Pumaman

About This Movie

Pumaman is a curious mix of action and sci-fi, a real gem from the 80s that showcases the era's unique charm. Directed by Alberto De Martino, it spins an odd tale about a man-god with a gold mask that can control minds. The pacing is at times uneven, but the strange atmosphere is thick with an almost campy quality. The practical effects have that lovely low-budget feel—no CGI here, just good old-fashioned creativity. Performances range from earnest to downright peculiar, and you can't help but be drawn into its bizarre narrative. It’s a film that embodies the spirit of its time, with a blend of mythology and urban adventure that feels both dated and oddly fresh.
