Mutant Blast (2018)
8/10
Good B-film
27 January 2022
I was looking for "so bad it's good" films for Jason Brant, and stumbled upon this strange european film.

Breaking the language-limitation (fortunately they provided subtitles) this was way above the '70s cartoon-world of Troma. I'm not sure what they provided for the film aside 2 cameos, felt more like something they more distributed than produced.

The story is, yes, a bit disjointed, but it works out well as a kind of road-movie eg. Planet Terror, providing various obstacles instead of a single Monster of the Movie. It also provides plenty of gore. Nothing extremely spectacular, but the sanitised world of Hollywood really could use some advice from these guys.

The events are also weird, in a funny way, and the characters don't lack chemistry. Or charisma for that matter, yes, Lobster Lad was magnificient providing Birdemic-like environmentalist monologue while stitching wounds. There's also plenty of action.

This is a plain and simple film. There is no big agenda behind it, it just wants to entertain you, provide half an hour sheer escapism. It succeeded for me.
