He Never Died - with Henry Rollins

Just watched. Was great - love me some Henry Rollins just being Henry Rollins.

I watched this last night. It's a pretty strange movie, but appealing in the way that it's strange. He's a vampire, but only to the extent that he eats flesh/drinks blood. He's more of a cannibal that can't die in those regards though. And he doesn't even do it "that much". And he isn't affected by crosses or sunlight. So it's not a traditional vampire at all.

It's just a very strange movie. But if you watch it, you'll like it. And it's unique. You could get incredibly wealthy if you just live forever. But at the same time, things would be so boring. No wonder he just wants to "exist".

solid movie. love how he doesn't' give a fuck and keeps asking what time it is, lol like come on!

Watched this over Christmas and found it to be a delightful horror comedy.

I really like how the portray how plain bored he is of everything. Let me play senior bingo in peace!

Streaming on Netflix. The plot was basic and as mentioned the premise not overly unique, but Rollins really nailed the "no fucks given" attitude of his character.

Yup. I wish he'd do a lot more stand up again. I caught glimpses of that in his character, in this movie.

Nice trailer, I'm in.

It was entertaining, not cringeworthy and the zero fucks given attitude is spot on. Sad times, it wasn't released in theaters near enough for me to see it's run, but it really didn't need the big screen treatment to be enjoyable.

Really wish Rollins was in more stuff.

Never saw the trailer, but remember seeing this thread title and gave it a shot when it popped up on Netflix's suggestion for me.

Great movie

This was actually pretty fucking awesome. They went a tad heavy handed with the Cain stuff, felt like it would have worked better if it was more understated/implied rather than just, you know, saying it. Also putting it in the trailer is a shit idea.

I think that's the key.


Spoiled just because it's the type of movie people will probably find over time

Honest question, when you say heavy handed, what do you mean? I only remember it taking up a few minutes of screen time. Cara had a wtf face and he just told her and that was it

Him just straight up telling her is the problem, it just feels far too direct. It's like he's not telling her, he's telling the audience, just in case they had somehow not already figured it out/assumed.

I don't think 99.9% of people would have understood he was Cain if he didn't directly say so. Otherwise people would've just thought he was a vampire.

Or a fallen Angel. Cain was son of man, but in one of the first scenes we see Henry with his shirt off and two large wing scars. I think there was maybe a revision in the script at some point.

I enjoyed it though. Good flick. I would have been fine with more Cain stuff. I think they did a good job avoiding the temptation.

its on Netflix fyi

edit: I am late 2 the party

Good & fun movie, good to see Rollins getting a leading roll.
