In this supernatural winter epic set in the 19th century, a drunken salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America’s largest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers. Director Mike Cheslick estimated that the mascot costumes cost around $10,000, and the crew purchased all of their costumes online. His mustache falls off & lands in the snow as he stands back up. He wears it again in the next scene, despite walking away without picking it up. Reference to Movie Junk Podcast: Episode 940: Flawless (2024). Jean Kayak and His Acme Applejack Written and produced by Wayne Teves Engineered and co-produced by Carl Landwehr. Now this is a movie I saw at the Nightmares Film Festival. It’s not horror, but I still wanted to write a review. I have to say, this is not a movie I would normally enjoy. Although, as midnight approached, it was fun to watch the event with the crowd. Co-writer/star Ryland Brickson also stars Cole Tews in the theater. I should also include; this was the Ohio premiere. This movie has Jean Kayak (Tews) who has an orchid and makes hard apple cider. He is a drunkard who just loves to have fun. One day, beavers come and ruin one of his big barrels that held his cider. So everything falls apart, and now it is winter. Jean has no luck catching food and is struggling to survive. Jean then goes into the fur trade. He watches a bearded man commit a murder. So much so that the guy running this place, Doug Manchesky, wants him to marry his daughter, who is a furrier, Olivia Graves. Jean has to fight his way up a mountain to become a trapper, and that will put him in the face of the beavers in the area. They’ve built an epic dam that holds a lot more inside. So, I was a little familiar with what I was getting into here after watching a previous Tews movie called Lake Michigan Monster. It’s in a similar vein. There’s CGI and animation for the backgrounds. These techniques are also used with the character movements and just bringing it to life overall. It takes a lot of time, and I’m surprised. It helps that we don’t have a lot of dialogue. At times this is presented as a silent film, we even have title cards. It also reminds me of cartoons where our characters didn’t talk. It looks cheap, but it’s a lot harder than it sounds. Following this idea, they tell a narrative story without using much dialogue. The things we see are repetitive. I will admit that by the end I was tired and ready to go home. I don’t want to downplay that though, because it gets harder and harder to stay awake the closer to midnight. I will say this though. This movie is made to be enjoyed in the theater or for people to have a drink and just enjoy their time with it. I can see people hating it. I tell you as a fan of serious and dark movies, this is a palette cleanser to just roll with, it’s a great time spent. I didn’t even mention that all the animals are just people in costumes. That makes it even better considering the nonsense we see. If you get a chance to see it in the settings I mentioned, definitely go for that setting. My rating: 6 out of 10.
