This is an awesome piece. Immortality, morality, redemption?I just can't wait for the next chapter be it a Series or a new Movie. This is some awesome material with some awesome possibilities. Well backed, this has possibilities of becoming not just a cult hit as it is, but a true Box Office one as well.

He never died, was a fun interesting horror film, henry Rollins acting is excellent, and I haven't had as much fun in a film for a long time, I did not want it to end. Don't be fooled into thinking it is a B grade movie. Henry carries this movie with ease. Only flaw is the DVD cover is misleading. Enjoyable film
Fallen Eye
I'll admit that at first, Jacks extremely indelicate persona was quite funny in the beginning, but sadly, it started to become the film's strongest leg to stand on, and sadly, Jack's unintentional humorous nature was just not strong enough to sustain a full 99 minutes.He Never Died is incoherent and takes so long to take off, that by the time it tries to, it's run out of road.Andrea is a character that's neither here nor there. Jeremy is, meh. The two thugs are, what they are. Cara is, pretty, and OK. The landlord is perhaps my second favorite character, and I'm not even sure she's meant to be of any consequence.The directing is choppy, and I can't even remember the composition. The movie gets quite boring an hour in.People seem to like this movie, not really sure why. Yeah, Henry Rollins is pretty good, but, it's not enough for a rating over 6, but, to each their own I guess.3.5/10.
Modern Monsters
Plagued by a grindhouse title and your bottom-of-the barrel Netflix expectations, He Never Died has everything against it: a vague promise of cannibalism, second rate actors, and an opening scene during which the director instructed the sound engineer to go full blast "weird". Fortunately, if one is attuned to language, the title is set in the past, which we discover at the end is quite immemorial; this is not your run-of- the-mill Jason Statham flick, situated in the present, or Heaven forbid, an even more grindhouse fare (with bloody letters and an exclamation mark!) that a post-modern writer-director would have spin to a lazy studio exec.He Never Died is a good movie. Not only he never did, but he never does and will never do. He's one of this cursed characters, unable to escape his fate, because this fate has been sealed shut for eternity. Whatever he tries to appease a vengeful God is bound to fail, even though the man with a funny hat can enjoy his haphazard treat.Quite everything is delightful in this movie, from the mute, no-nonsense hero to the lovely scenes he manages to extract – with minimal effort – from his female co-stars, a rather conventional daughter and a glorious diner waitress. All men involved meet their prompt demise, because they are scum, the main villain having the worst encounter possible, condensed in just one, terrifying syllable.Could have we done without the Biblical reference? Maybe. Does it make the movie in any way less enjoyable? Hell no. Watch it.
