This could've been a fun sarcastic little short.Instead it's a pretty long and not particulary interesting movie. Humor is hits and misses, sometimes it almost works. I guess it works better if you are a fan of Supernatural-like shows.While watching I came up with lots of interesting ideas about the mystery behind the main character. But it turned out to be absolutely random and not connected to anything. You can replace his background story with any random background story because there isn't really any connection, just a set of random scenes edited by a guy with ADHD (all dialogue is edited with like 1,5 sec cuts).Random scenes happen, some more random scenes happen, we are shown that he cannot die. I guess with a title like this you are expected to be surprised. Then comes the random reveal and the movie just ends. Nothing really happened so I can't even discuss anything in detail. You can't spoil this movie either.I love trash movies, but this isn't even good trash. I was surprised to see such high ratings, I guess this has a cult following, but I really can't figure out why.

'He Never Died' is quirky and serious at the same time. This film has much more depth than one can expect from such genre (horror-comedy). Henry Rollins gives a performance of a lifetime as a loner Jack, who doesn't want anything more than left alone. He is immortal who has roamed the Earth since the beginning of times. Even he himself doesn't know how old he is (he knows that he is mentioned in the Bible). Having witnessed centuries of petty side of human existence, it is no surprise that such a creature have developed such detachment from society. His mono-syllabic answers and responses are usually hilarious. The screenplay is well written with plenty of sly humor and twists. Much is said with little words and explanations. Character Jack is well developed, and not only - being immortal, he is actually very relatable and realistic. Supporting characters are also interesting, and are never demoted to just a daughter, love interest or gangster. Gory, funny and unpredictable ride that is actually much more than simple horror comedy.

This is an awesome piece. Immortality, morality, redemption?I just can't wait for the next chapter be it a Series or a new Movie. This is some awesome material with some awesome possibilities. Well backed, this has possibilities of becoming not just a cult hit as it is, but a true Box Office one as well.

Jack (Henry Rollins) has developed a routine for his life that he sticks to in order to avoid giving into the impulse to engage in cannibalism. He stays away from society other than regular trips to a local diner, bingo games, and to the hospital, where he purchases blood from a hospital intern, Jeremy (Booboo Stewart).Although there is a little bit of some bad acting (especially characters in the first 10 minutes), this seems to clear up. Rollins is a dominating force, which is no surprise. He has always been great at commanding attention, and this is a character that is well-suited for him.I am confused about this being listed as a comedy. Some reviewers even say it is "laugh out loud funny", but I just didn't see it. There are some moments of dark humor, but as a whole it really doesn't play as a comedy and I think it would be better if they didn't suggest that it was. Let the film speak for itself.Most disappointing is how the film is essentially a pilot for a miniseries. I love the characters, love the Biblical themes they were going for, but it was clear this movie was not scripted to be wrapped up in one movie. If the miniseries were to fall through, the movie would suffer as a result. I see that as a shortcoming, though it is one that could yet be rectified.
