Don't Kill It is a 2016 Dolph Lundgren movie. It's a bit of a comedy horror thing, Dolph's a demon hunter, he's been keeping a demon in a flask since he was a boy. He tossed it into the Mississippi bayou before the movie starts but in the opening scene some dog finds the flask. The demon escapes and takes over the dog. It puts the bite on the owner, who kills the dog, then the demon jumps to the man. It always jumps to the person or critter that killed it's host. Dolph's father poisoned himself and killed the host. His dad's dying body weakened the demon. When his father died Dolph was able to put the escaping bit of the demon into a metal flask. Once the dog owner gets home, there are all sorts of homicides. The local officials can't get their head around 3 triple homicides so the FBI sends an agent who had been run out of the same town by superstitious yokels when she was a child. She died and returned from the dead. People were upset somehow. Dolph thinks she's the good equivalent of the demon. The demon takes a liking to her, knowing the power that capturing a good soul will bring him. Now we've got everyone running about the town and the body count keeps mounting. It's pretty much a hunting demons movie with some comedy. It was enjoyable enough, I'd watch it again, but doubt I'd buy one. Who knows if I'd ever get back to it. I have literally thousands of movies to watch.
I probably wouldn't get back to Get Mean, a 1975 Italian Spaghetti Western, even if I had a copy. It's near the end of popularity for the SW and I suppose to jazz up the genre a bit they've thrown in everything they could that didn't belong in a SW. Tony Anthony takes on a job of transporting a Spanish noble woman to Spain. There they run into barbarians, Moors, an effete sidekick and a Shakespeare loving hunchback. After seeing it I began to wonder what went on in the head of the screenwriter. Tony Anthony wrote the story that was adapted by Wolfe Lowenthal and Lloyd Battista. Ferdinando Baldi is the director and I'm wondering what the hell he was thinking when he turned in the finished film. I wish it had more, and better, jokes. I found the music annoying as fuck too.
