Lost Souls

Seeing this back in the ol' college days reminded me about how worthless college TV was. A bunch of snobbish college broadcasting students working on high caffeine and pathethic writing comes up with stuff like this. Can you suspend disbelief a million miles up? Is bad digital effects your cup of tea? This is your cake then, people. Boy, this stuff is BAD. The few times I did watch poor ol' "Moore Hall TV" I fought with my friends tooth and nail to flip that station back on PBS! Hmmmm let's take a minute to look at the requirements for this site, for one thing. I thought stuff shown on Public access TV wasn't accepted on here. MHTV=PUBLIC ACCESS. Local cable, folks. They'd show local schoolboard meetings LIVE for Cryin' out loud! "Lost Souls" and other tripe ground out by Matthew 'Should" Schutt-UP! should be tossed into the nearest recycle bin. Go watch the sun rise, go watch the paint on the walls dry. Much more engaging.

Holy hell, I remember this show from my days back in college at Central Michigan University. I remember seeing Matthew Schutt in person, and wondered how one man could make such a terrible, terrible 'mini-series'. Come on, all college students are not drunk, two brain-celled simpletons who can garner hours of entertainment by trying to count all the cracks in the walls. "Lost Souls" is entertainment in name only, a badly acted, shoddily filmed, poorly produced, videotaped train-wreck of a show which served only to hold back the careers of all involved. It scares me now to see someone with such questionable talent as Schutt now is making films out in Hollywood. I guess Steven Spielberg can breathe a sigh of relief, for he doesn't need to feel threatened.

This is a great indie series. Done by college students with absolutely no budget -- this series shows what talent really is. Shown across the US on public access, it has gained an underground following. If you get a chance, definately check it out!

I remember seeing this when I was a student at CMU. I thought it was pretty funny...like silly funny. If you are a cold hearted cynic you would probably just think it was stupid but I think most people would find it entertaining. I remember it was hilarious to watch with friends because we were all drinking and in a good mood. I really liked some of the characters...the "Shakespearan Actor" guy was a funny character as so was the "Gorilla suit guy". By funny I mean funny in a ridiculous sort of way. The show had some dramatic parts but I thought even those parts were kind of funny. I bet the previous person only really saw 5 minutes of one episode and there were (I think) 6 one hour long shows.

If you've ever seen the original "Evil Dead", and laughed, then this movie is for you. Yes there is ham acting and schticks galore, but that is what makes it fun! Also, the fact that it was done by a group of undergraduate college students from Michigan, just adds to experience.

I recommend it.
