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.

The Vern reviews Her Private Hell (2026)

 

On this bonus episode.  The Vern gives his quick thoughts on Nicolas Winding Refn's (The Neon Demon, Drive) latest opus, Her Private Hell.   This movie has been getting a lot of diverse opinions by critics but when it come to art. Having different opinions is a good thing.
