a movie called "The Room". It is really horrible but you can't look away. It's become a classic of bad movie making ala Plan 9.

A small sample.

If this were anything but a truly lousy movie, that would be the surprise

This Kirk Cameron dude's beliefs are no more or less than those who assembled and run the Creationist Museum in Tennessee (or Kentucky?)

He thinks The Flintstones was a documentary and he's expected to produce anything better than this?

Not likely

The competency that we take for granted in most theatrical films just isn't there in Plan 9. Oh, look, there's the boom mike. Why are the aliens on the flying saucer dressed in medieval tunics? Why are the gravestones flat on the ground and why are they made out of cardboard? Why doesn't vampire in the graveyard look like the old man outside his house when they are supposed to be the same person? Why won't Chriswell just shut up?

This is what happens when the producer/director either doesn't give a two bit damn for the picture or really doesn't know what he's doing. File it under obvious mistake to avoid.

I suppose it is the ultimate Hollywood irony that a film biography of Plan 9 producer/director/writer Ed Wood won an Oscar.

I'd like to put Christ back into Christian. most Republicans don't know a thing beyond the old book. So they are something. not quite Jewish but Not Christian thats for sure. Now I don't know what Kirk is doing here. Looks like he's for Happy Holidays. How is Santa?? smh... we don't act that stupid on Christmas Scrooge alert... worse than a certain Ben Affleck movie I know. eh can't imagine it..

and read the blurb on "Saving Christmas." Somehow I had missed out on this gem.
I told Mrs. Lib that that was the worst meta rating I had ever seen. Son of a gun I was right.

Hope they will use "worst movie ever" on their ads.

It looks like a Pat Boone family Christmas TV Special, only with a cultural mix (with appropriate stereotypes, of course).

It was so boring. I don't care if some Christian movies are made, but can they at least be entertaining? Hollywood is big enough to have all sorts of movies, but Kirk Cameron cannot make a good movie to save his life.

I have an odd hobby of watching bad movies. And I want to see a really really horrible one someday. So far all the bad ones I have been pretty funny, so not really in the horrible movie catagory. This one I wouldn't watch on a bet.

You know what will happen if they don't.

The Original Review:
"It is amazing just how bad this fucked-up excuse for a movie is. It stretches the imagination to think people actually got up in the morning and put makeup on so they could be in this God-awful piece of shit. Only see this movie if you're thinking of embracing Atheism and need a reason to take the plunge."

What will be in the commercials for it:
"Amazing...stretches the imagination...see this movie!"

One of the worst pieces of crap in the history of time. Even as a kid I found it awful. Want to see Harrison Ford melt down? Remind him he was in this turd. It was so bad it should be used to torture prisoners at Gitmo.

Hilariously bad, however, was Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park:



Try to find it with the original non-remastered soundtrack. Much funnier.
