THE APPLE (1980) This sounds bad enough to check out.

I seen it. A horrifying movie! :buggedout:
it took me a long time to track this down, I had to get a czec import dvd in the end.... it's definitely bad enough to be good, but also has some vaguely interesting parallels to today's 'surveillance state' society in the storyline (...maybe)
Bad movie fans need to see it.

That's putting it mildly 😳
Leftover Glam Rock costumes with moth holes and bad bad bad songs. It ranks... well, just rank. Made me laugh unintentionally several times, but it's a cardinal sin for a movie : BORING!
I didn't like it either for the same reason.
No singing, no acting, no songs! Marginally musical, worth a few laughs at it's cheapo crappiness, but just dreadful. MANOS is more entertaining.
It had like a socialist message I think?
Pro-hippie, anti-disco. That's as deep as it goes.

Well, I 'spose, you mean like Inspector cheezus Freaks...? Professor god Higgins walks outta the sky, invites the right people to walk into the sky, leaving the worst singers on Urth....? The apple is a reference to Alphie and Bibi, er, Adam and Eve TEMPTATION, but NO Christianity. Definitely WTF?

No. It's definitely bad, but not in any good way. Definitely
no fun allowed. Few movies have ever achieved such inadequate mediocrity married to a bad idea to begin with.
well, I mean, I am not alone in thinking this... let me cherrypick some quotes from imdb reviews:
THE APPLE is so audacious, so over the top, so
totally awful that it is simply wonderful...a positively guilty pleasure to top all guilty pleasures
-
Look high and low, far and wide, but it is unlikely that a more splendiferously hideous film will be found
-
an appalling piece of crap that nevertheless makes you want to enjoy the guilty pleasure again and again.
-
A marvelously absurd and messed-up one-of-a-kind camp masterpiece.
-
the most enjoyable bad/good movie I've seen in a long time... I was never bored for one second
and so on... don't get me wrong you're entitled to your opinion but it js just that.
Yeah, I agree with those who say it's tremendous campy fun. I love it. But to each his own.
I've seen it a few times and love the camp/badness of it, but I never bought it on physical media. Not intentionally, it just never happened.
I definitely understand why any bad movie lover would enjoy THE APPLE. I hated it so much, I can't wait to see it again... :wink: :thumbdown:

I applaud your bad movie taste, worse than mine.

ah, I thought you said it committed the cardinal sin of being boring...
much as I like bad movies, if they're boring then I'm not interested.

Generally, I'm bored with GOOD musicals, so I'm not surprised I'd be bored with a BAD musical. I guess the BAD outweighs the music and I am curious to sit through it and take notes...! :teddyr:
tbh I also find 'good' musicals pretty boring... not a genre I've ever got my head around. A MIGHTY WIND miht be the closest I get (and even that's a parody)
The only musical I liked was ROCK AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL.
