I’ve been writing reviews at Horror Society for almost 15 years now and during my first few years on the site I befriended Florida based filmmaker Sean Donohue when he was promoting Death-Scort Service. I instantly became a fan and he became one of a handful of filmmakers that I actively follow. I’ve loved most of his films and always look forward to his next project.
few days back he messaged me to review his newest film Hobocop. This spinoff from his Death-Scort Service film starred frequent collaborators Sushii Xhyvette Holder and Bob Glazier. I knew this wasn’t a horror film but I couldn’t wait to dig into it. Like always, I want to thank Sean for sending this one over!
**Spoiler Alert** The film follows a hobo (Glazier) who finds a murdered cop. Instead of reporting the death to the authorities, he snags the officer’s badge and gun where he becomes a vigilante of sorts. This puts a strain on a corrupt detective who has partnered with a drug pusher and pimp when hobocop tries to shut them down. **Spoiler Alert**
Hobocop is a movie I knew Sean was working on but I knew very little about the project. Over the years I’ve learned that it’s best not to get too deep into films that I plan on watching because it’s just more fun to go in blind. This was no exception. It was very entertaining but nowhere near my favorite film from the GatorBlade Films’ catalogue.
The acting in this one is very uneven but not the worst I’ve seen. Glazier and Makowski deliver solid performances. While the characters they portrayed are not their most memorable, they still did a great job. We also get some seriously impressive performances from Sushii Xhyvette Holder and Katie McKinley. I’ve seen them in several films before and, though they never disappoint, I was not expecting such serious performances from the two. They made the film for me and I really hope they get more serious roles in the future. The supporting cast is where we get the uneven performances. It could be from inexperience but some of the scenes were a bit awkward to watch. With that being said, holy hell are the women in this movie gorgeous. I’ve heard a lot of bad things about Florida but god damn do I want to visit.
The story for this one is a little spin off of the Death-Scort Service series and it works as a straight forward crime flick. It’s basically a vigilante film with a crooked cop, drugs, and a lot of nudity. It has some humor that works for the most part and while I did enjoy it for what it is, I would rather watch one of the Death-Scort Service films before I revisit this one.
Finally, the deaths in this one are not as memorable as some of the other GatorBlade Films I’ve reviewed in the past. We get some blood and some practical effects but that is about the extent of it. Overall, Hobocop is another fun one from Donohue and company. It’s got beautiful women and some fun performances. I highly recommend checking this one out especially if you are fans of GatorBlade’s previous releases.
