200 Items Or Less: Don't Kill It (2017)

A few thoughts: Sometimes it's fun to just plug in a brainless actiony horror movie that you can laugh with and forget all about by the time it's over. This is exactly that kind of movie, and I regret nothing. Dolph Lundgren plays a demon hunter who's spent a good chunk of his life tracking down a demon that moves from host to host by being killed, making it very hard to stop. It's sort of like 'Fallen', but with way more blood. I know this isn't a good movie in a lot of ways, bit so did the people who made it, which allowed them to have fun with the concept and approach it in a very similar way as something like 'Wolfcop'. It's super violent, has a few really great moments that define it, and has a surprisingly entertaining lead performance from Lundgren, who seemed to be enjoying himself a great deal here. It's got a few solid jokes, some really cool visuals (I particularly love the lighting), and a whole bunch of creative kills and over-the-top gore and action. What else could you really expect from a Lundgren action/horror movie?


Who would I recommend it to? People who are looking for a fun way to pass the time and don't want to commit to full horror or full action. It's an entertaining bit of both that's easy to watch.

My grade: C
