“I must say that I liked this 2020 movieu0026#39;s cover/poster and it definitely had a retro blaxploitation feel to it. And since I hadnu0026#39;t already seen this movie before, and I had the opportunity to do so now in 2021, of course I did so.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd while u0026quot;Death Ranchu0026quot; certainly is a watchable movie, it was sadly also a rather bland and mundane movie. u0026quot;Death Ranchu0026quot; doesnu0026#39;t bring anything new to this particular style of revenge horror movie that havenu0026#39;t already been seen or done better in other similar movies. Now, donu0026#39;t get me wrong here, I am not saying that u0026quot;Death Ranchu0026quot; was a bad movie. Not at all. It just was a mediocre one when it came to it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline was pretty straight forward, but to the point where it was rather predictable, and that was something that served as an anchor and held the movie back. So writer and director Charlie Steeds sort of shot himself in the foot here with the way he opted to take the story and the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt should be said, though, that what made u0026quot;Death Ranchu0026quot; watchable was the amount of blood, gore and mayhem throughout the course of the movie. There certainly was more than enough to keep a seasoned horror veteran and gorehound such as myself content. And I will say that the this movie is rather visceral and visual, and that definitely worked well in favor of the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting in u0026quot;Death Ranchu0026quot; was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie that you are sitting down to watch. So donu0026#39;t go expecting any grand, stellar acting performances that will reap an abundance of Academy awards.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, u0026quot;Death Ranchu0026quot; was a watchable, albeit generic and bland one. It can easily be watched a single time around, but I doubt that I will ever be sitting down to watch u0026quot;Death Ranchu0026quot; a second time. My rating of u0026quot;Death Ranchu0026quot; lands on a bland five out of ten stars.”
