Movie Reviews of Rumpelstiltskin
Movie Review: Finally an answer to the timeless question Will there ever be an elf action hero?
Summary: 5 Stars
Rumpelstiltskin is in the very limited elf genre so of course it has been a long time resident of the Must Be Reviewed list. But even if it wasn't, the fact that someone decided to make a b horror loosely based on Rumpelstiltskin would have been irresistable to supreme b enthusiasts. That it was made in 95 is just icing on the cake. Without going into the unnecessary back story the magical little gargoyle hunchback elf hunts babies. In the first scene the little guy is banished into a rock by a witch and thrown into the ocean. Then the witch sets him on fire. Watching this dwarf roll around on the ground on fire is one of the 10 funniest things ever. It has to be seen.
About 500 years after the rock was thrown into the ocean, Rump washes up on shore in LA where he is unleashed by a young widdow who of course has a kid. So the rest of the movie is him chasing her and the kid around. They're also helped out by a loud mouth TV host who happens to be standing on the side of the road when mom and baby are escaping Rump. Yeah this one was high on the made no sense scale if you couldn't tell by its 5 can rating. A cool wrinkle is that this little killing machine can't be killed. He was shot stabbed and set on fire and he didn't die. He's as tough as Myers so yeah he's pretty tough. The best part of the movie was when Rump kills a truck driver and starts chasing after the TV guy and a bundle of blankets he thinks is the kid who are in TV guy's dune buggy in an 18 wheeler. He's three feet tall but you know what? let's have him driving a truck anyway that'll be sweet. If you can't applaud the hell out of that, Sid doesn't know what to tell you. The him driving a truck thing lasted about 40 minutes by the way. And the TV guy was cracking one liners the whole time as he's being chased by a little killer creature. The whole thing was amazing really.
The bulk of this flick was Lincoln Hawk DeJesus all the way. The rest of the time it was Rump doing a Leprechaun impression. An hour and a half of pure b enjoyment. It's going to be a small sub-genre but Sid will without a doubt be on the hunt for more b elf-horror-action/comedies. This one was so great, especially under the right conditions so if you get the opportunity to see this one consider yourself lucky because there are still doubts that this movie actually exsists and wasn't some b induced hilucination.
