All Girls Weekend

A solid contender for a spot in the top 10 worst movies I've ever seen - and I watch a lot of low-budget indie productions, particularly in the horror genre.

Combining the worst of a Blair Witch vibe with wooden acting and an utterly banal script and characters so paper-thin it's surprising they can stand, "All Girls Weekend" makes The Human Centipede look like it deserves an Oscar in comparison.

I saw in another review, this movie allegedly had a $1million budget - I find that hard to believe. I don't know, but if it's true it was a staggering waste of money and I can't fathom what they even spent it on.

The set is a small section of woods outdoors, save a couple of brief shots right at the start in a hotel room and a room in an abandoned building later on. The lighting, effects and production quality are all at a level you'd expect from a shoestring budget amateur production.

The plot is threadbare and what little is there doesn't make sense. Without putting in any spoilers (not that you could "spoil" this awful movie for anyone) - at one point there's a bit where there's a shot of a bear that is possibly stock footage, seeing as you don't see it in a shot with any of the cast.

Please don't waste your time with this. It was horrific, but not horror. I don't know what else to say.

The premise is reasonable but the acting was terrible. The emotions of all the characters was very "canned". I would compare the quality of the acting to that of a middle school play. I hung in there until the end just to see the whole point of the story. It was pretty much a waste of time although luckily I didn't have anything else to do at the time anyway.

Slow. Ass-pulled storyline. Tedious. Annoying. Gets three stars because for a while, it was "what will happen next?" Then, I stopped caring what would happen next, because I didn't like any of the characters. Also the villain was some supernatural force, which did things; but had no discernable manifestation. So, anything could happen, and still fit into this anything-goes storyline. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site.

Assuming you've read the other reviews on this page, I'm skipping all the diatribe about that the budget was supposedly $1,000,000. Yes, for that amount of money this should have been much better. However, as a low budget, bare-bones horror film, it really wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I have certainly seen worse films with better reviews. The story is simple, yet ambitious, and if it fails to live up to that ambition, well...better luck next time.

The editing was iffy, the acting spotty (sometimes decent, sometimes bad), but the location is visually appealing and little things made it somewhat enjoyable to watch, if only once. I won't use spoilers, but the progression of the second-to-main character is actually fairly subtle and interesting. If you watch the beginning and the end you'll see what I mean.

In sum, is this a great film? No. Is it the worst possible film ever made? No. I found it on YouTube and the comments there are much more forgiving, perhaps because they didn't read these reviews first.

You know how there is this pretense upon which we call feature length pictures which are important or exceptionally good "films", those that are merely entertaining "movies", and those that are neither "videos"? We need another name for this caliber of picture. Whatever this should be called, it is an example of the worst stuff available in that category. One of the actors is barely intelligible. All of the actors performances are stilted and feel disjointed from sentence to sentence. I don't think one could even watch this ironically. Even with MST3K voice overs you wouldn't be able to enjoy it. There are plenty of examples of better produced content on YouTube which didn't even have budgets, directors, writers, or even actors really.
