The Worst Film Ever

Overrated

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.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

93 minutes. 6045 heartbeats. 325.5 breaths. All these moments are forever lost in time. My IQ is down by 37%. It all comes down to a hideous retelling of some aspect of the Lizzie Borden tale, except this time someone gets squirted by Gary Busey. Yeah, do the math there. Busey's performance was dull and weak compared to his brilliant acting in "Wild in the Streets" (1968, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063808/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_163 ), which says a lot about the direction in this botched aneurysm of a movie. Sean Flynn is turning in his grave, as it seems pretty insulting that this production was dedicated to his memory. Perhaps he had amnesia. I would have enjoyed watching C-SPAN over this tripe. Spare yourself some torment and skip this movie, it's too late for me...

I had this movie in my watch list for some time and had avoided watching it after reading all of the negative reviews. I eventually decided to give it a go and it was much better than I expected.Everyone is saying the acting is really bad, I disagree. A couple of lines throughout the movie were delivered poorly but they were few and far between. I would rate the acting better than average as I have seen some real stinkers.The story is another thing that seems to be getting a bashing. The story was what kept me watching. It isn't a retelling of the Lizzie Borden murders as some seem to think, they simply used the original story and expanded on it. There was nothing that I didn't understand after the movie finished and nothing disjointed about the story.This is a well done, interesting B movie. I am a B movie aficionado and this sits well in the middle of the pack.

Brilliant comedy! It starts off with an overly dramatic male voice reading a whimsically rhyming "true story" that had my family in giggles within minutes. The entire title sequence is an amusingly corny montage of "creepy" imagery and music and ending with an off-key chorus of "creepy" voices, and the entire movie just gets funnier from there. It's an over- the-top parody of a horror movie combined with some kind of dramatic soap opera. The cheesy dialogue, questionable continuity, utter lack of characterization, and hilarious overacting really make this film one of the greatest I have ever seen. My family and I were all in tears from laughing so hard, and not even halfway through the movie. I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants a good laugh with dinner!((Seriously though...this movie is truly awful. Yes, I was literally in tears from laughing so hard and I actually do recommend it if you've got the sense of humor for it.))

So, on a whim, I decided to rent this from Redbox, since my husband and I love watching unpopular films and we love horror/thrillers. I have to say, this is the absolute worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Oh, where to start...Let's start with the horrid cinematography. Now, normally, this aspect of a movie doesn't bother me -- mostly because I'm no movie purist and I can get behind some shoddy film scenes. But this was just bad. There were random film shots of irrelevant things, such as when the protagonist/antagonist is going outside the house with the cable guy. Before showing her walking outside, there is a brief glimpse of a tree... nothing else. Just a tree. Not only that, but the tree choppily faded out. What was even the point? There was no relevance, no scenic value, no point. Not to mention, the cheap angles to try to make the axe murders more gruesome (which actually just made them more laughable). The scenes weren't contiguous, didn't flow and there didn't even seem to be a proper order to the scenes.Now, the special effects.. again, normally I don't base the value of a movie on this.. but there were scenes where I think someone just used a ketchup bottle to squirt red corn syrup around... such as in one of the final murder scenes where Lizzie's father is being brutally slain by his wife (and incarnate of Lizzie Borden), you couldn't see his face, but blood shot upward in a squirty like fashion, which is neither plausible or realistic.Then, there was the acting.. for the most part, it wasn't absolute trash, but I feel bad for the cast as they were stuck with poorly written lines. However, there is a memorable moment, where Lizzie looked like Edvard Munch's "The Scream" as her former self was killed on a tricycle by the Lizzie Borden incarnate. No one actually grabs their face and screams while smooshing their cheeks against their lips.Finally, the golden gem of poop in this movie.. the script. You know there is issue with a script if you're laughing at the lines in a horror film. I think for the first half of the movie, the only lines were, "Jason! Jason! Where are you?!". And then at some point, the lines might have had some substance. But my husband and I were lost when Lizzie witnesses the maid Maggie being raped by the old guy. The old man insinuates something about his child being a lesbian, which I didn't understand.. then after raping the maid, he proclaims, "I squirted you, now yer carrying my baby.". I think I actually laughed so hard I peed myself. Squirted? Really? Squirted? Back to the ketchup bottles...Just don't waste your money on this film, unless you want to make fun of it or make it some sort of drinking game.
