Film Review – Manborg

MANBORG Still 1

Their name is Astron-6. A filmmaking collective from Canada, the
production team specializes in retro entertainment with a distinct wink,
fueled by a love of eighties cinema and the freedom of no-budget
creative challenges. Their debut feature, “Father’s Day,” was an
unexpectedly hilarious, imaginative take on splatter shenanigans,
cutting the toxicity of the gore with a sly sense of humor, articulated
by a sharp ensemble of capable comedians. Astron-6 returns with
“Manborg,” another dip into the warm waters of violent B-movie
reverence, this time channeling “RoboCop,” Sam Raimi, and the “Mortal
Kombat” video game to generate an acid-washed cornucopia of action and
laughs. Short, silly, and superbly crafted with next to no money,
“Manborg” is a delight. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
