Review of Absurd

Absurd - 1981 ( This Film Rates a C ) A man with an unusual cerebral mass has the power to regenerate dead cells. He is virtually immortal, insane and a "blood thirsty beast". Of course there is that one and only secret way to stop him. The gore and effects are fake looking but several of the kills are brutal and intense. The script is poor, the transition between scenes is poor, highlighted with terrible and unconvincing acting through out the entire film. The officer in this film has a cigarette in every sequence he is in, hell, everyone in this film smokes. The soundtrack has some really spectacular moments, a good example is at the 44:16 mark. Sadly the scare tactic during this scene completely deflated with the randomness of the bearded guy. There are several other scare tactics that were hokey and just didn't work. Overall there is enough "absurd" to keep this fairly entertaining, but ultimately it cannot overcome its consistent failings.
