Anyone ever seen it? The worst movie I've ever seen. Shot with a camcorder.

No you don't. It's disgustingly bad. If you do decide to see it, prepare for the worst movie ever. I litterly get headaches thinking about it.

I seem to remember a STOOPID TV show by the same title at about the same time.
A cheap knock off of Police Academy's Tackleberry character who would talk to his inordinately large revolver and it would talk back.
Any connection?

No, this was a slasher movie. The tv show is far to famous anyways. Definatly a conincidence.

Half the movie was shots of one thing in slow motion. For example there was one 5 minute scene of just two teenagers prancing through a prarie with acoustic fingerpicking in the background. There were at least 10 more scenes similar to this one.

I loved the comedy cop show, but never saw the horror movie. Sounds like it could be superbly bad!

This review pretty much sums up the entire movie.

It has to beat that movie for not causing eye bleeds.

Never seen it but I plan on buying the DVD.

Ah, Sledge Hammer, how I miss thee!

As for the slasher movie, I think I'll pass.

Isn't this the one involving a steam train, an aeroplane, a big dipper, a bumper car, and a fruit cage?

Flangepart · March 29, 2011, 08:31:03 AM

If it does, that the TV show...IIRC...
