I see a lot of peoples making reviews and saying that a movie was so bad they made an account to "tell us" and/or that it was the worst thing they ever saw. I find this silly as i always find a few redeeming qualities about movie even if there is clear issues or if i was kinda bored. Well today i can pretty much say i watched the worst movie i ever saw.
So first of all, i am the kind of guy who enjoy low budget VOD (formerly Direct to VHS/DVD). I watch tons of them and i always judge them on how much they entertained me while taking into consideration their low budgets. I never expect to rewatch them or anything but if they moderately entertained me for 90 minutes, job done fine enough. I can't even do this with this movie.
So lets go over all the issues. First the acting was horrible. They make "actors" in Brazzers scenes look like Oscar contenders.
What about the directing/camera work/special effetcs? An Angry Video Game Nerd episode on Youtube look oscar worthy as well compare to this.
The biggest issue is the doll. Its not even animated ! They basically have it stand still or in some pre-made position, then they film in its "point of view" then switch to some feets moving to give the impression that its really moving, while a few times they had it shown in movement but it clearly looks like someone is holding it (can't see the bottom) and move it in front of a camera. No animatronic what so ever. Exept one close-up shot once, the mouth does not even move when it talks.
When i say i saw better special effects in an AVGN episode, i am not joking. This look like something some university student made for a projects. They rented a luxury house, paid a few models to "act" and somehow Eric Roberts ended up in it, wich is not surprising as for years he took gigs in all sort of terrible movies.
Some peoples could say this movie is so bad its good, like Tommy Wiseau's The Room, but no its not. The Room is quotable and while Tommy Wiseau acting is bad, he is so funny to watch. The situations are so absurde that it make the movie funny. This movie on the other hand is not once you realize it will be the same for the whole runtime.
Yes i did chuckle a bit during the 20 first minutes because i couldn't believe this was really that bad. I was hoping that at least i would get a few good kills with low budget practical effects wich would overlay over the bad acting, and maybe some T&A as the "actresses" (who can't act at all) are for the most part very attractive. But nope. Not even one little glimpse of nudity. There is even a goof in a bathub scene where you can see the character wear a bikini as water move (while she is supose to be naked and hidden by bubbles).
The doll not moving mean they were very limited with the kills and none of them are interesting even if on paper a couple had original concepts. We can't really see much... There is only one that is "shown" a bit more but the jump cuts to make it worth are so ridiculous.
Also for some reason this doll has the strengh of Michael Myers, being able to totally imobilize humans, while its 12 inches tall ...
Is there any redeeming quality in the movie? Well the music wasn't horrible... altough nothing special. The women were hot and spent most of the movie in bikinis... But thats not enough to be worth an extra point.
But with all of this said, i just want to make something clear. It may be the worst movie i saw on an "objective" and technical side of things. As in almost everything beside the music was completely incompetent and amateurish. BUT its nowhere near my most disliked movies like Black Christmas 2019 or Star Wars The Last Jedi because it is not offensive in any way....
It is just a terribly made movie made with a few thousand dollars (probably) that i will forget in 1 day.
