I really didn't like this film~!!!! it was boring and didn't interest me that much at all.. i'm more of an action girl, and it had NONE. i went and rented this movie because of the other comment that was left.. but was totally mislead! don't get this movie unless you like the dessert and plenty of boredom. i just reall... | 0neg | I really didn't like this movie. I am not a big fan of the series and this movie made it even worse. The new character was annoying (not to mention dumb) and the original characters were even worse. The only good thing about this movie was the new actor (the black one). That guy has potential and should have been used ... | I really didn't like this so-called comedy, at least, not enough to remember it. The film is based on a series of novels by author Eric Kaplan, with the exception of Eric's character, who is played by James Woods, who had been in several of Kaplan's book versions: The Bonfire, The Man Who Came From the Sea, The Golden ... |
I've got 10 plus year old computer games with better special effects! Plot is choppy and very predictable. Most of the actors seem like extras with no experience! Everyone has Scottish accents. It's like watching a crew of 'Scotties' from Star Trek without the personality or charm. Needless scenes of people putting up ... | 0neg | I've got 10 plus year old VHS tapes of my father and his friends doing standup. It's hysterical, they all talk about being in L.A. looking for work and the frustration of never getting it. But that's funny too.<br /><br />I watched this film (from the video store) thinking I will love it. And I did. I can relate to the... | I've got 10 plus year old children who are in a stage of life where they're looking at each other like "this is cool!" and "what's the big deal about THAT?!?" so when a buddy of mine in the film biz bought us this video, my oldest child and I took it with a bit of trepidation into our study, and I could see from their ... |
This movie was awful, plain and simple! The animation scenes had absolutely terrible graphics. It was VERY clear to see that this film had about the budget of my grocery bill!! The acting was just as bad.. I've seen better acting in pornographic films. I would seriously like the hour and twenty minutes of my life back.... | 0neg | This movie was awful, plain and simple. I can't believe my sister bought a ticket for this piece of s**t film. It's so badly acted, the direction is non-existent and everything about it screams of "make it quick, make it easy, make it low budget".<br /><br />This was advertised as some kind of horror film, but there is... | This movie was awful, plain and simple. I wanted to scream at all the bad things about it. But in the end I guess every "thriller" has it's own special kind of crap. The acting was horrible, and the direction was horrendous. It must have been the most boring movie I have ever seen. It was like watching a really bad tra... |
I pride myself in being able to sit through everything. I think "if I've paid the rental fee, then I'm going to at least watch it". I have found the exception to this rule- The Planet. I don't know what the exchange rate is, but reading through the other comments I can only guess that £8000 must be around $150. I'll da... | 0neg | I pride myself in being able to sit through and enjoy movies of just about any genre, but the idea of any sort of movie or TV show about "Little House on the Prairie" driving an SUV and the "Prairie" show had me in tears of laughter.<br /><br />Why is it that every time they re-visit the old, good 'ol days they throw i... | I pride myself in being a fan of not only the British film genre, but I am always looking at films from a fresh mind and not being swayed by preconceptions. Yet I find myself at a standstill when it comes to reviewing this film, not that it is the worst of the worst, but it really didn't have me completely sold. I real... |
I went through great efforts to get this movie after reading the comments on this site. I really don't have time to write reviews but I felt this was my duty as a sci-fi horror buff. This is only the second review I have written. The other was for Dracula 3000. Now to the point. This movie sucked. Plain and simple. I k... | 0neg | I went through great efforts to watch, review the book after seeing the film.<br /><br />The book was excellent. It was a must read. I really expected this to be an incredibly fine movie. <br /><br />It just wasn't.<br /><br />I gave this "movie" two out of ten, because it got it somewhat right. But, like I said earlie... | I went through great efforts to get into this film. The movie is shot in a way, almost no budget, very simple. Some bad movies look cheap because of production values, but not this one. The camera-work and lighting are perfect. There is no doubt in my mind that this was made by a filmmaker and not a "filmmaker." The ci... |
I really did not want to write a harsh review of this movie because I genuinely appreciate how hard it is to make any kind of movie on an incredibly low budget, let alone attempt something as ambitious as a sci-fi.<br /><br />However this movie is truly awful. The acting is among some of the worst I have ever had to en... | 0neg | I really did not want to see this movie because of its horrible trailer and horrible reviews but after listening to a bunch of people say just how bad it was, I decided I'm not going to let bad reviews and bad trailers ruin a good movie so I saw it anyways. Boyam Boy. I really would not recommend this movie to be hones... | I really did not want to read this novel as after its publication it became the center of a literary controversy which centered on Ms Choppin's relationship with her son, who is an art critic and also the biographer of one of her paintings, it does detract from the story and to me it seems as though Ms Choppin did not ... |
I felt compelled to write a review after seeing the only review which gave this film a suspiciously high 9/10 rating. I say suspicious because it looks less like a review but more like a publicity statement. Perhaps the filmmaker himself, or one of his mates, has written that "review"? Naughty, naughty.<br /><br />I wa... | 0neg | I felt compelled to write about "Slaughter High" after reading some of the comments posted about this movie. I love this movie. This is one of my favorite movies, and I am tired of people saying it's not good. What is so bad about it. This movies has more integrity, more substance. I appreciate these people for making ... | I felt compelled to write this review even though I haven't written for this site in 5 years, because "Dark Water" is one of the most disturbing movies ever made. It's a very strange, slow-moving, minimalistic film that really doesn't fit any one genre, but can't quite qualify as experimental due to its simplicity and ... |
I had known Brad Linaweaver at Florida State U in the early 70's when he was an inspiring, inventive writer who I thought was headed for greater glory.<br /><br />And that is why I rented this video. Well, well, well, the time has not been kind to Mr Linaweaver. I suppose the pressures of making a living makes higher a... | 0neg | I had known Brad Linaweaver had been in an awful film about a ghost child, but I didn't know of it's existence. I can't understand people that give 1 out of 10, this film was so good I fell in love with it.<br /><br />I'm amazed to see other posters are saying this was one big bad joke. What a joke, if I was trying to ... | I had known Brad Linaweaver for years as a comic and improv actor. He's done the stand-up with Bob Urich, David Spade, and the best of the best in comics. So when I finally saw "The Rant" I was shocked with how well he had done! He's hilarious, and I was pleased to see that he had a knack for writing, directing, editin... |
I bought this out of curiosity. How did John Carradine (who died in 1988) and Cameron Mitchell (who died in 1994) make appearances in a film made in 1995? Thanks to the miracle of unused film can footage that's probably been sitting on a shelf somewhere for ten years, that's how! You can tell because the film stock use... | 0neg | I bought this out of the belief that it would be the same (great) story as the original: 40 years ago, I was a teenager who liked to watch 'comedy' movies while I was driving, and I would never laugh out loud when I looked after the TV, but I did like to listen to a good radio comedy. The original radio series was the ... | I bought this out of a curiousity to see what it might be like. I figured, what the hell, for the $3 rental this is I'll give it a shot. What a horrible movie! Don't get me wrong, there's nothing terribly wrong technically-wise. Sure, the gore is a little overdone, but that's to be expected in a film of this genre. The... |
Man, this movies sucked. It appeared to have like seven different plots going on at once and they all made little to no sense. The special effects, costumes, and all that stuff were beyond awful. The acting was particullary bad. Everything seemed so forced, especially the lines from the woman with the huge eyes and the... | 0neg | Man, this movies sucked. It's a shame, but the plot of it is pathetic and pointless. <br /><br />The one thing that made me like the movie was the guy who played Zabok, and only him. What a good performance. The guy was a real actor and not a one trick pony trying to out-do other "hot" actors. The thing is Zabok was co... | Man, this movies sucked. It was filled with way to much talking and the acting was just simply, a little off. The special effects were done by the same company who did Battlefield Earth. It was like watching an MTV movie. Not only that, but the story was boring and it seems like they had a hard time deciding what to pu... |
I've always loved horror flicks. From some of the usual well-known like "The Exorcist" to some of the more underrated like "Black Christmas" or "Just Before Dawn". But who are people kidding,even calling this trash a b-movie. It's straight up bottom-of-the-barrel Z-grade. The acting is the worst ever on film. Really,I'... | 0neg | I've always loved horror flicks. And I love the classics... I mean, who can't love the likes of FIVE ACROSS THE EYES, IT'S ALIVE, THE THING AND DEATH WISH. Yet, this movie sucks. The only parts that were really good in this movie was when it was about to end. I mean, the whole zombie chase scene! The chick was running ... | I've always loved horror flicks. That's why I was really looking forward to the remake of this film, which turned out to be just awful. I'm not a movie critic, but this was just plain cheesy compared to the original (if the 1965 version was cheesy; I'm not a fan.)<br /><br />The remake, with a contemporary setting, was... |
I bought Jack-O a number of months ago at a Blockbuster video sale, and at the time I wasn't expecting anything outstanding from it. Upon watching it, I realized I not only got less than I could have ever bargained for, but a whole lot more as well. It seems, strange, I know. And it is. But it's perfectly fitting when ... | 0neg | I bought Jack-O a number of years back, but didn't see it for a LONG time. Finally I did and it is nothing like I remembered. It's actually pretty good. Very campy as one would expect it to be. The actors can't have done their best work, but then again even though they were obviously a bunch of low budget actors still ... | I bought Jack-O a number of years ago for about $5.00 dollars US, never have I been so deceived, this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my whole life, there is no plot, the acting is so bad you could cut with a piece of cheese. No comedy in it what so ever. It just goes on and on till the end and it is bad... |
When you watch low budget horror movies as much as I do, you get to where you can tell who was involved in creating the movie, as each film-maker adds his own flavor to the cheese. Such is the case with Jack-O. When I watched this truly awful movie, I was left with the undeniable feeling that Fred Olen Ray was involved... | 0neg | When you watch low budget movies from years ago, sometimes you can see a real good idea and concept.<br /><br />Sometimes, though, its painfully clear that a "director" did no more then stand and point a camera in the direction of an object until it was full of film.<br /><br />It is the latter that describes the film,... | When you watch low budget exploitation features you can't expect great acting but often this can still make a movie decent, if that doesn't happen you should probably just stay away from this crap, as is what I did. Well, this feature is just too weak when it comes to everything. The acting is just awful and pretty muc... |
This is, without a doubt, the most hilarious movie I've ever seen. Seriously, if the makers of this movie are ever discovered, they'll put guys like Jim Carrey out of a job. Rent "Jack-O" tonight! Believe me, you won't regret it! | 0neg | This is, without a doubt, the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. Seriously. Ever. Ever. Ever. It pains me to have to write those 10 lines on here, but I can't leave people's heads unprotected. I don't want my friends to watch this movie. My friends are intelligent. If they watched this movie my friends would not ... | This is, without a doubt, an enjoyable and entertaining film. But "The Wicker Man" also touches on the very human issues of loneliness and otherness, which make it far more than just another horror movie.<br /><br />This is a character study, a story of a man going far afield of the civilization he grew accustomed to i... |
This thing, it shouldn't be called a film, is almost worse than "Manos", but you just have to see it it's hilarious. If you see it at video store rent it, if you see the 10th anniversary edition, yes there is a special edition, for under $10 buy it, if your friend has it borrow it, you just have to see this. The acting... | 0neg | This thing, it shouldn't be called a movie because it only has some moments of entertainment. This movie has no real plot or idea, some plot holes and even some stupid characters. Basically the idea is pretty simple. The rich parents of the guy whose cheating wife dies and he has a child out of wedlock, hire a new nann... | This thing, it shouldn't be watched. It is not entertaining, it is not funny, well, I never laughed, it is not interesting, it's stupid, it's crap. I have seen much worse movie or TV-shows or so called movies to put here, but this one is really a bottom of bottom. I'm not even going to tell you what it is about, becaus... |

Ugh. Pretty awful.<br /><br />Linnea Quigley gets top billing, but her character doesn't have a big part. Who is her character supposed to be anyway, the little boy's aunt? Another user commented on her getting nude in a shower scene. While there was a shower scene in the movie, it was a head and shoulders shot. Perhap... | 0neg | Ugh. Pretty awful.<br /><br />Linnea Quigley can act, but the director doesn't let her.<br /><br />Also, there's not much for a thriller at all. Not even much for a good comedy. It's just a film, poorly executed.<br /><br />Quigley is very sweet. You feel badly for her for enduring this travesty. | Ugh. Pretty awful.<br /><br />Linnea is not a terrible actress. (She is the one thing that is good about this film) Unfortunately she is in a film that is so horrible that it prevents her from doing anything noteworthy.<br /><br />The story should make sense and it should have a point. This has no point and very little... |
Wow! What a movie if you want to blow your budget on the title and have it look real bad ask the guys that made this movie on how to do that. They could have spent the money on a good rewrite or something else. Or they could have spent it on beer when they made this movie at least it would have come out better. | 0neg | Wow! What a movie if you have nothing to do. I was so bored at that time and then I saw this movie on TV. It started well and I was like, "Why was that girl hanging the guy and then she ran away? Then I will watch and know what is going on" So what I know is this. First off, the bad acting, I was bored out of my mind. ... | Wow! What a movie if only all movies are this good! This is a story of a young man who goes to college and joins his school's rowing team. It is made up of all kinds of people and they must learn to work together in order to row a boat. I think that everyone should see this movie because it was great. The movie starts ... |
I hope this group of film-makers never re-unites. | 0neg | I hope this group of people who did this movie actually had a good one, because the ending left me feeling like I'd been hit by a car and the pain would never go away. The story seemed very unbalanced, and I didn't care for most of the characters for one reason or another. I can't help it but think this is one of those... | I hope this group of fans won't be too angry when I say that this movie has more in common with the old Disney movies of the 1950s than the more recent Disney (live-action) film versions, although I am not a big fan of the old Disney stuff (unless it is animated like Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella).<br /><br />As I watc... |
If you are looking for a cinematic masterpiece, this ain't it. If you are looking for one of those awful movies that are so horrible that they are actually good, then this may be for you. There are so many unintentional laughs in this film, that it could almost be considered a comedy. Let's start with the opening title... | 0neg | If you are looking for some great music, you are better off turning to the radio.

If like me you are intrigued by people doing things that a... | If you are looking for a movie about a teenage who escapes the clutches of his parents and goes out to seek his own way, this is certainly not the movie for you.

If you are in search of a masochistic thrill, rent this movie, and show it to a group of your friends sober. This movie is just plane lame, but there not completely without value.

But it is still b... | 0neg | If you are in search for a classic masterpiece you might feel tempted to overlook this film.

It is based on actual events. The performance of the men from the 306th Division will blow you away, though their faces are not polished Hol... |
My mother and I rented this gem a few years ago while she was here visiting for Thanksgiving. I have rarely laughed so hard.

I though... | 0neg | My mother and I rented this in our own home. I wasn't able to see it from the beginning to the end as it ran through my mother and I simultaneously watched it.

It really seemed to take... | My mother and I rented this movie because we were curious about the topic of infanticide and couldn't find the video to watch in our local stores and video stores.

Which should have been a pleasant experience...except not everyone involved ... | OK, I could only find out about this movie from reading about it on the IMDB. To say that "The Sentinel" is one the best independent movies I've seen is an understatement. It certainly isn't one the best horror movies, and it isn't even quite the scariest horror movie out there.<br /><br />What I saw in it, though, was... |
Jack-O (1995) was a really bad movie, we are talking snoozefest x 100, no entertainment value whatsoever, no budget, no gore, Z-grade actors etc etc, this film was an awful addition to the horror movie industry and shouldn't have been made!!! The only reason i purchased this movie was because i knew Linnea Quigley was ... | 0neg | Jack-O (1995) was a really awful film, so I thought it would be fun, to watch the film's trailer in my free time.

This would have to rate as one of the worst films of all time. The film screened at the Italian Film Festival in Melbourne, Australia.

"Fat Girls" is among the worst films within the indie gay genre.<br /><br />The premise is promising: an average-looking gay teen is trapped in a repressive small TX town.

The premise of the film was very promising - sort of a gay Napoleon Dynamite type of film. And to be fair, there were some funny moments and funny lines but it really wasn't very good overall.

The people who bash this movie were looking for it to be as cool and slick as the first one, which this isn't. This movie was supposed to be the complete opposite as Ocean's 11.

Watching this movie brings several words to mind: "sophomoric", "ridiculous", "improbable", "self-indulgent" and finally (and fatally), "boring".

Ocean's Twelve: just plain stupid, bad and nothing compared to the other two.<br /><br />An art robbery. 10 known actors, at least. A weak script and very slow developing idea.

Oh, how the critics fell all over themselves to praise their goldenboy Paul Schrader (author of Taxi Driver) when this movie came out.

Where should I begin with this movie. All I know is that it is a mess. Be the script, story, or the actors.

In 1932, Humphrey Bogart was a relative unknown--an unproven actor who was starring in one of his first films.

This is the movie that, pretty much, sounded the death knell for the auteur in Hollywood.
