The trend of twisting classic children’s tales into horror nightmares continues! Following in the footsteps of Winnie the Pooh, Pinocchio, and Bambi, another iconic character gets a dark reimagining: Popeye, in Shiver Me Timbers, which turns the sailor man into a terrifying killer.
Inspired by the classic Popeye animated series, Shiver Me Timbers sets sail into slasher territory. Written and directed by Paul Mann, the film follows a group of friends on a camping trip to witness the Halley’s Comet meteor shower. However, their getaway takes a horrifying turn when a meteor hits and transforms a lovable Popeye into a monstrous killer driven by an insatiable thirst for destruction. The group is left fighting for survival against the once wholesome character.
Tony Greer stars as this new, monstrous Popeye. The cast includes Paul Dewdney, Stephen Corrall, Amy Mackie, Paul Stephen Mann, David Hallows, and Murdo Adams.
Grab your spinach and get ready to set sail. This twisted tale lands on digital in the UK from Reel to Reel Films beginning June 2. Watch Shiver Me Timbers now in the US on digital and demand, including on Prime Video.
