Xanadu Hellfire

As I stumbled upon this 2022 fantasy movie here in 2023, and opted to watch it, I had actually never heard about it. The movie's cover was definitely an eye catcher, because it had a very 1980s cheesy vibe to it. But I have to say that the cover worked, because it made me interested in the movie. And as I started to watch "Xanadu Hellfire", it was pretty obvious that it was a low budget movie. And not of the great kind. Nay, writer and director Justin Armao managed to concoct a very cheesy script for the movie, and you don't ever really buy into the concept of the storyline, which makes sitting through "Xanadu Hellfire" quite the ordeal. The acting performances in "Xanadu Hellfire" were dubious at best, especially with a bunch of the younger performers being unable to stop up and look directly into the camera throughout the course of the movie. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. And that is usually something I enjoy when I watch a movie, but it just didn't work out for me in this movie. The costumes and props were low budget and low key. It permeated low budget production of the bad kind. And I have to admit that I was laughing several times throughout the course of the movie because of the laughable costumes that felt like something purchased off of Wish or AliExpress. And as for the dystopian Earth in the future, I was amazed with how clean and spotless everything was, from the people to their clothes. It just didn't come off as being believable. "Xanadu Hellfire" is a pretty bad low budget movie, which feels like something that was made by a group of Live Action Roleplayers borrowing their father's digital video camera. It made for a rather disappointing viewing experience. My rating of "Xanadu Hellfire" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Loved this movie! It's hilarious and feel good. Watching it makes me want to go out and make my own film, the vibe reminds me of a much more wholesome Kevin Smith movie haha. Maybe one day we'll get a Jay and Silent Bob cross over film with Xanadu Hellfire characters? One can dream right?! Becky is the secret star of this film, but every character is so much fun. The cameo from Bloodsucka Jones and his sidekick had me rolling on the floor laughing. I've seen Justin's other films and each one just keeps getting better and better. Truly a movie made out of friendship with all like minded people. I can not wait to see what he does next!

This film is all about the ladies being fully in charge of their destinies. They are tough and know what they want in life. The lead character, Ruby is sweet and charming. She has an endearing relationship with her dad, a single father and a relatable friendship with her bestie, Becky. It's fun to see her adventures unfold. This film reminded me of movies from my childhood. Lots of action with just the right amount of cheese! It's funny. It's heartwarming and the cast is great! Brings me back to weekend movies with friends in high school. I am a huge martial arts fan and was pleasantly surprised by the martial arts elements.
