Psycho Goreman Movie Review (2020)

Siblings Mimi and Luke find a gem in their backyard that controls a monster capable of destroying the universe. They go to bed questioning their parents as to the existence of monsters, only to find a giant hole in the backyard the following morning where the gem once lay. They follow leads to find the monster in an abandoned shoe factory where he had obliterated a few thieves with his powers. This is where Mimi finds out she can control him because she is in possession of the gem and they decide to call him Psycho Goreman or PG for short. He reminds me of a combination of Pinhead, the Djinn from 'Wishmaster' and the Creeper from 'Jeepers Creepers'.

PG shows great destain for the two, but Mimi and Luke aren't deterred and mess with him by having him run in place and clap his hands. He constantly threatens them and says how he'll drink their screams, but they just laugh him off. Mimi sees him more of a pet than a threat. His relationship with the family reminds me of Frankenstein's Monster in 'Monster Squad'. At this time, the Templars (entities who ruled over PG's planet of Gigax and used those who lived on the planet as slaves) are made aware that PG had been awoken and discuss how to vanquish him from the universe with Templar Pandora assuming the role to do so. PG's friends find him, but it turns out that they made a deal with the Templars and attack him in an attempt to end his life.

After being severly injured in the fight against his former allies, he explains to Mimi that he needs the gem to regenerate himself to prevent him from dying. Apprehensive, she decides to but realizes that Luke has stolen the gem. During Pandora's and PG's battle, Luke gives it to her and PG. With gem in hand, PG recovers and annihilates Pandora leaving him free to continue destroying the universe. Sparing the lives of his new family, of course.
