La venganza del reportero radiactivo

Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I saw it announced in the TV Guide so I taped it and I found out just how bad it was. Unless you're making a Movie Cheesefest, don't watch this (if you can FIND the movie)!

This movie is so cheap I can't believe the Canadian government gave a subvention to these people to make such a lame picture.

The script is poor. Predictable, cheesy, boring, and the jokes are not even funny. It's a about a reporter who finds out that the local nuclear power plant board of directors is poisoning the environment, and he threatens to reveal their little evil conspiracy to the media, but before he does, the evil director throws him in a pool of radioactive waste. But miraculously, he survives and becomes a superhuman being with radioactive powers, killing the power plant's employees one by one. Seen that before.

The actors are the worst it can possibly get. I'm glad it was the only movie Kathryn Boese (Richelle) was into, because I honestly never saw a worst actress. Randy Pearlstein also doesn't deliver, proving that he has no experience in acting.

If you look closely during the movie, you can see some Dollar Store props, like the foot left behind when Tony Trouble gets eaten up by the giant monkey (yes you heard me right). It just shows you how bad this movie is.

So basically, everything about this movie, the script, the actors, the plot, the sets, the props, the cinematography, the music, sucked. It should be shown at movie schools for people never to make something that bad again.

The Master T Score: 1/2 out of 5 Stars (for entertainment)

This film could be enjoyed by viewers who are 10 and older. Revenge Of The Radioactive Reporter contains enough gore and humor to be OK for the pre-teen and teen late night get-togethers. It is a party film, so don't expect any real acting nor any great scripts nor any great film. I was surprised though, that since I like horror films, that I liked this silly movie. Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter kept my interests enough without having to be glued to my seat. In fact, if you leave and come back, you miss nothing. The movie does contain some decent effects as well as some gore. The Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter does deliver entertainment for those in a silly mood -- there is where this horror film meets its expectations. Popcorn and pizza all around. Fun, smiles, and scares are in this film. I give two thumbs up.

This is a weird movie, it isn't a horror but it do says what the title says, it is a revenge by a reporter being so-called killed but he survives the toxic waist and returns as a deformed human, does it rings a bell, Toxic Avenger anyone? The two main leads, David Scammell and Kathryn Boese are unknown actors and disappeared in obscurity after this flick as almost all actors in this feature. I said it before, it isn't a horror even as the sleeve shows gore. It is more a comedy with a lot of one-liners and funny situations. But the movie became hunted down due the director Craig Pryce better known for so many series he directed, this was his first full feature. It do contains a lot of really good effects and some are indeed nasty and gory. A reason why some horror aficionado's do hunt for this rather easy to find on PAL and NTSC vid.

Don't read the negative reviews given by other people. I have seen this film many times. The plot is well suited to the title of the film, as it is all about revenge. There is similarity here with films like Dead Heat and Vindicator.

The Plot is this: a reporter sets out to uncover the unsafe conditions at the nearby nuclear power plant. He talks to the director of the power plant and tells him of his findings. The director tells him that there is no problem and leads him personally on an inspection tour of the plant.

Deliberately while the reporter is off-guard, the director pushes him into a pool of radioactive toxic waste. The director is very happy at his smart disposal of the annoying reporter.

However the reporter is still very much alive, and thirsting for revenge against the director. What happens next has to be seen to be believed.....

Excellent make-up effects and good gore and action to quench horror fans. Ghoulish humor galore in this film as it is a horror-comedy genre film but it turns into a serious affair towards the end and our sympathies turn towards the poor reporter.

I highly recommend this film for those of you who have not watched it.

Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter enters in that category of movies that are so awfully bad, they are incredibly funny... Everything about this movie is absolutely ridiculous, starting with the title and ending with the ridiculous ending. Sometimes, the script is so incoherent you can't follow the story, which is so stupid you will want to cry... The acting doesn't help either. The actors deliver their (ridiculous) lines with the conviction of a dead hamster(that's not a lot). Some of the scenes are incredibly weird, including the scenes where the radioactive reporter(can you imagine such a stupid idea as a RADIOACTIVE REPORTER???) dreams about some kind of freak show... Was their a point to this sequence? The scenario makes absolutely no sense. Also, the special effects(or, to quote Hardware Wars, the special defects) are very cheap... The elephant man is one of the most ridiculous costumes in movie history, and that radioactive reporter isn't very convincing either. A lack of suspense where there is supposed to be some is also remarkable... How could somebody have made such a bad movie while trying to be serious is absolutely mind-boggling... This movie is one of the worst ever...

5% from a serious point of view, 100% from the cheese-o-meter's point of view...
