Another post, same subject: TERIBLE MOVIE. Did anyone notice...


On top of all the other comments everyone is making about this piece of garbage, let me add my own personal favorites:
1. I counted 47,513 times when Paulina and/or Judd were about to escape, and then the Trasher grabbed their legs at the last second. Whether they were crawling away, climbing a ladder, etc., after a while, you just knew the Trasher would grab their feet every single time.
2. This is one of those movies when you literally scream at the characters because they are so stupid. When Paulina should have stayed put, she got up and walked into trouble. When She should have run, she stayed put. Like when she first fell down the dumbwaiter shaft. The killer was too fat to fit inside it, so she was 100% safe. But did she stay put, noooooo. Her acting was surprisingly great, but her character was terrible.
3. Judd is the janitor/resident, but HE didn't know about the secret escape path via the sewers?? The trasher figured it out all by himself?
4. My favorite: The cops discovered the lair of the Trasher who had killed 24 people and had their bodies in his lair. A few hours later, the Trasher kidnaps the kid and takes her back to his lair. Not one cop was down there! Not one fed was collecting evidence! The lair was just exactly as it looked a few hours earlier, without a single cop down there or a single piece of evidence removed! Could you imagine when the cops discovered Dahmer's house or the Unabomber's shed, and they just said, "OK, we found his hiding place. Now let's all go home"
Did anyone else notice these things??

I was screaming too. HBO movies just wasted an 1:45 of my life. I wanna make a movie. It may suck but it coudn't be this bad. Do these directors/producers have ANY idea how people act in life? What a joke movie. I never wanna live near those cops. They are the dumbest ones Iv'e ever seen. I guess the director really must think cops are pretty stupid.

Worst movie ever

Ive never seen anything so bad, especially when he got shot, and sewn himself back to good health.

I was laughing hysterically the whole time.

rofl totally! I really liked how the severely overweight man can be so quick and nimble, and also be stronger than a UFC fighter on PCP and Crack. And even better was how none of the shotguns seemed to work properly, cause if they did the movie would have ended about 3 times before the actual ending. And the way all of the cops handled ANYTHING at the end was just turrible, but i guess its just how all cops are in this universe of not-trained officers.

Im the boss.
