The Bondsman
(2025, Amazon Prime)
Review based on Episodes 1-4
Kevin Bacon looks to be having fun playing Hub Halloran, a bondsman who is killed on a job, but brought back to life by the devil in order to ‘dispatch’ demons that have escaped from Hell.
It’s largely formulaic and cheesy, but still somehow works, perhaps by not taking itself too seriously. It’s occasionally gory, but any of the horror here is played purely for entertainment and not scares. This is entirely switch-your-brain-off stuff; ideal for when you don’t want something too heavy.
If you like Ash Vs The Evil Dead, then this should be right up your street.
8/10 (CB)
