487,551 | 386,241 | 83,670 | 1 | Amateurish , incompetent , laughable | Even if you have minimal standards about film-making quality , you'll agree that we all have a human right not to be subjected to a film as bad as " Boardinghouse " . If there were a Movie Police , they would arrest everyone associated with this " movie " and never allow them to make another one ( actually , most of th... |
487,556 | 386,241 | 125,967 | 1 | Bad beyond your wildest imagination | The Only Way To Spy is not a movie . It is a random collection of images shown out of order . To say that it doesn't make sense would be an understatement ; any given scene has no connection to the previous or to the next one . There isn't a shred of talent or professionalism to be found in any frame of this picture ... |
487,124 | 386,241 | 108,624 | 1 | Utterly awful . | I had heard that this movie was bad , but I foolishly thought " well , it has Jet Li and Chingmy Yau , how bad can it be ? " . Answer : so bad that it makes you want to turn it off after only the first 5 minutes . Jet Li's fighting - everyone's fighting , actually - is ridiculously overdone and overedited ; Yau's charm... |
486,487 | 386,241 | 108,593 | 1 | Warning about " Deadly China Hero " | First of all , I'd like to make it clear that I'm commenting on the " Deadly China Hero " version of this movie , which apparently is several minutes shorter than the " Last Hero In China " version . The latter may be a decent movie ; the former is just as bad as " Kung Fu Cult Master " , if not worse . No self-respect... |
485,889 | 386,241 | 282,163 | 1 | Insufferable and ridiculous horror film | You know , it takes a certain amount of talent to take a formula as firmly established as that of the slasher movie and screw it up so royally , but that's what they've done here . You suspect the movie is going to be bad right from the start , when the inexpressive cinematography totally fails to capture the beauty of... |
485,920 | 386,241 | 87,270 | 1 | Completely unconvincing ; a nothing of a movie . | The title and cover try to promote this as some sort of horror thriller , but don't be fooled ; it's really a revenge / survival story . It's meant to be about man's primal instincts , which surface under extreme circumstances , but it's so unconvincingly done that the four protagonists never seem to be more than an ho... |
486,209 | 386,241 | 86,927 | 1 | So bad it's PITIFUL . | This movie is so bad that it made me want to cry . It's about as funny as a plane crash with no survivors . But it's not only completely unfunny : it's also moronic and offensive . For two hours you're watching retards behaving like three-year-olds . The sexist and racist jokes are just plain pitiful . And the scene wh... |
486,373 | 386,241 | 131,359 | 1 | Rock-bottom cheapie . | You know , it's really a shame that most people have never heard of this movie . Because viewing it might just alter your perceptions about bad films . You will realize , after this , how often the phrase " this is the worst movie ever made " is inappropriately used ; " Rottweiler " IS the worst movie ever made ! I gue... |
485,785 | 386,241 | 75,097 | 1 | Off-putting " thriller " . | Incredibly muddled , off-putting and ultimately ludicrous ( " the horses , oh my God , the horses ! " ) thriller . It's creepy at times , but it has one of the worst scripts ever written for a horror film . Watch how in the final 10 minutes everybody " magically " does exactly what the plot needs for the " resolution "... |
487,208 | 386,241 | 296,042 | 1 | Utterly worthless . | Ichi The Killer ' s violence makes " Reservoir Dogs " look like " Snow White " . Its visual " style " makes MTV video directors look like cutting-edge , brilliant artists . And its plot makes most Steven Seagal story lines seem intelligent . Writing a long review about something so meaningless is meaningless in itsel... |
486,969 | 386,241 | 82,776 | 1 | Sickening trash . | Sickening exploitation trash plays like a bad ( and reverse ) " Death Wish " ripoff - but the ugly and untalented Tamerlis makes Charles Bronson look like Al Pacino with her performance . As for Ferrara's " stylish " direction , when a film is so vile , dumb and deeply offensive , it's hard for the viewer to pay attent... |
486,602 | 386,241 | 82,332 | 1 | For insomniacs . | This movie is recommended only for insomniacs : it will relieve them by putting them to sleep . Five-year-olds might also enjoy it . But for anyone else ( including fans of the genre ) , what a bore ! The " ancient " plot is reminiscent of " Return Of The Dragon " , and this film is just as inept , but Nero is no Bruce... |
486,489 | 386,241 | 140,859 | 2 | Unwatchable between the fight scenes ; not much better during them | The only possible source of entertainment in a movie like " Bloodfight " is the fighting , but even that is spoiled here by terrible direction , bad camera angles and sloppy editing . The plot rambles on for about an hour , then turns into a tenth-rate " Rocky " . The Oriental actors , burdened with someone's idiotic d... |
485,816 | 386,241 | 74,080 | 2 | Artless junk . | This film was ineptly directed , badly acted and poorly written . It was artless junk , populated exclusively by moronic and unpleasant characters . But the most depressing thought that crossed my mind while I was watching this film is that , unfortunately , grade-Z exploitationers like this often develop a cult reputa... |
486,198 | 386,241 | 195,379 | 2 | Limp | OK , I believe an in-depth analysis is not exactly necessary for this one . Its only value is in the unintentional laughs it has to offer . The martial-arts choreography is a disgrace to the words " martial " and " arts " . The girls may be sexy and smooth , but I'm sorry , a weekend's training in combat is just not en... |
486,538 | 386,241 | 308,137 | 2 | Amateurish attempt at a psycho / serial killer thriller . | This would be acceptable as a first project by kids who just got out of a film college , but it is unacceptable as a finished product for public exhibition . Half the time you feel as if you're watching a sick home movie ; the other half you feel as if you're watching Asian MTV . As for the theory that criminals become... |
487,068 | 386,241 | 100,975 | 2 | Shameless and boring . | Anyone who has seen the utterly worthless original will rightfully wonder why a sequel was even filmed . But what's really inconceivable is that this so-called sequel is actually even worse that " Xtro " . A shameless " Alien " rip-off , terribly acted and full of very derivative effects . Trust all the comments and do... |
485,648 | 386,241 | 109,550 | 2 | Dead in the water . | Dark Waters is the kind of movie that wears out your patience in the first 5 minutes . Every ridiculous horror cliche ( all the nights are rainy ; all the supporting characters are wackos ; old people know " more than they're telling " ; there are candles everywhere ; there are strange burp-like sounds on the soundtr... |
486,583 | 386,241 | 83,033 | 2 | Very bad . | A poor movie - to put it mildly . The misleading title may make you think that this is going to be a parody of the " Friday the 13Th " formula , but it isn't . In fact , it's hard to know what type of movie they're supposed to be spoofing here . Anyway , this film is an appallingly unfunny comedy AND an unscary horror ... |
485,677 | 386,241 | 338,479 | 2 | Cynical , witless garbage | Tales from the Crapper is gory , disgusting , tasteless , offensive , lowbrow and scatological . But that's OK , I was prepared for all that from my previous Troma experiences . What I WASN'T prepared for is that it's also witless , unfunny and boring . Very little of the genuine anarchic spirit of films like " Class... |
486,383 | 386,241 | 87,298 | 2 | Imbecilic movie is a low point of the series . | Even by the standards of this movie series ( and those standards aren't exactly high ) , this is an utterly imbecilic movie and one of the series ' really low points . The characters are dumber-than-usual , the acting far below average and the dialogue is so ludicrous ( A : " You have no computer " , B : " And you have... |
485,777 | 386,241 | 386,846 | 2 | Lousy - possibly the worst " Die Hard " ripoff ever | I'm no snob when it comes to low-budget action films : just a few days ago , I watched " Blast ! " ( 2004 ) , a straight-to-video Die-Hard-On-An-Oil-Rig , and I liked it more than " Die Hard 4 " . But " The Vault " is just awful by any standards . Lousy , disorienting editing , pathetic " special effects " , sloppy , i... |
487,262 | 386,241 | 87,229 | 2 | Worthless and artless . | Robert Ginty says at one point " I feel like I've been here before " ; well , those were my feelings exactly . I thought the original " Exterminator " was a pretty bad film with only a few memorable gore scenes to recommend it , but this is far worse . Made only to cash in on the first film's popularity , this is too b... |
486,977 | 386,241 | 100,581 | 2 | Proceed at your own risk . | As a director , Dario Argento may very well be a master of the horror genre . But as a screenwriter , he has already proved that , more often than not , he doesn't have a clue . The script he has co-written for " The Sect " is so awful that I am inclined to believe there wasn't any script to begin with - they were prob... |
486,189 | 386,241 | 83,312 | 2 | A shapeless farrago . | Waitress ! is about as bad as a comedy can get . It can barely be called a movie ; it's more like a collage of randomly connected images and scenes that don't build from each other or move any sort of plot forward . And the editing is so rapid it may give you a headache . I'd give this dreadful film 0 . stars . |
486,892 | 386,241 | 178,917 | 2 | Atrocious | Frank is a tough LA cop ( what else in new ? ) who's had it up to here with the red tape that's been making his life difficult ( what else is new ? ) , so he recruits three female prisoners ( an ex-cop , an ex-marine and a gang member ) and trains them to combat crime in his own unorthodox way . The premise may be comp... |
486,709 | 386,241 | 79,115 | 2 | Sloppy and unpleasant | Escape from Hell is not made with enough artistry to disguise what it is : crass exploitation . The direction and writing are both sloppy : for example , the camera-work during the fight between Cintia Lodetti and Ajita Wilson is so bad that you can barely make out what's happening ; also , if the alcoholic-but-kind-... |
486,585 | 386,241 | 71,521 | 2 | UGH . | James Caan and Alan Arkin " disgrace " themselves by starring in this offensive turkey . They play two unlikable near-fascists , whose idea of " law-enforcement " is , apparently , killing and injuring innocent civilians along with real criminals . And we were supposed to be rooting for those Dirty Harry clones that we... |
485,760 | 386,241 | 74,920 | 2 | Lethargically paced , ludicrously dubbed dullness . | A funny thing happened to me while watching " Mosquito " : on the one hand , the hero is a deaf-mute and the director is totally unable to make us understand why he does what he does ( mutilating mannequins . . . er , excuse me , corpses ) through his images . On the other hand , the English version at least is very ba... |
485,622 | 386,241 | 79,319 | 2 | Inconceivably dull . | One of the worst movies ever made . It's a remake of a 1937 disaster epic , which I haven't seen , and it's so impossibly dull , so lifeless and enervated that my guess is , if you ever start watching it , you won't finish it through . The climactic hurricane sequences are OK , but not really spectacular by today's sta... |
485,756 | 386,241 | 244,098 | 2 | Don't bother . | This worthless , bottom-of-the-barrel , stupid slasher film is only for those who have A LOT of free time on their hands , and simply want to see a few gory killings , without any concern for quality . If you don't belong in this category , however , skip it and go watch any of the roughly 3 , 784 better horror films a... |
486,277 | 386,241 | 179,123 | 2 | Utter disappointment | The cover seems to promise a female version of James Bond , but the truth is quite different . " Pepper " ( as my version was titled ) is too lame to be taken seriously as a spy thriller ( just one example : the room in which there is a device that can trigger a satellite to destroy Washington , London , Paris and Mosc... |
487,313 | 386,241 | 101,676 | 2 | Incredibly bad | The only reason I'm writing this is to issue a warning , because I see that nobody else has bothered to ( and deservedly so ) : if you're thinking of renting / watching this movie because the title sounds intriguing and you feel this could be a buried exploitation treasure , PLEASE DON'T DO IT ! This must be one of the... |
485,798 | 386,241 | 110,264 | 2 | It's hard to believe how bad this actually is . | The title promises cheap thrills , but there aren't any . The script is stupid , the direction amateurish , the cops dopey ( not only do they fail to capture a slow , dumb serial killer , but they also fail to provide even the slightest protection to the victims ) , the psychiatrists ignorant and the actors portraying ... |
487,145 | 386,241 | 94,962 | 2 | Gore and nothing else . Nothing . | The Dead Next Door is a nearly plotless exercise in extreme gore . Certainly the entire miniscule budget must have gone into the creation of the gore effects ( which are juicy , to say the least ) , because all the other technical aspects ( lighting , visual clarity , staging of the action scenes ) are atrocious . It... |
486,482 | 386,241 | 94,899 | 2 | Enervated | OK , this is confusing . In 1984 , the Italian director Anthony Dawson ( AKA Antonio Margheriti ) made " Codename : Wildgeese " , an action film about a commando squad that goes to Southeast Asia to attack a drug lord's stronghold . It starred Lewis Collins , Lee Van Cleef , Klaus Kinski and Ernest Borgnine . In 1988 ,... |
486,867 | 386,241 | 82,237 | 2 | Not much better than " Plan 9 From Outer Space " . | Grade-Z in all departments , " Dawn of the Mummy " is a film to watch only if you're desperate . Cinematography ( it looks like a home movie ) , acting ( complete with ear-piercing screaming ) , script ( incomprehensible ) , directing ( incompetent ) . . . . just about everything here is unbelievably bad . Except perha... |
486,708 | 386,241 | 89,964 | 2 | An embarrassment , a fraud , a hack job . . . . take your pick | I have this obscure movie on VHS and the cover features Linda Blair in a revealing outfit , holding a machine gun . In the actual movie , she does hold ( and fire ) a machine gun , BUT : A ) Her outfit is a formal dress under a fur coat , B ) Her part is a 5-minute cameo ( plus a few lines of narration ) . The rest of ... |
487,450 | 386,241 | 93,276 | 2 | The strangest . . . and the worst . | Iron Warrior introduces a new style both for Ator ( he has black hair now , in a ponytail , and barely utters more than fifty words in the entire movie ) and for the series itself . Director Brescia drops the silliness and campiness of the two D'Amato-directed " Ator " flicks in favor of a pseudo-arty approach . He e... |
485,636 | 386,241 | 85,750 | 2 | A total yawner . | Most of the comments here will give you the impression that this movie , bad as it is , still offers ( unintentional ) laughs . But you can laugh only when you're awake , and staying awake while you are watching this INCREDIBLY BORING movie is a real challenge . Poorly produced , directed and edited , this is an abysma... |
486,945 | 386,241 | 93,405 | 2 | What a dud ! | A complete dud . Stuck with a stupid script and in the middle of moronic proceedings , Bill Cosby looks utterly bored and desperate . This is the type of film that has NOTHING redeeming about it , and even thinking about it for a minute longer than its running time is a real waste of effort . Worthless . ( ) |
486,347 | 386,241 | 156,372 | 3 | The only thing you'll be thirsty for is a better movie . | Cheap ( and I mean CHEAP ; I don't know what they paid the actors , but the rest of the budget must have been around 50 dollars ; it was shot on KODAK film stock ! ) softcore thriller is mostly talk , with minimal horror elements and a monotonous performance by Monique Parent . The director plays so much with the light... |
485,696 | 386,241 | 56,405 | 3 | When it's not funny , it's unendurable . | Reptilicus is a rather easy movie to write a review about , since for almost all its length it follows the same , monotonous pattern : it alternately becomes laughably bad ( when the " monster " is onscreen ) and sleep-inducing ( when it isn't ) . I mean , if the unconvincing special effects don't get you , the lifel... |
485,612 | 386,241 | 112,843 | 3 | Predictable " Robocop " rehash . | A tired , second-rate " Robocop " rehash . Deadly predictable , too . You know what will happen in almost every scene . Basically the whole plot is : woman gets murdered , woman gets " ressurrected " , woman seeks vengeance on those who killed her . Nothing more than that . The movie is not exactly bad , it's just so .... |
486,144 | 386,241 | 91,344 | 3 | And what do we care ? | This is a low-class , low-grade attempt to revive the myth of King Kong . The filmmakers have made the mistake of taking him for granted ; they " anthropomorphize " him to an excessive degree ( watch for those silly grins ) and pretty much waste him . There are some fair scenes of mass destruction in " King Kong Lives ... |
486,943 | 386,241 | 78,113 | 3 | Atrociously bad . | An atrociously made , acted and dubbed cannibal movie that is also very tame in terms of violence ( except for a scene where a crocodile is skinned alive ) and nudity ( it must have been on the female lead's contract not to have a single nude scene ) . The " highlights " of the film's stupidity include : A : The poorly... |
487,287 | 386,241 | 83,550 | 3 | Possessed by the spirit of other films . | Extraordinarily stupid ( why doesn't the family simply leave the house ? ? ) , blatantly cliched ( right down to the resolution of the " exorcism " ) and often perverse - but those are all faults of the script . The director does a good job under the circumstances ( there is one camera trick in particular that makes yo... |
486,276 | 386,241 | 83,509 | 3 | Cynthia Rothrock's first film is terrible - and she is barely in it ! | Cynthia Rothrock , whose first film this is , appears on the video cover and has a couple of fight scenes in the opening 5 minutes . Then her character is dressed up as a ninja for the rest of the running time , except that the woman inside the ninja suit is NOT Cynthia . It's easy to see that from the close-ups of her... |
486,978 | 386,241 | 95,611 | 3 | Fifth-rate but sometimes amusing slasher film . | From a horror standpoint , " Memorial Valley Massacre " is a worthless slasher that no serious horror fan should bother with . What saves it from being a total bomb is the tongue-in-cheek approach of the filmmakers , at least in the first half . For example , early on a man says " We've got a problem with the water " (... |
486,605 | 386,241 | 61,405 | 3 | Inexplicably bad . | Billion Dollar Brain is an unbelievably , inexplicably bad movie . It's so bad that the Harry Palmer series didn't survive it . I can't realize ( after two viewings ) what exactly is wrong with it , but it seems to fail on every level : plot , action , satire . Even Caine looks passive and unable to save it . A real ... |
487,201 | 386,241 | 147,868 | 3 | Disappointing , talky action film | OK , let me start with the best ( if not the only good ) thing in this movie : Shawn Huff . I don't know if the word " WOW " is enough to describe her . Her portrayal of an expert markswoman / assassin is picture-perfect , and she delivers with conviction such lines as ( after shooting two guys point-blank ) " Hell yea... |
485,701 | 386,241 | 87,805 | 3 | Shamelessly exploitative , often laughable . | Ninja III is not quite as bad as " Enter The Ninja " , the first part of this " trilogy " , but it's still a very bad movie . It will hardly please the fans of martial-arts movies , because there isn't enough action , but even the action scenes themselves are often spoiled by laughable excesses and needless violence ... |
485,779 | 386,241 | 256,083 | 3 | Alternative recommendations | Hostile Environment seems to have a lot of promising B-movie actors and ingredients , however here are a few suggestions for you instead of watching this movie : - If you're a Brigitte Nielsen fan , try " Red Sonja " - If you're a Matthias Hues fan , try " No Retreat , No Surrender 2 " - If you're a Darren Shahlavi f... |
485,708 | 386,241 | 100,904 | 3 | At least the dog is adorable . | This sequel to " Watchers " is just a reworking of the original . Or , more accurately , it uses Dean Koontz's original story as the basis for yet another " Predator " knock-off . Pretty lame , with some terribly unconvincing effects ( check out that severed head ) , but an amazingly well-trained dog yet again saves th... |
486,670 | 386,241 | 95,256 | 3 | Grotesquely confused ( SPOILERS ) . | It begins as a horrible " horror " flick , but fortunately we quickly find out that the opening scenes belong to a movie-within-a-movie . Then , for the next 15 minutes or so , there are some decent filmmaking vs . reality games that add an extra layer to the film . But when the punks appear , their embarrassing overac... |
486,261 | 386,241 | 66,449 | 3 | What planet is this film taking place on ? | Annoying , static comedy with a painfully miscast Peter Sellers as a smarmy , self-centered Casanova who always has his way with the ladies . A major blemish on Sellers ' filmography , and , even worse , a film that seems to have been made solely to satisfy the ego of its star . ( ) |
486,225 | 386,241 | 87,556 | 3 | Perhaps the action movie with the worst hero ( and the worst villain ! ) of the 80's . | Essentially plotless action film has two good guys ( Fong and Roundtree ) pitted against two bad guys ( Mitchell and Pierce ) . Fong is perhaps the most uncharismatic action lead of the 80s , Roundtree's small part is a far cry from his " Shaft " days , and Cameron Mitchell adds another shameful role to his career , on... |
486,559 | 386,241 | 95,334 | 3 | The Unoriginal Nightmare . | There is certainly nothing original or creative about this film . . . . more than an hour passes before you even get to see a werewolf . . . the movie seems to consider the " existence " of werewolves a very shocking revelation but you're not likely to agree . Totally pedestrian , with low-grade special effects . ( ) |
486,040 | 386,241 | 113,349 | 3 | Awful . | This is the worst of the " Howling " sequels , and that is quite a feat considering how bad most of them were . To be fair , though , parts " 5 " and " 6 " were pretty decent ( no kidding ) , so please don't ignore them also simply because they happen to be " associated " with this movie . Not to mention the fact that ... |
486,265 | 386,241 | 109,546 | 3 | Playboy can do better ! | Kim Delaney is pretty hot , and that's about it for this derivative and stupid " erotic thriller " , which concludes with some mystical mumbo-jumbo that has to be heard to be believed ( " if you surrender to the evil spirit , it will be kind and gentle to you " ) . Don't waste your time with this time-waster , unless y... |
487,548 | 386,241 | 74,296 | 3 | Dismal " comedy " demeans Fenech | Ugo Tognazzi is a lawyer whose flight to New York is canceled due to extreme fog and he goes back to his house , only to find a man hidden in the closet while his wife appears to be sleeping . Actually , he just sees the man's feet but he doesn't bother to find out who he is ( if he did , this whole cockamamie story wo... |
487,270 | 386,241 | 74,279 | 3 | Crummy low-budget flick . | Director Paul Baurtel's follow-up to his cult hit " Death Race 2000 " was this pretty awful little action picture that has all the amateurishness of the previous film but about half the budget - which wasn't so high to begin with ! It's a crummy-looking , unfunny , unexciting film , but at least it has some beautiful w... |
487,023 | 386,241 | 60,782 | 3 | Pretty lame . | Even Raquel Welch's physically superb presence can't rescue this hokey , dated adventure epic . I'm sure the effects were considered creative and first-rate back in 1966 , but today they've lost much of their impact . And the ending is so abrupt that it may leave you stunned ! ( ) |
485,666 | 386,241 | 96,251 | 3 | Think " Japanese MTV with a dose of violence " and you're getting close . | Unendurable , incomprehensible assault on the senses . Not really shocking or disturbing , because most of the time you don't even know what exactly you're looking at . Actually , this must be one of the worst films I've ever seen , but it has enough amazing ( for what they cost ) effects and bizarre images to warrant ... |
486,558 | 386,241 | 96,000 | 3 | BLATANT , BLATANT " Predator " knockoff | Astonishing in its audacity ! Bruno Mattei gathered a bunch of B-movie actors , threw them into the jungle , and then ripped off the basic plotline from " Predator " , ripped off whole lines of dialogue from " Predator " , ripped off the irrelevant action sequences from " Predator " , he even ripped off the " who-playe... |
486,172 | 386,241 | 74,474 | 3 | Boring - Skip It | I would describe " Black Emanuelle 2 " as a mix of porn , corn and " Rashomon " , except it's not as interesting as that description makes it sound . First of all , the female lead who replaces Laura Gemser is nowhere near her league . Her body is nice but her face is nothing special , to put it kindly . The " corn " p... |
487,565 | 386,241 | 78,812 | 3 | Dreadful espionage thriller . | From the hilariously overdubbed Russian dialogue ( in the very first scene to boot ; what a great way to start your movie ! ) to the badly miscast actors ( Maximilian Schell as a top Russian official ? ? ? ) and from the unexciting action scenes ( full of inept bad guys who can't shoot straight ) to the trite " May-Dec... |
486,443 | 386,241 | 147,995 | 3 | How many country hicks did " The Crow " have ? | Great DVD cover marketing here , guys ! Raven = Crow , therefore this is the successor to Brandon Lee's " The Crow " ! Em , no . Actually , reading the plot synopsis and looking at the photos I expected something along the lines of " Barb Wire " , but no , it's not that either . The story is silly and pretentious ( shu... |
486,903 | 386,241 | 100,666 | 3 | Not half as witty as its title . | Sloppily directed , witless comedy that supposedly spoofs the " classic " 50s " alien invasion " films , but really is no better than them , except of course in the purely technical department ( good makeup effects ) . And any spoof that is worse than its target is doomed to fail ( " Casino Royale " , " Our Man Flint "... |
487,495 | 386,241 | 65,709 | 3 | A mess . | Marty Feldman was a likable and gifted comedian , but that doesn't mean he couldn't star in some lousy films . Take this terrible comedy for example : the bizarre , sometimes cute fantasy sequences are its only saving grace . This only goes to prove that if you want to turn chaos into comedy , you have to be really goo... |
486,542 | 386,241 | 113,278 | 3 | Pretty terrible | I have often found myself defending Albert Pyun for some of his films that few other people like ( like " Nemesis " ) , but " Heatseeker " , a pretentious mix of pseudo-sci-fi and martial arts action , really is one of his worst films . Keith Cooke ( whom I first spotted in " China O'Brien 2 " , where he stole the show... |
485,980 | 386,241 | 118,153 | 3 | A total waste of time . | There is a decent idea buried at the core of " The Whispering " , but the script's logic is messy ( why can some people see the demon-woman and others can't ? What does the hypnosis scene have to do with anything else ? And - SPOILER - as someone else already mentioned , how can you defeat a demon simply by breaking a ... |
485,731 | 386,241 | 70,130 | 3 | Too dull to stomach . | Marco Ferreri should have gotten some kind of honorary award for turning a seemingly surefire premise into an astonishingly dull movie . The characters don't exchange even one meaningful line of dialogue during the film's two hours . That means that they don't connect with each other , and we don't connect with them . ... |
486,643 | 386,241 | 87,280 | 3 | Stalker meets " Seven " : a cure for insomnia ! | This is the kind of movie that sends 90 % of the audience looking for the exits ( or the " Eject " button on their VHS / DVD players ) , while the remaining 10 % claims it's a " masterpiece " . Very demanding , very suffocating , very pretentious . By making a film whose extreme ambitions are matched only by the boredo... |
486,863 | 386,241 | 78,405 | 3 | Trash . | This film apparently caused quite some controversy when it was released back in 1978 , and it's easy to see why - the " bathtub " scene is explicit even by today's standards , and I'll bet that it's cut ( or shortened ) from the current British re-release of the film . Essentially , however , this is an artlessly made ... |
486,475 | 386,241 | 95,924 | 3 | Pulse doesn't have much pulse . | The main problem with this movie is that its premise is quintessentially , thoroughly unscary . It's no coincidence that the only two even remotely scary scenes ( suffocation by gas and a very hot shower ) are not even directly linked to electricity ! And how IS the evil circuit able to control doors and windows ? ? Th... |
485,994 | 386,241 | 95,929 | 3 | Dreary exploitation junk | Despite the initial set-up ( 2 American girls in a foreign - here African - country get arrested and sentenced to 11 years in jail for a crime they didn't commit ) , " Purgatory " is not really a Women-In-Prison film . It almost completely ignores the daily prison life of the women and focuses on one aspect only : thei... |
487,079 | 386,241 | 65,832 | 3 | What a goofy film ! | Clumsy comedy with cheesy " special effects " ( if you want to call them that ) and a dumb storyline . Still , this could be considered something of a cult item today , because it feautures Arnold Schwarzenegger in his movie debut ; he is already impressive-looking , and his voice is dubbed throughout by a man who soun... |
485,613 | 386,241 | 65,950 | 3 | UGH ! | I can't believe there are four positive comments for this dud ! If you're tired of the James Bond pictures and you want to try a more " adult " and mature spy film , check out " The Ipcress File " , or even " The Naked Runner " , with Frank Sinatra ; they are far superior . " The Kremlin Letter " is poorly structured (... |
486,674 | 386,241 | 64,949 | 3 | Disconnected , awful horror film . | Three of the most famous horror stars appear in this film , but don't be fooled - it's definitely a complete dud , an incoherent , unbelievably bad pastiche of disconnected scenes . Peter Cushing's role is little more than a cameo and Christopher Lee just drops in and out of a few sequences . Only Vincent Price has som... |
486,722 | 386,241 | 69,785 | 3 | Inept . | The most annoying thing about this ludicrous " action " film is the contempt it shows for the audience . You get the feeling that the people involved just didn't care enough to make a good film , and the intentionally campy and preposterous moments seem merely an attempt to cover their own incompetence . Linda Marlowe ... |
487,244 | 386,241 | 386,653 | 3 | Bargain-basement thriller | Ha ha , 9 out of the 12 people who voted on this movie so far gave it a perfect 10 , that's a good one ! I , on the other hand , will give it a 3 - it could easily be a 1 but it gets an extra point for the spin it puts on the genre by having a female serial killer and another point because . . . well , I did watch it a... |
486,179 | 386,241 | 74,682 | 3 | Nude goddess Ursula in a very disappointing sex comedy | Ursula Andress ' naked body is one of those things that make you believe in God . The other two women ( especially the one who plays the maid ) have great bodies as well . Then why is the higher grade that I can give to a film with such quality and quantity of nudity only ? Because , to get to Ursula's unbelievable bod... |
486,797 | 386,241 | 206,826 | 3 | Total waste of time | Oh man , what a ripoff ! I rented this movie basically to see Claudia Schiffer . She has no more than 15 minutes of screen time in total , and don't expect to see her in anything racier than a bikini . She isn't exactly a convincing actress , but at least her primary profession is a model - what's Daniel Baldwin's excu... |
486,106 | 386,241 | 74,776 | 3 | Stereotyped and tiresome . | Stereotyped , derivative , unoriginal and boring Western . The two popular stars ( Charlton Heston and James Coburn ) both give performances that are far from their best , and justifiably so ; they both have superficial roles and character traits stated mainly by dialogue . Heston is a sheriff who " liked the world bet... |
486,710 | 386,241 | 144,233 | 3 | Fails on all levels | Horror of Hell Mountain wants to be : A ) A soft-core sex filmB ) A women-in-prison filmC ) An action film D ) A post-apocalyptic film It fails on all levels , because : A ) The tone is too depressing - there is one tasteful love scene at the very beginning , the rest is a total turn-off B ) Only two of the prisoners... |
487,176 | 386,241 | 71,508 | 3 | Fast forward to the last ten minutes ; the rest isn't even worth a look . | Disgraceful " variation " on the Frankenstein myth . Such shamelessly idiotic dialogue cannot be heard even in a porn movie ( " Oh , I am so lonely , I'm glad they didn't hurt you , come closer " ) , and such ludicrous plotting wouldn't even be accepted in a farce ( watch the " kiss him . . . it's not working " scene .... |
486,831 | 386,241 | 55,323 | 3 | Of historical interest mostly | Dismal production values ruin a tale that , in some ways , was ahead of its time ( several of the women know how to handle a gun , for example ) . The plot concerns female prisoners on the remote Devil's Island , who work all day under exhausting conditions to collect gold for the French government , and if they want t... |
486,352 | 386,241 | 79,128 | 3 | Boring cheapie . | Cheaply made , plodding horror film that should have been much better considering it's based ( incredibly ) on a true story . Justifiably forgotten today , this only has a couple of effective moments . The scenes that are set in the past are filmed in an awful , yellow-tinted black-and-white that makes the film look ev... |
485,671 | 386,241 | 86,972 | 3 | The keeper of knowledge - Ator the avenger ! | Okay , the dialogue is unnecessarily portentous ( " I see . You want to test my powers of deduction " or " Mercy is not a virtue of the wicked " ) , the acting is bad ( especially by O'Keeffe and the guy who plays Zor ) , the special effects are embarrassing , the script is full of digressions instead of sticking to wh... |
486,236 | 386,241 | 67,148 | 3 | Lame . | Godzilla battles a monster made basically of toxic sludge . . . . and " sludge " is the operative word here . It's an awful , sleep-inducing movie , despite lots of ( ploddingly choreographed ) action . I haven't seen many Godzilla flicks , but this must rank near the bottom . It does have an honest " anti-pollution " ... |
487,447 | 386,241 | 94,627 | 3 | Contains big SPOILERS ! | A few scary , brutal murder sequences , surrounded by a lot of triviality and talking . The pacing is stagnant ( there are many scenes that could have been trimmed ) and the story is absurd ( a girl falls off a swing , hits her head , develops amnesia and then becomes a homicidal psychopath out to get the nurses who tr... |
485,737 | 386,241 | 94,607 | 3 | A thriller that doesn't thrill . . . . . . | . . . . and that's just about the worst think that a thriller can be accused of . Unfortunately , this movie is " guilty " : it fails to involve the viewer and it lacks conviction ; the story was very uninteresting and there were very few occasions on which the filmmakers were able to convince me that something importa... |
486,386 | 386,241 | 87,015 | 3 | Cruddy . | This dull and utterly unscary horror film is cruddy in every department and I simply can't believe that some genre fans actually liked it . The fact that it was followed by a sequel ( ! ) also seems inexplicable to me . There are absolutely no scares here - and no gore , either ; our views of the " monsters " are alway... |
486,877 | 386,241 | 923,938 | 3 | Slow , dry , actionless and unerotic | This is pretty much " The Terminator " with the sexes reversed : a female cyborg comes from the future not exactly to kill , but let's say to destroy the reproductive chances of the man who will become the father of the woman who in the future will become the leader of a resistance group against oppression , while anot... |
486,771 | 386,241 | 79,197 | 3 | Offensive trash - with one memorable part | Much like Tinto Brass ( " Caligula " ) , the people who made this movie can't tell the difference between explicitness and eroticism . No build-up at all , just throw naked women on the screen ; no , it doesn't work that way . If close-ups of female genitalia aren't your thing , prepare to be looking away from the scre... |
485,803 | 386,241 | 74,906 | 3 | A fiasco ! | This incomprehensible picture simply doesn't make any sense . Considering its cast , it's a real disappointment . Even the two stars aren't very good : Nicholson gives a decent but mediocre performance , while Brando overacts embarrassingly , although it was probably impossible for any actor to play such a badly writte... |
487,441 | 386,241 | 157,262 | 3 | You've been warned . | If you're a Leslie Nielsen fan , and you desperately want to see this movie , don't . It's a disastrous , too-frantic , headache-inducing , long , sloppily directed , senselessly written comedy . Read the comments on this page instead ; they are funnier ! I'll give it one star ( instead of none ) out of four though , s... |
486,000 | 386,241 | 366,285 | 3 | Hot girls , dreadful film | Carlito's Angels is a spoof of " Charlie's Angels " that is not afraid to spoof even itself at times , however that does not mean that the film is above criticism by the viewers as well - it is amateurish and juvenile ( I think " fast-motion " stopped being funny around 1914 ) . The assaulting rap music often drowns ... |
485,825 | 386,241 | 102,122 | 3 | Very badly acted and directed . | The actors in this laughable , straight-to-video erotic " thriller " seem to be in a competition for booby prizes . It's really hard for the viewer to decide who gives the worst performance : the stunningly untalented Tanya Roberts , the irritating and unnatural Timothy Bottoms or the amazingly unattractive , horribly ... |
