PSYCHO GOREMAN is a ‘gonzo absurdist intergalactic sci-fi horror comedy’ written and directed by Steven Kostanski. The interactions between Goreman and the bratty young girl Mimi (Nita-Josee Hanna) are exquisite and overall it makes for a great B-movie experience with the comic performances knocking it out of the park against a pleasing abundance of gore. It is crammed with killer dialogue – “I do not care for hunky boys. Or do I?” and for the most part it’s terrific fun however it does run out of steam towards the end.
