Just saw this and... damn. Not just one of my favourite movies this year, but one of my favourite movies ever (on a budget of about $1, 000, 000). Henry Rollins is ridiculously badass but more than that - he is riveting to watch. I don't know if the role was written for him (he was one of the producers) or if he was just born to play this role, but from now on I'll never hear his name again without thinking of him in He Never Died.
Caught it myself over the long weekend, I enjoyed it. Low budget horror was my thing back when I was a kid and well into my mid-twenties; this brought me back. Though this was Horror/Comedy, like ED2.
Some studio is shopping around the idea of turning this into a TV series, hoping it both gets picked up and picked up by premium channel like Max or Stars or even Nefflix, as it needs to remain R rated.
I watched this the other night. I kind of wanted it to be a little more interesting plot-wise, but the premise is intriguing, kind of a dark biblical comicbook character like Constantine. Henry Rollins was awesome, but I'm not sure anyone who doesn't really know who he is would really enjoy this. The plot is weak, which unfortunately kind of killed it for me, but yeah, it definitely has good performances and some dark humor.
Did anyone here ever see The Man From Earth (2007)? If you haven't you should. Great watch. This movie has an element of it.
I have; rather enjoyed it a lot. Was low production value to the point it felt like a cheaper made for TV flick, but the story and dialogue was entertaining/interesting.
Yeah, it did seem made-for-tv, but I don't think you'd find anything quite that against-the-grain as far as religion goes on network television.. heh.
Now that would rock. Stars should do it, I bet a lot of us Ash vs Evil Dead fans would appreciate it. I think this might actually work better as a TV show. Little 30 minute blocks would be better at sustaining the modern attention span. The plot for the movie was a bit too thin and even at 1 hour and 30 min it felt much too long to me.
