Leave your thoughts about He Never Died.
| NerdistScott WeinbergHe Never Died is a cool, confident, frequently sarcastic, and unexpectedly accomplished piece of work that'd probably still work pretty well with a different actor in the lead role, but then we'd be missing out on the best work of Henry Rollins' career. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeWhile He Never Died is hardly a comedy — it's bloody and reflective, with a gloomy side that sometimes threatens to sink it — these wry moments are central to its appeal. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThe script injects a welcome dose of quirky humor, and Rollins gives an amusing understated performance. |
| The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenGore and guffaws attend this very dark horror comedy in roughly equal measure. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsSo if you're wondering if you should see He Never Died or not, consider how much time you want to spend in Rollins's company. He proves himself to be as charming as a younger Arnold Schwarzenegger, but his appeal is just as limited. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayHe Never Died isn't as fleshed out as it could be, but what the film lacks in vivid supporting characters and rich plotting it gets back from Rollins, whose innate charisma carries the film. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe super Rollins performance makes it worth watching. |
| StarburstFord Maddox BrownHe Never Died has more than enough blood splattering and bone crushing to keep the avid horror fan entertained, but it also has depth and a measured inclusion of genuine humour that may draw horror sceptics to its cause. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonMany times, the 'less is more' approach to storytelling can really enhance a film and such is the case with Jason Krawczyk's He Never Died- a minimalist look at the life of a cannibal who also has been bestowed with the gift of eternal life. |
| Village VoiceRob StaegerHe Never Died is a Tootsie Pop of a movie. It has the outer shell of Taken...but there's an altogether different treat in the center. |
