Скачать или смотреть Shiver Me Timbers (2025) Camping Nightmares: When Halley's Comet Strikes!

'Shiver Me Timbers (2025) is a British horror-comedy slasher film that reimagines the classic character Popeye the Sailor Man as a mute, hulking killing machine. It is one of several horror films released in 2025 capitalizing on the character entering the public domain.

Here are the key details about the film:

Premise & Plot
The film is set in Northern California during the summer of 1986.

The Setup: Olive Oyl, her brother Castor Oyl, and a group of friends embark on a camping trip to witness the passing of Halley's Comet.

The Catalyst: While they are camping, a fragment from a meteor crashes nearby and lands in the corncob pipe of a reclusive local fisherman named Popeye.

The Horror: Instead of spinach giving him strength, the cosmic dust from the meteor transforms Popeye into a grotesque, superhuman mutant. He goes on a rampage, hunting down the campers with a mix of brute force and nautical-themed violence.

Cast & Crew
Director/Writer: Paul Stephen Mann

Popeye: Played by David Hallows (as the old man) and Tony Greer (as the transformed monster).

Olive Oyl: Played by Amy Mackie.

Castor Oyl: Played by Brendan Nelson.

Production Companies: Alpake Entertainment, Edinburgh Film Productions.

Distributor: Gravitas Ventures.

Style & Reception
Tone: The film leans heavily into splatter comedy and camp. It is described as an homage to 1980s slasher films, featuring over-the-top gore, cheese-filled dialogue, and deliberate absurdity.

Reception: Reviews have been divisive. Some viewers appreciated the "so-bad-it's-good" B-movie energy and the creative use of practical effects in some kills. Others criticized the low-budget CGI used for Popeye’s facial expressions and the acting.

Trend: Shiver Me Timbers is part of a wave of "mascot horror" films (similar to Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey) that twist beloved childhood icons into horror villains as soon as their copyrights expire.

Notable Scenes
The film is known for its bizarre kills, including a scene involving toxic waste and a climax where Olive Oyl creates a weaponized buzzsaw arm (a nod to Evil Dead) to fight the mutant sailor.
