The Chosen One: Legend of the Raven

Oh what a waste of tape. The movie was supremely wretched, yet not bad in a way that is funny. The only redeeming feature for pieces of dreck such as this is that usually they feature lots of hard, naked bodies. But no such luck here. You'll get almost as much skin watching an episode of "Days of Our Lives," plus the soap offers much better writing, acting and direction. Unless you really enjoy watching a fully-clothed Carmen Electra being chased through the woods by redneck drunks, skip this thing.

Sometimes, stories are so crazy and dumb that you can wonder how they have been imagined and how people agree to do the movie. Just read the summary here and you will find a wonderful example. But when you reach this such low level, it's also great opportunities to open meditation. In a way, I take this mystic bad movie as a modern fairy tale and it can become interesting: here, the setting is thus really great as it's the wild California: woods, hills nearly left away of civilization… The native American lore is well done and this arched house is beautiful.. At last, Carmen and Shauna arouse also interest because beyond, there is nothing more: the characters are bad, the scenes are useless and at the end, it's more like a very cheap super heroes movie than a mystic struggle very inspired by the Mumbo Jumbo of SW, the dark side, the chosen one, etc

This film was lame. I didn't visit IMDB for reviews, I just rented it to see Carmen and Shauna. They are both very lovely ladies but they could not save this film by themselves. The acting was worse than what I saw in a high school play. The plot didn't seem to have any guidance. The only thing this has going for it is the gorgeous ladies. There was some feeble attempt to make this seem like a movie about a Native American legend. Sorry folks, it doesn't wash. Carmen Electra does not appear to be even slightly Native American. The goofy, dumb redneck types are slightly believable, and in a sad way almost humorous. I am sure there are better ways to spend your time than to watch this one unless you are absolutely smitten by Carmen or Shauna Sand or Debra Xavier. I rate this as 1/10

I really can't believe this one. This made me want to shove my head in the nearest toilet and drown myself. I didn't, because then I knew I would die in the same place this movie belongs! When I saw this was a Troma picture, I should have stopped the tape right there. But, alas, I pressed on, and lost 100 minutes of my life that could have been used to do something better, and anything would have been better, trust me.

The one or two people who have read any of my previous reviews would know that I usually take a moment to describe a plot at this time, but "The Chosen One" has a plot which is beyond description. Actually, I think the film-makers made things up as they went along. Nothing made sense! Of course, that went well with the worst actors and actresses you'll ever see! What disturbs me most is that someone actually got paid to make this mess. The producers probably flew over the cuckoo's nest, because this bird-brained "Raven" should be locked in an atrium forever. Zanatos's score: 1/10...but I would rate it lower if I could. Ugh.

Please don't watch this movie. It's not even an "interesting" horrible, like Troma's other works ("Killer Tomatoes" and "Toxic Avenger"). It's just horrible. Even fans of the "actress" Carmen Electra won't be amused with the amazingly unconvincing "stunt" doubles.
