Is It Just Me......

Is it just me or is this one of the worst films ever in the history of celluloid? I usually have a pretty high tolerance for crap but this tipped the scales brother. The second "chapter" was just ill. I mean that electrocution thing alone actually forced me to reconsider the wisdom of shelling out $5 or whatever I got punked out of to buy this suck job DVD (that came with about 8 other equally retched films of dubious craftsmanship).

BTW....If I ever meet the folks who are responsible for that break dancing band of jagoffs who seem to know only one song, there's gonna be some violence.

Sure, it's one of the worst movies ever made but it was assembled out of three different movies and the result is an insanely incoherent film that has a strange entertainment value.

believe it or not, I saw this on a TBS broadcast when I was little. I remembered the crappy train, the God/Devil and the electocution machine.

I thought it was crappy then (+ editied for tv) but I suppose I'm more easily entertained as an adult.

This could be the ultimate excursion in 80's cheese. Bravo. Uwe Boll dreams he could make a movie this bizzare/strange/crappy.

I love it... like it was my own retarted child.
Its trying so hard and failing so miserably.

God, just the opening is enough to tell you that this movie is craptacular beyond any reasonable doubt, belief, or wonder.

"Craptacular" - I love it! Just sums that picture up in a nutshell. Interesting, but sad to see John Phillip Law, Cameron Mitchell, and Richard Moll sink so low.

Sounds good. It's on public TV tonigt.I'll have a stiff drink first.

i was suspect as to why the terrible voice-overs kept guiding me through the movie, but now I know since it was edited from 3 feature films the reason was to try to make some sense.

i love all movies, but this is just rediculous. it saved me the time of having to watch any of the films this was edited from, although I might have to check out "Death Wish Club" now.

[–] KHayes666 16 years ago

The actual Death Wish Club movie is just as bizzare as the segments you see on Night Train to Terror.

My question is, does Limewire have Dance With Me on mp3?

If you want to see worse, just turn on the Sci-Fi channel Saturday afternoons.

Not only that, it's the worst film in the history of cellulite, and boy is that saying something.

Yeah, it is truly terrible and an embarassment in every conceivable way...it was described as a "total train wreck" to me and it's accurate. "Everybody But You" might be the worst ear-worm song ever to get in my head.

Some films are SO bad they make one laugh. It is a delightful romp to see how BAD some peoples talents can be- ha ha.

I just saw the movie on TCM last night. Whoever put this film together really should be ashamed of themselves. I feel sorry for anyone that wastes money on a DVD of this movie.

Ten years later...no, it's not just you. Not even close. Anybody who makes himself slog through it will know a little bit of what it's like to have been to hell. Thematically consistent, but still.

I'm always up for a good bad movie. This is just plain bad. At least it's a reminder of why not to be uncritically nostalgic about the '80s.

[–] kanuffelrik 8 years ago

Agree, I DVR'd this on TCM (yes TCM!! :-) and watched it without knowing much about it. Yes, it is ridiculously awful, but I agree with others that it is fun to watch! I like the occasional bad/cheesy horror movie and this definitely tops that list! I was absolutely cracking up in the Claire Hansen segment when she has a nightmare, looks out the window and that head comes in! So many amusing parts like that!

[–] emncaity 8 years ago

Yeah, I hate when that happens.
