Monster a Go-Go (1965)
This Movie Gave Me the Wim-Wams!
Monster A Go-Go is truly a black hole of a movie, sucking all life into it's nihilistic void. It appears to be (even if it's an attempt to question all appearance) a desperate attempt at making a movie in which nothing happens. And perhaps it succeeds. This alone makes it fascinating, even if it's boring to the point of wondering if you and the movie actually exist.
But worst movie of all time? I say no, and here's why: there is nothing in this movie that offends the senses, mainly because there is nothing in this movie. It's like hating a brick wall, or a black hole, or the number zero. Troll 2, on the other hand, is infinitely offensive--to the eyes, ears, to the mind and to the soul. It is also emotionally devastating. It's a nightmare that actually deletes a part of your inner being. There are no characters in Monster A Go-Go, and, hence, no one to hate. But there is not one single character in all of Troll 2 that you do not want to murder, so foul and revolting are these disgusting, annoying, shrill, anti-characters. The acting in Monster is dull and robotic; the acting in Troll 2 is infuriating. And at least Monster A Go-Go has a monster in it. Troll 2 has no trolls.
I will say that I'd rather watch Monos: The Hands of Fate than Monster A Go-Go because Manos is at least awesomely bad in almost heroic ways.
Funny Games (1997)
Minus Infinite Stars Burning Eternally In Hell
There are certain films that use extreme violence to paradoxically sensitize us to the effects and causes, as well as the ugliness, of violence. Then there are films that use the above as an excuse to indulge in violence simply to satisfy a perverse lust for sadistic self-gratification. This film falls into the latter category.
Actually, this film is in a league all it's own. Imagine what a film made by young Nazi hipsters who get their kicks out of torturing and murdering Jews would look like. Then multiply that by 100 times. You'd be somewhere near the sickening moral black hole this pretentious "film" is.
Unlike most IMDb users, I reserve 1's for movies that are beyond bad and into truly diabolical. So it is extremely rare that I give out a one. But there is no number you can put to how revolting this movie is. It literally made me sick for days and plunged me into a severe depression. And that's from someone who thinks Natural Born Killers is a masterpiece. This movie took a part of my soul away. It is a nihilistic "f**k all, but look how cool we are in doing it" masturbation-fest. Oh, but don't you get it? It's SO ironic.
Please do not see this movie, unless you are a big fan of the Hitler Youth.
