Excellent but underrated film
... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreFull Moon Features has put out some solid stuff over the years honestly. The Puppet Master films are classics, Intruder is good, Demonic Toys is fun yet bad so are the first few Evil Bong and Gingerdead Films and to an extent Charles has made some really great low budget horror over the years. After watching his effort from 2014 Trophy Heads I thought it was a step in the right direction and I really hoped that it would mark the return to form for Full Moon. This hope was shattered once I watched Evil Bong 420, which while it was horrible it had its moments (although the Gingerdead Man is more common than the titular villain). I expected High 5 to have its moments just like 420 did. Sadly there was nothing redeeming about High 5. Then I catch wind that not only is Evil Bong 6, oh excuse me I mean 666, in the works but that Charles Band is planning on making 20 Evil Bong Films. This has officially made me lose all remaining hope I had for Charles and for Full Moon (Note there wasn't much hope remaining anyway). So because I hate myself I sit down and watch Evil Bong 666 (clever title guys, really). Upon sitting down and watching it what do I find? A movie that is worse than High 5 but for one simple reason. While High 5 was in all honesty one of the worst movies I've ever seen, it made me feel something it gave me a lot to talk about in terms of how terrible it was. 666 on the other hand isn't so bad its infuriating, its so bad its boring. So here we are now, again, with Evil Bong 7 (on I mean 777, funny gambling joke guys) and again, not surprisingly at all this series continues to bore, irritate and make me want to die. The terrible weed jokes never end and even to a stoner they aren't funny in the slightest. Rabbit is the only character that has remained in the series and I honestly miss the stoners from the first Evil Bong movie. Ebee is there but she isn't really an antagonist anymore, there is nothing going on and nothing to laugh at even in a so bad its good way. The Gingerweed Man is here too but he is just so boring at least the original Gingerdead man had some personality and a few decent puns but this new guy is boring. The attempt to crossover with Killjoy continues to confuse and just annoy me. The acting is awful and its not like I need good acting to enjoy a movie I don't but I gotta mention it. The script is so unfunny it will fail to even make the most stoned of potheads laugh. The cast is all horrible, even if they all seem like they had fun with the film. The puppetry is bad and so are all of the practical and computer generated effects. Its consistently boring and just not really worth anyone's time even the biggest bad movie fan or stoner comedy junkie. The only even half decent moment in the film is a scene early on with a horrific life size Elvis Marionette and even that scene is some short lived weird erotic nightmare fuel. I found myself audibly groaning at how cringe inducing and beyond mediocre the film was, not even the nudity (It has less than the last one in the series) was appealing. To top it off, just like the last couple entries in the series the film ends right when any normal film, even with a budget this low, would be reaching its highest point of conflict so the conflict is dead on arrival. Easily one of the worst in the series, tied with Evil Bong 666. Quite possibly the worst horror comedy I have seen in a while. For the love of god please stay away from this.
... View MoreThe very fact that Evil Bong has made it to seven movies (8 if you include Evil Bong vs Gingerdead Man) is outstanding. But remember the abysmal Witchcraft franchise lasted to 16 films and never made a single good one.Evil Bong hasn't either truth be told, but for the most part they've been just about watchable however dumb they may be.And dumb they are. To clarify this tells the story of our heroes including an elderly pervert, a hippie girl, a clown, an evil bong and a minature man made of marijuana manage to escape sexy hell but are now on the run for their lives from the evil Lucy Furr.The jokes mostly miss but there are a few passable ones in there, it all looks pretty terrible but has that Full Moon charm about it and it only has a one hour runtime.Part of me hopes that this is the final film, not because they're that bad but because I'd rather Evil Bong didn't go down in the annuls of history as an embarassment that didn't know when to die.777 isn't the worst, it isn't the best but is certainly for an aquired taste and this guys "Taste" is very much tired of the franchise.The Good:Consistent with cast/charactersLots of references/props from other Full Moon stuffThe Bad:Mindy RobinsonGoing a bit overboard with the T&A now Things I Learnt From This Movie:Las Vegas shows have gone downhillIf nipples are covered it doesn't count as toplessFull Moon must have a working partnership with someone in the porn industry
