A Popeye horror movie? Seriously?

I know Popeye the Sailor is entering the public domain next year, but ffs, they're going to make a slasher film out of it? Yeah, the whole turning innocent childhood cartoon icons into serial killers thing got old very quickly just last year when they did Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. The shock value of that generated enough interest to make that movie a financial success, but all it ended up being was a boring, generic slasher flick with the only thing setting itself apart from the rest is it being based on Winnie-the-Pooh. Which, in hindsight, just made it incredibly stupid. The shock value is gone. Come up with something more creative than a frickin' slasher movie, for crying out loud!
I say if you must make a violent R-rated movie based on Popeye the Sailor, make it an action movie. A bloody, over-the-top action flick of Popeye beating the crap out of people. It would certainly make more sense than him being a killer who stalks an abandoned spinach factory. So lame!
