but now I know from where that Ryan Murphy quack plagiarized the last season of his show.

I wouldn't call Berserk a "terrible" movie. It's just an average thriller, but if you like this kind of film where a lot of characters get snuffed out before the killer is revealed, it will make do on a slow night.

But if you want to see something that truly is Terrible with a capital "T"...watch Trog.

Can you dig it? I knew that you could!

The execution (pardon the pun) of BERSERK is just fine, but the story is too lame. There's just not enough there. While Ty Hardin's improbable seduction of Joan is exhaustingly pointless, though undoubtedly in his contract.

It's not half as good as CIRCUS OF HORRORS --- if only Crawford had been in that one!

The best part of BERSERK, aside from Joan (who's always good value) is the elephant sequence.

So bad it's a camp classic. The dialogue is pretty terrible.

I saw it with an open mind, I love Joan Crawford, but it's pretty bad.

I liked it fine. I liked the side characters that worked for the circus and were all so ready to throw each other under the bus. The actual circus attractions were entertaining. It's weird that Joan Crawford is in this though. The only real problem is they string the audience along with so many false leads that the real identity of the killer is anticlimactic.
