One of the top contenders for the worst movie ever made!


I have seen quite a lot of movies, but I have not been as shocked at the sheer idiocy of any movie, as much as I was when I saw Braindead. It is a horror-comedy I know, but this movie insults the viewer's intelligence waaaaaaaaaay beyond the tolerable limit. I am fine with cheesy, sarcastic, over-the-top, demented, gory, leave-your-brain-at-home, etc type of movies as well, but what the heck is this? This movie was completely pathetic without even a single point of redemption. Wait...was this even a movie? It was so bad that there is no point debating the merit (or the sheer lack of it) of even a single scene in the entire movie.

For the love of god, I cannot believe the director is Peter Jackson! If I had seen this movie earlier, I would not have ever dared to watch any of the more respectable movies he made later. And 7.5 on IMDB? WOW? Just WOW! I have not seen such a misleading rating for any other movie. This movie makes me feel that there should be negative rating that allows users to rate below zero.

You didn't actually offer any criticisms of the movie. Trying explaining what you didn't like about the movie and maybe someone will listen to you.

If you have truly watched "a lot of movies" as you claim, and yet you truly think this movie is among the worst, then I must question how many movies you really have watched.

Sheesh. The movie is a whole lot of fun and quite inventive. The time while watching this movie never dragged for me.

I truly like Kubrick. But I would rather watch this movie 10 times than have to sit through Barry Lyndon one more time.

Sure, there is something to be said about great themes and ideas in movies. But there's even more to be said about, you know, entertainment.
