Rish Outfield's reviews
This is among the worst films I have ever seen, and easily is THE WORST one
done for this page. It was so terrible that tyranist and I could not continue
watching it. . . after the first ten minutes. Sometimes a film will be a
ripoff of another, sometimes it will be simplistic and juvenile, sometimes it
will use the cheapest means to illicit scares or reactions from the
audience--but never this much. Never this low. This is beyond the stupidest,
the weakest, the lowest budget, the least-interesting, and least-scary ever.
This awful film is so terrible, even the Great And Holy Internet Movie
Database does not list it. Stay away. This made Splatter University look
like On the Waterfront.
Best Scare: Realizing that we had paid money to see this.
I'd Recommend It To: NO ONE. Please, do not take these words in any way as encouraging you to see it, not even as a joke.
Editor's Note: The IMDb has since added this movie to their database.
The tyranist's thoughts
Abysmal. For the few of you that are interested in this particular horror subgenre I can only say, "Stay away." There
is nothing redeemable about this movie. It simply fails to deliver on any level. It looks a lot like the movies I shot
with my little brothers when I was ten. Horrible lack of plot, completely non-threatening environment, the worst ending
you could possible have. Just don't see it. Even for bad horror film fans, this one is masochism.
Low budget doesn't automatically offend me. A bad script doesn't automatically offend me. Bad acting doesn't automatically
offend me. If I can find at least one redeeming quality in a movie then oftentimes I will dwell on that and try to forget
how bad much of it was. There are a lot of movies that lack redeeming qualities, but none that I have ever seen lack even
sort of interesting qualities. This is the only movie I have ever willingly watched on fas-forward the first time I saw it.
No nudity, abominable dialogue, terrible acting, the worst plot imaginable. There simply wasn't anything to this movie. The
good news is that it is only 80 minutes long and can be watched on fast forward in under a half an hour for those of you
who are as obsessive as us.
