I don’t know what I can say about Chris Seaver and his films that I haven’t already said in previous review. I’ve reviewed a lot of his movies over the years and really enjoyed most of them. Hell, I still have fun with the few that I don’t like. His movies really is an experience that I recommend to anyone that grew up in the 80s or has the sense of humor of a teenager.
Sometime back I was surprised to learn that Seaver had wrapped on a sequel in 2023 to one of his earlier films. The movie, Mulva: Demon Ass Kicker, was getting released through Makeflix but they seemed to be dragging their feet on it. I started keeping an eye on Seaver’s Instagram account and noted when the film was released. At the time I wasn’t able to snag a copy but kept an up with it until I could. However, during that time the movie hit some streaming services and I was able to check it out on The B Stream. I want to thank The B Stream for sending me a promo code so I could check them out!
**Spoiler Alert** Mulva: Demon Ass Kicker follows Mulva (Naja) who is about to celebrate her birthday when she suspects that her friends are doing something special for her. When she presses them further she learns that they are planning a Halloween party. As she prepares for the party, two people she accidentally offended previously sets out to sabotage her. They use an ancient book to summon a trio of sex demons who they promise can rape and kill everyone at the party. However, that is no easy task when Mulva puts on her ass kicking boots. **Spoiler Alert**
The first two Mulva films are not for everyone. Hell, Demon Ass Kicker will not be for everyone but it’s worth noting that the first two films and this one are very different in regards to look. Seaver’s films are known for making the best out of nothing. His no budget films are meant for those that have fun with movies without needing the big budgets for effects and polish. Not having a budget is why he masks everything with humor. However, this sequel is leagues above the first two and may be one of my favorite films of his only second to The Weirdsies. It was a lot of fun and easily one of the better shot films to come out of the Warlock Home Video camp.
The acting in this one is a lot of fun which is the first thing I expect from a Low Budget Pictures/Warlock Home Video/Midnight Kids Productions. The characters always have a lot of energy and deliver some hilarious dialogue. We have a lot of returning faces and the cast is always fun to watch regardless if they are brand new or genre legends with decades under their belts. While on that same topic, Debbie Rochon who portrayed Mulva in the first sequel appears in the film as a different character. She was solid as Mulva but I really enjoyed her more in her role here. She has a lot of experience in front of the camera and easily slips into the style of characters Seaver is known for.
The story for this one is pure Warlock Home Video. We have more sexual innuendos than you can shake your dick at while keeping the essence of Mulva there. The sugar addicted surprisingly badass Mulva character still has all the quirky things that made her so memorable early on in Seaver’s career while bringing in the trends that many of his fan has seen in his work over the last 10 or 15 years. The set up for the story is not really that creative or imaginative but it’s the characters, humor, and what happens once the party starts that makes the journey worth it.
Finally, the film has surprisingly better effects than almost every other film I’ve seen from Seaver. While it’s not a gory flick, the monster cocks and the gags associated with it look great. The kills may not be the most brutal but they fit the film and are very memorable. Overall, Mulva: Demon Ass Kicker is so much fucking fun especially if you have the mind of a teenager with a nudie mag hidden under your bed. I know most of the horror community will turn their nose up to it but those of us not high on our own farts will truly appreciate the humor. I highly recommend this one.
