SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Foreverisacastironmess Didn't care for this, the creature was just so insanely grotesque and the way it warped around the screen in the spasmodically chaotic fashion to the electric flashes made me feel nauseous. Uh yeah I really hated it, it turned me off right away with the guy talking to this bizarre bobble-headed abomination which answers back "Blah blah blah!" Before completely wigging out! I thought it was stupid and completely up its own ass smug and obnoxious, there was really nothing to or about it beyond a little shock value, and it certainly wasn't deep in any way shape or form, that is bull, it featured a very impressive creature effect but that's about it as far as I'm concerned. Bad video, sh*tty music, and has any one taken a closer look at what the freaky title picture of this tune is actually composed of over there on the left? Lol that's so f*cking disgusting! Meh, I very much prefer the awesome videos for Windowlicker and Come to Daddy, now that I would call a real work of art - I'm aware that all music videos are art by definition, but I'm talking about the video part of it.. Some really loved it, yay, more power to them..but I surely did not sir! I'd say to abort and burn this annoying crap, in that order. Gotta go wash my eyes and ears out now...
Stonedwithoutdope Altogether this is an enjoyable little movie but you can really enjoy it if you imagine it as real life footage. Chris Cunningham and his crew make this out as if they are filming actual footage of a deformed teenager and if you know the back story it can strike your brain as fairly disturbing. They do it well.This shows footage of a severely deformed super flexible teenager living in solitude in his dark basement where his parents keep him due to being ashamed of him. All he has for company is his frightened dog. This will show his reaction to someone trying to get through to him and a little dance number to keep himself occupied in his dull life.Overall this is a great little enjoyable film and spooky at that. Bravo Chris Cunningham, you rock.
bikerpug This short film has a "night vision" appearance, that is it looks like it was filmed in darkness with a infra-red camera. It starts with a blurry twisted "thing" speaking gibberish in a dark cellar, while a voice attempts to converse with it. Soon the "thing" becomes agitated and must be sedated.The faceless voice leaves, and a broken florecent light flickers as a small dog walks nerviously looking at the strange being in the wheelchair. Then you get a good look at the twisted creature, a distorted nude humanoid in a wheel chair with a huge bulging head mouthing bizarre sounds. Then it starts to get weird....
sette7 we have to wait a long time. several delays with funny stories "why". but finally it's released. everybody want to have the movie. so i give three stars for the marketing. that's it. the movie itself is nothing more than a music video for me. even not a good one. while "come to daddy" is one of my favorite, "rubber johnny" is far from that. no story, only eye candy. but, hey, what do expect from a music video. stop – it's not announced as a music video but as a movie. no go! when i saw the trailer the first time i thought "wow", that will be a crazy movie. now i'm very disappointed. "rubber johnny" starts good and than – no ideas anymore. only fx. dear chris, better not try to do a feature!
