Evil Bong 666 Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman August 5, 2017

Talk about a movie aimed at a particular demographic. It's safe to say that Full Moon's Evil Bong 666 isn't going to play well with middle America, and it's semi-safe to say it's not even going to play well with more open-minded audiences, either, no so much because it makes weed, the devil, and bare breasts its centerpieces, but because it's not a good movie. A stoner flick with prodigious T&A, a talking bong, a vagina-shaped portal to hell, the movie has it all, but at the same time it doesn't have much else. Its saving grace is that it doesn't take itself seriously for even a microsecond. It knows its place, its style, and its audience. It only tries to outdo itself, to increase the absurdity with every passing moment, and at a very brisk 65 minutes in length, it cannot be said that it overextends its welcome, though even then there are a number of scenes that could use a healthy trim to tighten it up.

There's really only one human fit to go to hell while he's still alive, and that's Doomguy, and he's certainly not going to spend his time smoking some Mary Jane and feeling up her sister while he's at it. But maybe a good-looking girl with a satan fetish could work, too. She'll have to do, because that's the driving force behind Evil Bong 666. Lucy Furr (Mindy Robinson), who one can only hope had her name legally changed at some point, has just bought a weed shop during a fire sale, as in when the store was literally ablaze. It must have been a sign, because she's in love with all things lucifer. She's so in-tune with her demonic side and so eager to meet her hero, the devil himself, that she inadvertently opens up a gateway to hell. Through it appears Ebee (voiced by Michelle Mais), the talking bong. Lucy is talked into sacrificing some of her clients to further open the vagina- shaped portal. When she and a few others are transported through the gate, she finally realizes her dream and meets Beelzebud (Peter Donald Badalamenti II), head honcho in Sexy Hell, but the face-to-face and trip to hell might not be all she imagined; a sinister new hybrid character awaits in the darkness.

Words like "disconnected" and "random" best describe the movie, which often plays more like a collection of jumbled scenes with what can only be described as a threadbare connection that moves the film along but without much sense of real purpose. It's a cheap thrills pic, one made to be enjoyed as sinfully delectable cheese and nothing else, and heaven help anyone who is looking at the movie to be anything more than over-the-top absurdity and an excess of bare breasts. In that regard, one can call the movie a success. Its audience will probably love it, those looking for even a morsel of credibility will scoff. It gets a reaction, good or bad, and it's probably best enjoyed through a smoky haze of pot and laughs as the film parades through its lineup of weirdos and whatever semblance of a story one can piece together through all of it.

Evil Bong 666 Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

Like most other movies these days, budget or blockbuster, Evil Bong 666 was digitally photographed. The film has no textural character. It's very flat, but nevertheless very detailed and well colored. Fine skin, clothing, and makeup textures are impressive. Fans will note every fleshy detail on every breast and every little ridge on the phony devil horns. Props, large and small and Ebee in particular, are nicely revealing. Colors are punchy, particularly reds, pinks, and oranges. The palette is well saturated and diverse. Black levels and skin tones are fine. Noise and banding are minimal.

Low budget though it may be, it's hard to fathom that a semi-large studio would release a brand new film from one of its flagship franchises with a 192Kbps Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack, but that's what Evil Bong 666 brings to the Blu-ray table. Despite its meager technical credentials, the track satisfies. Musical clarity and width are just fine, pushing rather far along the front end and presenting each note throughout the range with commendable definition. The track is always lively, with music and a number of effects alike entering the stage with vigor. There are a few effects that surprise given the track's technical constraints, some oomph and sparks that bring a few key moments to life. Dialogue is clear and detailed with satisfying front-center positioning.

Evil Bong 666 Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Evil Bong 666 is most certainly not a "good movie" in the traditional sense. Talking about it, never mind evaluating it, really demands that one throw all preconceived notions out the window and drastically shift gears away from traditional cinema. This is an entirely different beast, a cheap movie made to capitalize on cheap gags, prodigious nudity, and, of course, its talking bong character. It definitely plays down to its budget and embraces the absurdity. It's certainly not for everyone, but fans of cheap, cheesy, goofy, and gratuitous movies should enjoy it well enough. Full Moon's Blu-ray contains a decent little array of extra content. Video and audio are fine, even considering the audio's rock-bottom technical specs.
