There's a certain ambition to some low budget films that make up for the lack of studio backing with a creative vision. Directors like Dan Trachtenberg started their careers with low budget shorts, and have proved to actually have some talent. That's what makes this movie even more reprehensible. It had a $5,000,000 budget, and it failed to even assemble one coherent scene. There are talented directors, actors, and composers out there that struggle to get even 1% of that funding, and this piece of garbage "film" exists as an affront to all of them. It's not just an affront to those rising stars, it's an affront to the art form, dating all the way back to the first film ever made. This is an embarrassment, a film not fit for viewing, and hopefully the last film that Mark Region will ever touch.
Its incoherent plot is marred with sloppy, lazy mistakes. The sets are mostly cardboard and look like they were assembled by an unimaginative child. The soundtrack is awful and sounds like it was made by an untalented imbecile that found a keyboard at a pawn shop for $20 and scammed the director into letting him onto the team. The acting is largely undirected and reminiscent of the type of acting you'd expect from a 90's adult film. There are several moments where people making noise off-screen distract the actors. The editing is sporadic, which is not an adjective one should use when referring to the art of editing a film. Scenes linger for way too long, there are strange cuts to pieces of paper on the wall (which are mostly out of focus.) There's even a few moments where text was added to walls in post, but everything except the text is out of focus and blurry. It's truly pathetic.
If that wasn't enough, the director made hundreds of accounts to rank this movie up. There used to be dozens of 10-star reviews on this very website. This is undoubtedly one of the worst movies ever made. It makes Neil Breen's work seem like Scorsese, makes Tommy Wiseau's work look like Spielberg, and it makes the films I made as a child with a handy-cam look like Citizen Kane. If you enjoy the worst movies made, I recommend this to you wholeheartedly. It's a chore to sit through, but with a friend that also has the dark problem of enjoying terrible film... there is no finer undertaking. The best part? The movie is so forgettable that you'll instantly recover once it's over.
The actual worst movie ever made, 1/10, thanks for reading.
