The comedy aspects aren't remotely funny, there is no tension, no suspense, no excitement, pants cgi, poor production values, I could go on.
It's not even so bad it's good, it's so bad it's painful.
There is nothing redeeming about this film.
I will allow the film 1 out of 10 because the film-makers,on a low budget, at least had a go at it - they failed.
I was the only person that managed to sit through it until the end - the other viewers left my lounge - it didn't even have enough about it for them to watch and ridicule how bad it was!
I am now two hours closer to the end of my life and these film-makers are responsible for that wasted time.
Possibly the worst film I have ever seen and I generally enjoy watching B-Movie junk. How anyone can give this anything other than 2/10 I can't comprehend - I can only assume that they have suffered a traumatic head injury or a lobotomy.
After seeing this i just wanna punch myself in the face for renting it, but i had some good laugh (due the bad acting) and because of that i rate it 2/10. And i apologize for bad spelling.
At the time of writing, there are *nine* 10/10 reviews. There's just the fact SIX of them are totally fake, two of them are possibly fake and the ninth, unless fake, is completely wrong. The proof? Well, out of the group of six fakes, there are *three* from UK, submitted between 27 Jun 2008 and 4 Jul 2008, and the other *three* from US, submitted between 7 Apr 2011 and 4 May 2011. ALL SIX reviewers have reviewed *only* this movie. That amounts to just too much convenient "coincidental" timing to be believable, the logical conclusion being that these six reviews are written by people affiliated with this "production". Occam's Razor, people! Of the two possibly fake reviews, one reviewer has only three reviews on IMDb and the other one has six. The ninth reviewer has 30 reviews, but then again, they may not understand the concept of a review. My question to the group of six (or three with two IMDb accounts each) reviewers is: How stupid do you think people are?
OK, I now actually get to do the review proper, but it will be short. The "script" is primary school grade. The "acting" is primary school grade. The term "directing" doesn't even apply here. The "cinematography" is just a crime against all proper cinematographers and the almost omnipresent blue-screen work is atrocious. It's so incredibly horrible that at least once a minute one has to watch away before it becomes unbearable, since the "editing" is so sluggish it offers no variety. As someone who doesn't judge anyone hastily, I did indeed endure this "movie" from start to finish. If you haven't, for your sanity's sake, please avoid this garbage. A rare *true* 1/10 "movie", with no redeeming values whatsoever. Watch Bad Taste instead to see how Classic ultra-low budget horror comedy is made.
Trust me, I am not someone who takes these films too seriously, after all, 'Troll 2' is one of my fav films. But this film isn't even bad enough to be "so bad it's good"
BOOOOOO this title!!!!!
The first half hour is nothing but close-ups of their face. The camera is practically shoved into their face. Even in a conversation, they'd have nothing but shots of their face. Even if they were running, they'd have shots of their face, a 2 second shot of their back, then back again to freakishly close shots of their face.
You can't even rely on the gore in the movie, because most of it isn't shown, and if it is, it looks so fake, there's no way you can get scared.
In the first part of the film, it was so obvious they used green screen. The lines were blurred, the scenes looked fake, it was like I was watching a Disney movie. Except I would have rather watched a Disney.
An hour in, and the movie was still playing. By this time, no one was watching except me so I can make an accurate review. At this point, it's nothing but running, violence that's not really violence, screaming and hitting.
You'd have to completely pay attention to this movie in order to understand what it's about but it's hard to even watch it for ten minutes.
This movie was so bad, I would have called it a comedy if not for the fact that it was put in the horror section of the movie rentals. Except, even the humour sucked so either way, it's a bad comedy and a bad horror film.
