon Bassham(Fear Town USA, & The Slashening) continues this trend with Bring on the Damned.  A brilliant horror comedy anthology that explores many different film genres.  From film noir to 70’s American Giallo to even French new wave.  This movie has it all.

In 2015, Well maybe not that late because I'm pretty sure I saw this film  later than that.  Wait. Let me take a look.  Holy shit balls, it was 2015.  That doesn't feel that long ago, damn.  Anyways as I was saying.

In 2015, I got sent a link for a new horror comedy called The Slashening and it was a very fun movie that explored a lot of the usual tropes found in slasher classics.  It was about a group of girls having a party, that gets interrupted by a psycho wearing a mask.   Yes, I know that it sounds like every other movie and I agree with that.  However, It belongs on the same list for other great meta horror movies like Cabin in The Woods, Scream and Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.  You can read my thoughts on that flick by visiting my old site below.
