I’ll  be absolutely honest, in hindsight Swordkill was a bit of a letdown to me. dont get me wrong I still stand by my review of it, and I still agree with all of it. The problem I have once again lies purely with myself in the sense that this movie was marketed to me as something that it most definitely isnt.

I was expecting full blown Troma carnage with crazy over the top action scenes, some terrible good/bad acting and maybe a few crazy set pieces…the reality was that this film was much MUCH more subtle, subdued and more in line with generic action films than I had anticipated. that doesnt make this a bad movie…but because the internet and several friends had told me just how CERRRRAZZY! this movie was. I bought into the hype and came away a bit underwhelmed…now I understand that thats a hangup I have to live with myself. But whenever I review movies I think it’s important to try and set the record as straight as possible with movies. mainly because one of the main reasons I got into reviewing in the first place was because I got fed up of misinformation or people selling movies as something that they just arnt…

So yeh…Swordkill. it’s not bad. it’s not some crazy “out there” movie…it’s just alright…and thats good enough for me!

(That VHS artwork is bloody brilliant!)
