Memorable, crazy movie

Boring

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of those movies that looks promising. But it really lets that promise down. It's neither good or bad good (in the campy sense), merely very very boring. And that's how a film really fails.The apparent aim was to make a campy sort of movie - you have a cast of ridiculous characters seemingly out of various animated comedies like Sealab, King of the Hill and possibly South Park. You have one bald guy who likes to dress like a priest, another guy who wears army fatigues (and looks like the guy who mutters from King of the Hill), a goofy Science Teacher, another bald guy who wears a deck of cards on his arm.The trouble is, none of the concepts really works. All of the actors play their roles too tightly, and it comes off as more pretentious than anything else. The only exception would be the campus cop leader.The plot apparently revolves around a romantic dispute over a guy in drag. This was when I started putting the DVD player on "x4". Nothing much happens, but near the end we get sort of a surreal sort of fight with a guy painted blue and wearing a helmet and everyone else.

This is a pretty funny film. It is very strange almost like a Cronenberg Film but with a lot more humor. It's a cult film in the deepest sense of the meaning so honestly if you don't like cult films stay the heck away. On the other hand you like Camp Horror and action all rolled into one this is your film. The stories a little confusing here and there but it's really more about the characters, their interaction. It's a cool concept something like back yard super hero's or something like that. You can tell it had a low budget but it has great costumes and sets like the well. For such a small film it's leaps and bounds above other shoe string films. It's worth a rental, worth a rental indeed.

Look...I have seen the movie and I was pleasantly surprised! I heartily disagree with a previous negative comment regarding the film. The film makers have created an original and quite amusing piece of work. These adventures are what gritty, classic, cult favorites are made of. This is an amazing achievement for the film making trio. The Land of College Prophets is apparently their third feature length film, which is more than most twenty-something film makers can boast, and on a very tight budget I might add! It's unique flavor may not be to everyone's liking but you would be doing yourself a great disservice to not have a taste. :) A fun romp for moviegoers seeking action, adventure, mischief and mayhem...with a side of funny.

The movie begins with Tommy(Thomas Edward Seymour) carrying Rye(Philip Guerette)through Syne Hollow, an ancient forest and battle ground.The Voice of Tommy is heard describing events leading up to this moment and why they are considered 'College Prophets'.We meet the cast of characters in a blaze of comic book glory, introducing each character as if they were an Action figure. Jonah Joe( Russ Russo )is introduced heading up the bad guy unit of the film. Third Reich Jones(Champion Bodybuilder,Paul DeSimone)is also introduced as English being his second language.The film takes us through Robinson College where these broods study in the town of Pharisee,nice biblical reference, not to mention, the priest's cloak worn by the lead character Tommy throughout the entire film.We enter a world where an Evil wishing well called 'The Well that ate Children' exists almost a living,breathing force.It is awoken by the battle between Tommy and Rye over Tommy's girlfriend Bells(Tina Angelillo).The Well recruits its minions including Third Reich Jones, Billy and Million to rid the town of all that exists and feed the well its dead.A battle between the forces of man and nature.Sometimes all that man can do is.........fix its own mistakes...in the land of college prophets.
