I expected this to be a horrible movie when I saw it playing on Satellite and noticed that it was a "horror" movie that came out only two years ago (1998) yet I'd never heard of it. I was really bored and was just waiting for my wife to finish dinner, so I decided to give it a try.
This was definitely one of the worst 5 movies I've ever seen. Even the actors didn't seem to take the movie seriously it was so bad. The special effects were non-existent, appearing to be random un-related clips from some 1950's horror movies. The picture quality in some of the scenes certainly dates back to the 50's. The sound of the bugs was so ridiculous I can't believe a producer with any amount of self-respect even let it by.
But the good thing about it was that it really wasn't annoyingly bad, like Blair Witch. It was bad in a way that made it very funny. I couldn't help but burst into laughter over the town maniac that kept screaming, "They're coming!" It's hard to tell if this movie was made with the intention of actually releasing a high-quality movie or if it was some April Fool's joke. Either way, it's good for a laugh. I wouldn't rent this movie. I wouldn't even try to find it on the cable or satellite schedule playing for free. I'd just keep it in mind and if you ever come across it and you're feeling blue, just watch it for a few minutes and it may breathe some life back into you.....if it doesn't kill you first.
I gave it 2/10, only because I want to guarantee that nothing ever gets as bad a rating as Blair Witch.
