2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Bre Daly Top seven things that are wrong with this movie:1.)I bought it at the Dollar Store.2.)The acting was atrocious. I think the worst scene was when she stabbed the turkey/chicken because she thought it was coming alive.3.)The sex scene was beyond terrible. It lasted around four seconds and there was no emotion involved. It looked like a bad high school play that no one bothered to memorize their lines to.4.)Oh, before I forget: the beginning of the movie where she births an alien from her vagina is just horrid.5.)The part where Jenny is trying to get away after stabbing Todd with a pencil, in the arm, might I add, and he begins limping away makes me want to throw my remote at the f***ing TV screen.6.)I wasted a dollar and eight cents on this movie. I could have thrown that dollar at a stripper on stage.7.)The time I wasted watching this movie, I could have gotten a college degree.I would not recommend anyone waste their time watching this movie. There are much better things to do.
laurcohn It is rare to see an independent movie made and get the recognition it deserves. This movie is full of surprises and unexpected details, which takes lots of hard work and dedication from the all those involved in the process. This film maker is passionate about what he does and it shows through in this movie. Support artists (writers, actors, special effects, editing, sound) and you will notice the craftmanship involved in this movie. See this movie,you won't regret it!!!! The special effects and acting skills are really impressive. And to top it off, the story will have you thinking for next couple of days, and you won't be able to get the images out of your head!!
Eric I don't know what some of the "critics" of this film have been smoking, but I don't want none of that. They be expecting Citizen Kane and this movie isn't Citizen Kane, but I like the twists and turns of this movie. I thought some of the special effects were crappy, but what do you expect from a low budget movie. I probably would have gotten rid of some of the special effects because some of them are laughable, but movies like this are not watched for the special effects, but for the script and directing angles. Give it a break. I love these people who bash a movie when they can't do any better. See this movie, not for the special effects, but for the twists, the directing, and even some of the acting is good.
Digibody In a world where Hollywood special effects and pretentious "pretty" actors rule the screen with no content, finally a film is made with intelligence, substance and meaning. A picture that makes you reflect on the subject matter and really think weeks after you've seen it. Yes, this film had no budget. Yes, it's picture image is grainy. Yes, it wasn't shot on 35mm film. But boy did it blow me away! It starts off with characters that are real. A depressed guy about to marry a girl. He doesn't care about the wedding. The girl is so stressed out by the wedding she starts having nightmares. The guy (Todd) cares more about his wannabe writing career than his fiancée and, on a whim, he writes down her dreams, submits it to a friend who works at a Talent Agency and they next thing you know, he sees a window of opportunity to jump start his career. When Jenny starts taking medication to stop the nightmares, Todd gives her a placebo to keep that story material coming for his all American Novel. Arguably one of the coolest plots for a movie I've ever heard. Congrats to the filmmakers for their originality and vision. I admire their passion and creativity. Can't wait for the next one.
