The Worst Film Ever
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
If this was in black and white and made 20 years earlier it would perhaps be seen to approach the cult genius of films like Carnival of Souls or Daughter of Horror.The bad acting and general amateurism seem to add to the nightmare quality of the film (and the washed out VHS quality print i saw helped too).I know I'm perverse, but i enjoy these sort of outsider creations way more than the latest blockbuster - its almost like you have to decide to allow them to be what they are, rather than expecting them to conform to more conventional cinematic standards.
As you may have gathered from the other reviews, this film blows... and not just hard, like Gail force winds blows. This movie could blow "...a golf ball through a garden hose." (FMJ: Kubrick) Sadly, as much as I despised it, misery loves company. So my friends and I have made it a life goal to ruin as many people's lives with this atrocity as possible. I had rented it so many times that I felt I was giving the creators too much money for this crap-on-tape. So I bought it. It is so terrible, in every way. Mother of God... But don't take MY word for it, see it for yourself. But if you decide to do so, please make sure to remove all objects from your vicinity that you could potentially forcibly insert into your vision holes.~Murdoc
Easily the worst movie I've ever seen, do not even watch it as a joke, or to see how bad it can be, trust me, it's horrible. The acting, the "special effects", everything... I hope all copies are eventually destroyed.The tag line is "The Jar - it blows the lid off of terror" I'd shorten it to just... "it blows."I can't put this anymore clearly, this movie is atrocious, and not even in a "how can any movie be this bad? I've got to see it for myself and see what I'm missing." kind of way.No, don't do that. piece of crap... walk away. awful.
Spoilers below. THIS MOVIE FILTH! I honestly hope they were kidding when they took the premis of this movie and adapted it into a film. The main character mainly wanders around turning his lights on and off, and drinking water. When he isnt doing that he is either abusing a woman who loves him because carring rocking chairs has left her in a state of life debt to him for eternity, OR having the most boring and poorly lit halucinations ever. There are things in this movie I just don't understand. Like the seen where we witness three minutes of our hero (Read: inept hairy fool) walking down a street. He finally arives at his destination (See's Cookie shop) we then wait outside for him to buy I cookie. I wish I were joking. Then he eats the cookie and walks away. The Plastic figurine under blue lighting is never thwarted by cookies, the main characters have no passion for cookies, the heart of a woman is not won with cookies, THIS SCENE IS USELESS!!! Much like every other scene in the movie. Also, the ending of our main man's life, involves randomly walking up to a potted plant, feeling a leaf on it, then digging in its dirt. Then a face is uncovered and there is a poorly lit orange spot to the side of it. Our main character screams and is never seen or heard from again...right. In the next scene his body is gone, so I am left to ponder my meaning in life. This movie is artsy film making gone horribly wrong. And as a note to its producers, real artists use light (and get the subject in the frame). They also do at least SOME sound before post production.
