Is this a movie so bad it's good?
I am a big fan of awful movies that are fun to watch and laugh at with the guys while gettting drunk. Is this one of those movies or is it so bad it won't be any fun at all? Thanks for the responses.
shareI love to watch bad horror movies, TRUST ME DO NOT WASTE A MINUTE OF YOUR LIFE OR A PENNEY OF YOUR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE!!!! I couldn't make it past 10 minutes, it is that bad. And not funny at all.

I love "bad" horror movies. But most of the time they know that they're stupid and the actors/director just have fun and end up making a pretty entertaining movie. For some reason the d bags that made this movie were trying to be serious and make a genuinely scary movie that turned out to be the worst movie I have ever seen. The Hottie and the Nottie was better than this....like 5 times better at least.
P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
if this is the worst movie you've ever seen you haven't seen too many...
1. anything uwe boll has ever done
2. i spit on your grave
3. the last horror movie
4. the american version of most asian horror films
5. plan 9 from outer space
i could go on but itd get more annoying...
anyway..the acting in this film wasnt all that hot but the camera work was solid, the makeup was great, the production was decent for a thirty thousand dollar film, and there was some attemptive originality and freshness which is more than i can say for most michael bay/jerry bruckheimer films. is it the best zombie film i've ever seen? no. thatd probably be the original dawn of the dead.
honestly though..if you can look past the mediocre acting and just enjoy it for being an independent b cheese ZOMBIE film..it's not all that bad. i'd give it a 7 out of 10.
thesweetestperfection, I have to disagree. This was terrible. After watching it, I thought, "Wow. That was awful." Then I wiki'd it, and found out they made it on a budget of $30,000. I then initially thought, "Well, it's not so bad, then."
But after thinking a bit longer, I realized, no, it really was awful. Here's a guy who presumably scraped money together to make his vision come to life. And what was his vision? A mediocrity of a zombie film full of loose ends, set to a knockoff alexisonfire/Linkin Park soundtrack that's already dated.
And here's a free tip to the writer/director: having your characters yell 'AAAAAA!' a lot does not sufficiently convey emotion. It's just annoying, and only shows you should've spent your 30 grand on some screenwriting/creative writing classes instead.
crappy acting, crappy dialogue, crappy character development, crappy story, crappy camera work, crappy everything. rating=crappy

An Uwe Boll movie, at the very least, provides laughs for entertainment. This movie doesn't even offer that; it's a terrible attempt at making a seriously scary horror movie with an inept cast and crew. It wasn't scary, it wasn't dramatic; it was pointless.
You said the camera work was solid? Since when did having a constant soft focus filter on, ridiculous and reckless use of shakey-cam and close ups to ruin action sequences, and terrible cuts constitute solid camera work? It was atrocious. Uwe Boll can at least make a picture look focused; that's way beyond the technical capabilities of this film's crew.
As for the gore... so what? Since there's no camp value or humor to it there's not really any enjoyment to gain other than marveling at how much fake blood they can throw on the actors. The gore serves no purpose, it has no context because it's too over-the-top for the tone of the film (and the fact there's absolutely no dramatic tension to make you care about the people dying), and about the most creative it gets is when a zombie rips a fetus out of a woman's womb and eats it like an apple. If you think that's a good time, go knock yourself out. Just don't even try to call this movie "good" or even "mediocre"; it's just a bloody mess and the director should never be allowed near a camera again.
The words "Independent" and "zombie" should not be used as excuses for making terrible movies.
'I Spit on Your Grave' is a classic exploitation film, and at least it's watchable, engaging and coherent which is more than this film could *EVER* say for itself.
