The Worst Film Ever

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

At one point a... Kid somehow manifests into being (via his dad who's come back as an alien through a way I won't get into right now) a... Human-sized toy soldier that attacks an old woman who lives one floor below them and... What?On the one hand this movie looks ugly - it has the film stock of a porno - but it's also so genuinely bat***t that I almost admire it's incompetence to get to the weird. I should put this all down more for lacking logic or just a simple explanation now and then - how does the alien or aliens work, how does stuff happen, why do they need to latch on to others to suck human essence, what's with the clown and the panther and I could go on - but I never doubt that the filmmakers are going for something truly demented. It's not Humanoids from the Deep, for example, trying to be a real movie and then have a bunch of carp effects and monsters and graphic rape. As a ripoff of Alien with some ET and The Thing allusions (intentionally or not), it's a true WTF artifact of the 80s, and the effects are creatively gross and morbid.

Tony's father Sam, abducted by aliens three years earlier, returns to earth and seeks out his wife and son, but Rachel has since been living with Joe and the reunion is awkward. Joe does not trust Sam, and Rachel cannot quite decide what her feelings are for her two men. Sam is not the same as when he left, and he begins affecting Tony in frightening ways.This is one of the strangest films I have seen. And I have seen many strange films, wading as I do in horror, fantasy and cult flicks. This one is... well, hard to say. Definitely horror and definitely science fiction, but far too strange to be a straight narrative in either genre.One suspects the budget was zero, as nobody of note was involved in the picture. Bob Shaye produced for New Line, but this was before New Line had really gotten to be a big name. And yet, budget or not, we have some of the finest practical effects and creature designs you may ever see.

Fans of schlocky '80s horror flicks are going to love Harry Bromley Davenport's "Xtro". Sort of a mash-up of "E.T." and "Alien", this is one movie that's not afraid to do anything that it wants. I have no doubt that they had a lot of fun filming it.It turns out that a number of the cast members have had prominent careers elsewhere. Bernice Stegers (Rachel) appeared in "Four Weddings and a Funeral"; Maryam d'Abo (Anneliese) was a Bond girl (and a first cousin of one of the members of Manfred Mann); Anna Wing (Mrs. Goodman) starred on "EastEnders"; Robert Fyfe (the doctor) appeared in "Cloud Atlas"; and Sean Crawford and Tim Dry (the monster and the commando) are a mime duo. What a combo for a movie that features makeup work rivaling that of Tom Savini.I understand that it got mistakenly labeled a Video Nasty. If you're not familiar with that term, it's a reference to movies that the British press criticized for their violence. Moral crusader Mary Whitehouse* (known for her homophobia) led a campaign against the Video Nasties, and some local jurisdictions began prosecuting them. As always, these holy rollers get in the way of everyone's fun! Anyway, it's a really fun movie, especially a certain scene featuring Maryam d'Abo. In conclusion: Joe Stalin never imagined his likeness appearing in one of THESE flicks! PS: Although none of the names are supposed to match those of real people, there was actually a Sam Phillips. He was the founder of Sun Records, which recorded Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis.*The recent movie "Pride" (about the alliance between gays and miners during the 1984-85 Miners' Strike in the UK) featured a scornful reference to her. It sounds as though a good nickname for her would be England's Anita Bryant. I like to think that she did double flips in her grave when the UK legalized same-sex marriage.

I do like a 'so-bad-it's-good' kind of film. However, never has that phrase been more applicable than in the case of eighties British sci-fi horror film, Xtro. It was awful. The acting was diabolical (especially the 'human freckle' which masqueraded as a small boy throughout the whole of the film). Every character in the main family had different accents - just off-putting in my opinion. And the plot made little to no sense.It revolves around a father who gets abducted by aliens three years ago and hasn't been seen since. Then, out of the blue, he returns. Seriously, that's one family that will soon wish he hadn't.What follows is a tale of complete randomness, mixed with shades of the sci-fi classic Alien (and much horror, not to mention some female nudity which will keep the guys happy). I'll say it again: it was awful. Yet, for some reason, I just couldn't look away. I stuck with it right until the end, possibly hoping to get an explanation. I didn't. But what I did get was an hour and a half of weirdly enjoyable fun - it's like David Lynch wrote parts of it when he was drunk. You hear about 'carcrash TV,' well, this was 'carcrash film-making' at its very best.If you have a strong stomach and want a bit of eighties, cheesy gore, give this a go. Any film that has aliens and dwarf clowns in with rubber bendy hammers has to be worth ninety minutes of anyone's time!
