Nic Cage does a decent Bela Lugosi. He hams it up in that singular Nic Cage way and that works. I didn’t know the lead actor but he reminded me of Ash in Evil Dead. He gains superhero powers when he eats bugs. Shohreh Aghdashloo is the drug gang queenpin and she nails that with her voice alone. Awkwarina is the action hero, which is something you just have to buy into. She’s got some funny lines but is somewhat distracting because she always plays herself. This is an over the top campy splatterfest, a ridiculous exponent is sanguinity with exploding heads, gratuitous dismemberment, and one x-ray shot of someone getting kicked so hard that his entire spine shatters and he spits and shits geyser blood sprays from both orifices (if that does sell this, it’s probably not for you).
I was entertained and enjoyed the superhero fight choreo. Plus Nic vamping it up was amusing. But it’s only for fans of ultravi with a sense of bloody humor. Unless you fall into said category, not D00M recommended beyond that:
