This film is absolute trash!!! it looks like trash, the dialogue is trash, the story is trash, the acting is trash....you get the point.IT'S TRASH!!! if you want a "good" trashy blood soaked movie with some action watch "Story of Ricky" or "Braindead" but what ever you do don't watch this steaming pile of....

The first words that came out from my mouth after watching this movie were Oh my god what did i just watch..I finally got something totally different to watch out in form of Adam Chaplin.It was far far better than my expectationsNow what makes this movie different??What are it's plus points??1)Extreme bloodshed ever witnessed which makes it a must watch for fans of this genre2)Awesome background music which is almost nonstop and suits so well to each and every scene3)The way camera is used to shoot the sequences from different angles especially closely shot scenes are really a treat to watch.4)The deformed get up of almost all the characters gives it a distinctive look.5)The pace with which movie progresses with every scene and even the flashback making sense out of it..You won't find any scene illogical and meaningless6)The conversations between the actors are engaging and they won't bore you even for a second7)The gory action reflects creativity and is unforgettable and breathtaking8)The climax when demon resting on Adam's shoulder shoulder says There is no distance between you and your desire and adam without touching deformed antagonist destroys him using all his energy is just outstanding..Direction by Emanuele de santi who himself plays Adam the protagonist is praiseworthy and the special effects are visual delightSome of the scenes are graphically designed and appear artificial which do bother the viewers but as it is more of a fiction so they are acceptable..All in all Adam Chaplin is a low budget gem which is completely distinct in each and every perspective from other flicks of this genreI rate it 8 out of 10 as such kinda movie has never been made..

A homage to hyperviolent wuxia anime, supernatural vengeance flicks, and grindhouse, this bukkake of blood delivers more splatter for the platter than the filthiest gokkun fest. The directorial and acting debut of one Emanuele De Santi, this supernatural revenger flick plays out like some twisted hybrid of The Crow and Fist of The North Star, surpassing the live-action version of the latter in terms of sheer spectacle. A colourful cast, including some monstrous yet oddly sympathetic villains, help keep things ticking over between the bloodjaculatory set pieces. A testament to the fact that one can stretch a tight budget a long way. Hopefully, this'll not be the last seen of Santi.

Since I managed to stumble upon the pre-order on the day it was released (knew of the movie before, just didn't know when the release was) I figured I would order it. It didn't really look like a movie I would love, but it promised lots of blood and I figured I could review it at least. A few days later it arrived and now that I've seen it I think I WAS WRONG. An excellent movie.The plot is like something out of any random action movie (or "The Crow") where a man is out to kill the person who killed his wife. In this case it was a mafia boss, and the lead man is Adam Chaplin - a muscular, long-haired Italian who has summoned a demon on his back. The demon is helping him find the mafia boss and also gives Adam powers not of this earth. Through-out the movie he is punching holes through heads and bellies, crushing and ripping off arms and legs, and everything else you'd imagine someone from a cartoon would do.Yes, I say cartoon because this is quite literally "just" a live-action Anime. It mostly reminds me of a "Fist of the North Star" because that's an Anime I grew up watching that was in the veins of this. But of course, Adam Chaplin isn't as awesome as Kenshiro is/was. But the violence is like the similar Animes - blood spraying in ridiculous amounts, kicks and punches are done in rapid speeds, people either wear masks or have disfigured faces (all to try and make iconic characters of sorts). This movie was extremely entertaining upon first watch and still works after days and days.The problem (if you are a purist splatter fan) with the violence in this one isn't how it looks but the fact that there is so much CGI used to enhance it. But I love the way the CGI looks here, and that have improved a lot the violence-realism mostly in simple sequence: like the sequence where the homeless get chopped with machete. Maybe too much blood - like if someone is punched in the face they use about a bucket of blood for that alone.The demon on Adam back is another great touch, since Adam Chaplin manages to mix regular action, huge amounts of gore and unearthly things such as the demon.The bad thing on my opinion is the movie carries a very bluish look and I don't know if that's because it is set in a fictional country called "Heaven Valley" (stupid name for a country). It appears to be wanting a Hollywood-look and whether that's true or not I don't know, but a less "stylish" look would've been to prefer.All in all "Adam Chaplin" is probably the only movie that satisfy people who wants to see a live-action Anime (so basically, Anime fans) and people who wants to see splatter. It's an awesome movie for many reasons, mostly the action sequence can be watched and re-watched for many days...mounts...years...yes that's why many call it a cult. There's no need for me to warn you that you won't get a very good story with it, though, since anyone who puts this in the DVD player will be certain about it being a mindless splatter, but don't expect to laugh as much, this didn't set out to be funny.George Hittach
