Not be confused with <I><A HREF="https://boxd.it/RB0M">Popeye's Revenge</A></i>, which a few publications recently mistook for <B>this</b> film, Popeye is another character whose IP expired and became free game. So, why turn a beloved childhood cartoon into a menace to society? Why not.
At first, I laughed at the concept of <I>Popeye the Slayer Man</i> based off it's initial teaser trailer. It looked cheesy, rushed, and full of bad acting (yet I still wanted to watch it). That's not really the case here, and I suggest not watching those trailers if given the opportunity.
Like most horror films, it's filled with characters who make a number of poor choices, such as running into an abandoned spinach factory that's known to harbor the titular character. I think we should highlight the creative story about how he worked at the factory, which was shut down due to contaminated spinach, which he eats and evolves into a monster. It plays off the cartoon's ideology while giving it the horror twist we need. Sure, it was terrible at times, but, overall, it's exactly what you expect and ultimately delivers in the end.
