I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Don't Believe the Hype
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Let it be known, that I enjoy bad movies. I really do. I am an actor, and screenwriter, and have many talented film-making friends. A few of us truly enjoy watching bad movies due to their skill in teaching us how not to make bad movies. But I am afraid I must speak candidly about this "Motion Picture" (for lack of a better term). This is the single worst picture that has ever been projectile vomited onto the silver screen. Within the course of my good friend and I watching this film, we were stunned at the sheer "Badness" of the picture. Keep in mind this is not "Bad" as in Michael Jackson's "Bad", but "Bad" as in: maggots eating a delicious decaying corpse would actually stop gorging themselves, stare in unbelief at the television screen and instantly learn the English language just to be able to say "Please someone kill me now". My friend and I actually lost all of our talents & abilities for a short time watching this movie. We were actually so sapped of strength, that we forgot how to make movies, or how to act or how to create anything because the "Black Hole" of all bad movies had risen in our midst and we began to be stretched out into pencil thin rails as we were slowly and systematically obliterated from existence. The only thing that saved us was the shared experience of seeing the pinnacle of bad movies. Even wading through the immense landfill of "Hammer" films we realized that they could never compare to what was happening to us at that moment in time. At the very least Hammer films are entertaining. They at least gave us something to laugh at until we couldn't keep food down. Please do not get me wrong. This movie must be applauded for its sheer Ability to destroy anyone who watches it. They have succeeded in making a film that realistically could kill you in 7 days if you watch it too long. I gave it a rating of 1 only because -1 was not an option that was given to me.
Oh my GOD! I actually like crappy horror movies, I go out of my way to get them, but THIS.... THIS went too far into the deep realm of low budget film making.THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS VERY MILD SPOILERS OK, I watched this film for about half an hour before thinking, "Why am I watching this crap?" And completely domalishing this "Movie". I'm just curious, was I the only one who almost died laughing at the bullet "effect"? It looked like an 8 year old drew a circle, made it gradually shrink, and then make the screen tint random colors for a few minutes... Wait... that IS what happened! The Original wasn't bad. I managed to watch it all the way through. It was actually decent. But man... This was completely terrible. PLEASE listen to me, DO NOT RENT/BUY THIS!!! DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE THAT I DID!!!! Thanks for your time that you could have spent watching the first 2 minutes of this film, realizing that I was so right.
I gave this movie a 1 because you were not able to give it a zero, the dialogue is terrible and the acting is worse, The kill scenes were pathetic and I feel sorry for anyone who actually had to sit through this movie. The plot line made no sense and the movie didn't really come together very well at the end. There were only like 7 characters in the whole movie and they don't even really introduce them at all. Usually I like these cheap, cheesy horror movies but this is a big exception for that. Just a horrible movie and only watch it if you have to.p.s Terrible
First of all there are good movies, bad ones, and those in between...this falls in the bad category. The plot is as wobbly as a bowl of Jello... it falls apart from the very start. Tony Todd the veteran actor whom portrayed CANDYMAN is the only well known here and is also an associate producer of the film. With this film I think Todd jumped into a pool of sharks, so to speak as this is the worst movie he has been involved in yet.Complete with bad acting and faces you'll soon forget, this film has all the things that equal bad. The Scarecrow costume by Todd Rex returns and so does he as the Scarecrow...but this time, it doesn't seem so cool anymore as it did in "Scarecrow" The blood and CGI is some of the worst in film history, I had thought i'd seen bad but certainly not as bad as this.The only face i'd like to remember from this is Tamie Sheffield, as she is beautiful and was once a pro wrestler by the name of "Sandy" in the all female federation WOW. She has since starred in movies such as Jim Wynorski's CHEERLEADER MASSACRE.As for Tony Todd, I certainly hope he can resurrect his career to what it once was I hear there's a 3rd film...i'm almost afraid to check it out.Rick Blalock
