The Worst Film Ever

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

To prove there is a film worse than anything by Ed Wood, more horrendous than Tha' Hip Hop Witch or Manos one need only watch this abomination. The aforementioned films can at least be enjoyed with copious alcohol or MST3k episodes, Ankle Biters is beyond saving with either method. I've seen many many bad films in my time but most have some sort of saving grace: maybe the script is actually okay or the director has one or two neat things or there is one semi-talented actor or even the "so bad it's funny" factor comes into play. Even when films don't have any of those factors they at least have heart. Again not so with Ankle Biters. I was promised midget vampires and schlocky fun. As soon as my friend said midget vampires I was there ready for a rollicking good time I mean dwarfs and vampires together at last AWESOME!!! little did I know how wrong I was. Avoid at all costs unless you are an aspiring film maker who just needs a "if he can do it and get it on DVD so can I" kick in the pants.

As soon as I bought this for 2 bucks and noticed the tape was yellow, I suspected I was in for a ride. Little did I know that I would be spending over an hour laughing at this movie, and everything wrong with it. It looks like it was filmed with a handy-cam, and the only microphone used was the one ON the camera. I mean, the whole idea is just stupid: ankle-biting-blood-sucking dwarf vampires??? (that line was straight off the back of the box, by the way) Either the lines are too loud or too quiet to be heard. Some lines, like the Old Guy's opening line in the first scene with the sword, have a mixture of too quiet/too loud, because the 'actor' turned their body. Some of the lines just sound funny, like when the girl is telling the police that midgets are stabbing her brother with a sword.Most of the lines were terribly performed, and there are many things the directors left in the movie that are ridiculous. One example of this is when the police show up at the car garage... not only are they both screaming opposite commands simultaneously, ("freeze! hands up!" and "get on the floor") but when they pull into the garage, the car bottoms out hardcore... you'd think the directors would have at least taken the audio out since the only relevant sound was the police siren.Many of the attack scenes follow a similar format: midgets show up, the victims say "where'd you come from", they show their teeth, they bite the victim's ankles, the victim dies. Very redundant and anticlimactic after a while.Point blank, I make better movies than this with my 8MM camera... I give it a 2 for effort.Oh, and I love how the main character's name is Drexel... and so is the Editor's. (any correlation, perhaps?)

This is quite possibly the BEST BAD film in the World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The exceptional use of the never before used theory of midget Vampires was truly awful. As a collector of awful films I found myself in awe at this masterpiece of disaster and am still wondering to this day how anyone would deem it worthy of either its time as an actor or as the backstage crew. Furthermore to the person who decided this movie was worthy of release I am truly grateful as it has become the centre piece and jewel in the crown of my collection. The main character seems to be confused as to whether he is Angel or Blade and manages to fall superbly short of both at every action scene, every piece of dialogue and just through sheer lack of ability. Truly Awful A MUST SEE!!

This movie only cost $500 to make. For someone to get a small movie like that distributed world wide seems like a pretty big accomplishment. I think he is smart for coming up with a pretty catchy title and exploiting midgets, therefore not only getting a rather extremely poor made film released, but getting ALL of us to rent it.
