Popeye's Revenge, Our Favorite Sailor Man Shreds Hunks and Babes

Steven Murphy's portrayal of Popeye is quite different than the one done by Robin Williams.  I will say, this 2025 Popeye interpretation is stacked with some sultry bikini babes and hunks with six-pack abs...all will die horribly.  But wait!  Yep, Olive Oyl (Kelly Rian Sanson) is also in this one...and she's as psycho as Popeye. Did we ask for another Popeye film?  No. But, we did ask for another horror film with babes in bikinis having sex in hot tubs and then dying in those same hot tubs by the hands of a lunatic and his GF.  Or, I think we were asking for that. Our feature today is "Popeye's Revenge," directed by William Steed.

As the film begins a backstory will be delivered through crude animation.  The tale is fraught with madness, slaughter, and twisted love, but it sets out Popeye and Olive Oyl as psychos looking to murder anyone that enters the house in which they were imprisoned and tortured in as children. Tara (Emily Mogilner) is a babe who wants to do a good deed.  I know, these always work out so well in these movies.  She assembles her BF, the hunk Dylan (Connor Powles), her bestie, the babe Donna (Danielle Ronald), the hunk Nick (Bruno Cryan), the most sultry babe ever to appear in a movie from England, Kathy (Karolina Ugrenyuk), and the big-boobed Sky (Atlanta Moreno)...oh, Max (Fyn Phoenixx). They enter the house in order to restore it and turn it into a haunted house attraction.  what could go wrong?

Right, Popeye and Olive.  The fog rolls in and so does the dastardly duo. Popeye begins picking the babes and hunks off one by one. Sky has a gratuitous bikini and skinny dip scene in the hot tub which Popeye will end in bloody fashion.  Poor Sky, she is the first.  So sad, this film will have an astronomical death count.  We want Kathy to survive because her in that leopard print bikini may be the most impressive thing coming out of the U.K. since Kate Beckinsale. I know, you can guess her fate.  Popeye kills by ripping out spines, running lawn mowers over babes, popping out eyeballs crushing heads, and castrating with anchors. With Olive Oyl at his side he goes through hunks and babes like crap through a goose.  Where does this all lead?  You'll see, but this film is largely a gratuitous platform for some nice cheese and beef in peril.

Will Tara be a final girl, and if so why?  Is there any way possible that Kathy in her leopard print bikini survives this onslaught?  I know, stupid question.  Will Olive Oyl and any of the bikini babes engage in a catfight to the death?  The kills are imaginative and gory and there are a lot of them.  For a gratuitous dive into prurience and bloody slaughter, see "Popeye's Revenge."
