Le jour du massacre

As it is based on a true story , they really wasted the opportunity to make a great horror film. The actors are real amateurs with no talent in acting and also the quality of sound and visual effects really suck for a late 80's movie.

Like the sound of the snake attacking harry in bedroom is childishly made by some guy's mouth which's strange, and they even didn't bother record the sounds of actors and actresses and lazily did a dubbing on the film!!

Anyway a remake could be a great chance to make a great hell of a movie for any director if taken... " ThisisJimik " Jamal Kianifar.

This is rather an odd tale of a guy who has severe mental problems. Based on a true story, it documents his decline from being the best mechanic at a garage to complete nutcase who sees delusions all day long and imagines voices in his head. Unable to cope with the stress of slowly losing his sanity and being alienated by everyone around him, he walks into a coffee shop one day and promptly blows 36 people away. The films attempts to explain how he got in that state in the first place.

For utter strangeness this movie is hard to beat. In the big build up to the events at the end, our deranged protagonist amongst other things: Has conversations with his squeaky-voiced homicidal teddy-bear about who to kill next, is attacked by noisy hissing snakes while in bed, plays Russian Roulette with a trio of toughs who try to beat him up, walks into a church service singing Hallejuah wearing nothing but a Bible over his privates and opens up what he thinks is a suitcase full of diamonds only to find.. well, watch it, and you'll see for yourself.

A surreal experience indeed, but not an unpleasant one. It is funny on more than one occasion (mainly due to other character's reactions to our hero's bizarre behaviour) and is strengthened by a brilliantly loopy leading performance by Raymond Elendorf. You can't help but feel for him, as his cries for help are ignored and when his lady psychiatrist is constantly rebuffed in her attempts to aid him by her uncaring colleagues. Perhaps if they'd been less worried about being sued than human life, this tragedy would never have happened.

Some elements of the plot don't add up (like how he is given the machine gun which was responsible for the massacre) and the depiction of mental illness is a bit far-fetched to say the least. Overall though, this is a very interesting watch if nothing else and well worth the quid I paid for it. 5/10

Your average neighborhood coffee shop is the scene of a massacre; then, the story shifts to one Raymond Elmendorf (as Harry Curtis). Mr. Elmendorf is employed as an automobile mechanic; but, he can't "make things fit anymore." Unable to repair a car, the newly unemployed Elmendorf attends a church service in the buff. Society doesn't appreciate his public exhibition, and Elmendorf is locked up. He begins to see sexy psychiatrist Pamela Baker (as Dr. Johnson)…

The best scenes occur after Elmendorf is released as an outpatient, and moves into an eerily photographed apartment building (with his madness). He is terrified by monsters from the Id, and punks from the street. Gilhuis/Ryan do some psycho creepy stuff. Jeff O'Haco (as Animal) has a nice pool hall scene. Wife Teresa Mae Allen (as Elaine) has a sexy scene (which turns ugly, of course).

If "Bloody Wednesday" was supposed to show how this man could massacre people in a coffee shop, it misfires.

Bizarre film from the same guy that brought us Night Train to Terror, this movie is about a guy who is friends with a talking bear. He sees a bunch of weird stuff in a hotel (kind of like The Shining... VERY MUCH like The Shining, in fact) and then he sort of goes insane for no apparent reason. The climax of the film is the tagline to the movie, so it's no surprise that he kills almost 40 people, also for no apparent reason. Odd film that goes nowhere and is pretty much unmemorable after you get done watching it.

However, I really enjoyed myself as I watched it, and it definitely held my interest. It's not really a confusing film, and it's loaded with tons of good scenes: The main character shows up naked to church in the beginning of the movie. That scene alone is priceless. Though I liked this film, it'd be difficult to recommend it; I have no idea who else would like a film like this. You might as well check it out, but the ending has already been ruined for you.

At 1st I didn't think I could finish this. But then after a while I just started cracking up at a how bad the acting was and it actually was kind of enjoyable.
