Why The Bad Run?


Why did this movie get jerked around so much? It was filmed in '88, and at that time Anthony Michael Hall was a pretty well-known actor, but it got shelved. Then a limited release in '90, but then shelved again. Then again put out a few years later, where I remember it hitting HBO and Cinemax in heavy rotation for a while. Problems with the distributer or what? Just wondering what the story was.

Hi, and sorry to answer your question over 8 years late.

I don't know if the movie is any good, but I know that Gnorm the Gnome is freaky looking and not at all cute. I bet he did very poorly with test auds and probably gave plenty of little kids night frights as well. Not sure why they couldn't come up with a more decent looking puppet. Might have made a big diff.
