Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
keelhaul-80856 I got this movie as part of a "Horror" pack at the grocery store. This is the worst horror movie, but the greatest comedy of all time. It is one of those movies that could have been made in your high school film class, only the high school version would be better. It has one or two decent actors in it, but they can't save a film like this! Basically, a skeleton rides a horse through the woods and attacks people for no reason(though possibly he wants revenge or to protect the burial grounds?) and wears a Wal-Mart costume and trash bag. He carries a broadsword, which apparently Native Americans bought from Crusaders in Europe. The Special Forces team sent to stop him looks more like the front of an L.L. Bean or Abercrombie catalog. Apparently, SEALS and Delta Force use 100 lbs. cheerleaders with long hair for these dangerous missions. The Indian skeleton man warps around with bad graphics, and then ends up killing poor guys in a power station. Finally, they blow him up, even though thousands of bullets couldn't stop him nor explosives for the whole film. He even brought down a chopper with a bow and arrow!!! LOL. This is one of those movies you love to hate. It makes me laugh every time I even think of it. The budget must have been about $50 and a free meal at Denny's to sign on for this project.
cameron-kills-it Oh boy, I do believe I found a film worse than "Don't Go in the Woods"! I'm surprised I actually managed to get through as much of the movie as I did (30 minutes)! Do I even need to explain this movie's many many flaws and problems? I don't? Well, I'm going to anyway! First off, the "monster" is a hooded ghost that has the same vision as "Predator". So the monster is actually a cross between predator and the headless horseman. Right. The acting is terrible, like where did they get these actors? I didn't believe that anybody could be THIS bad at acting! Oh yes, and the special effects. Well, they ain't exactly Tom Savini, that's for sure. The people who get killed look like they spilled some ketchup on themselves while eating lunch. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the case. Anyway, if you happen to spot this one in the bottom of the five dollar bin, then make a cross with your fingers and run away screaming. Whatever you do: Don't. Watch. This. Movie. Do it for your sanity.Rated: R for Ketchup and Tough-Talking Army Guys.Grade: F
Woodyanders There are two kinds of bad films. There are bad films that are so incredibly ghastly that they are quite entertaining in their very awfulness. And then there are bad films that are merely substandard in a decidedly blah sort of way and hence aren't even remotely amusing and/or enjoyable in their exceptional crumminess. This steaming pile of sheer celluloid excrement about an elite army commando squad running afoul of some deadly mythical Native American bogeyman called Cotton Mouth Joe in the remote wilderness falls into the latter category of bad film. This abysmal junk strikes out something rotten in every possible way: the flat (mis)direction by Johnny Martin, draggy pace, idiotic and nonsensical script by Frederick Bailey (in one especially ridiculous sequence Cotton Mouth Joe butchers a bunch of folks in a power plant), cardboard characters, mostly insipid acting by an understandably unenthused cast, annoying shuddery score by Chris White, the lousy (far from) special effects, tacky gore, badly staged action scenes, a crippling dearth of tension, a few clumsy flashbacks, tin-eared dialogue ("I don't wanna die, man -- I wanna go home!"), a by-the-numbers obvious and predictable plot which shamelessly copies the much superior "Predator," and a titular spectral killer who looks like he's wearing a chintzy Grim Reaper costume that was purchased for five bucks at a K-Mart Halloween firesale all add up to one extremely shoddy dud that reeks worse than dirty old socks. The always dependable Michael Rooker tries hard as tough squad leader Captain Leary, but even he can't rise above the teeming tidal wave of sludge. Poor Casper Van Dien gets saddled with a terribly underdeveloped role as the laconic Staff Sergeant Oberon and veteran character actor Robert Miano is wasted in a nothing bit part as a crazy old blind Indian dude. Only Richard Briglia's slick cinematography shows a modicum of competence. Absolute dreck.
AeraCura Like the previous commenter, I love terrible movies. This disaster, however, was almost painful to watch. The first time I saw this movie, I honestly thought I had hallucinated it...Its THAT bad. Approximately 0% of it makes any sense at all. The characters are completely insane, the fact that one of the recon team members was a self proclaimed expert in "underwater demolition" boggles my mind every time. None of this movie even involves water...Regardless, this movies makes me laugh every single time, what with the numerous random fireworks and scene continuity failures. I almost feel bad for those involved with Skeleton Man, because it is, in fact, the new standard for terrible movies. That being said, I never miss it when its on TV and if I could find the DVD, I'd buy it.Also, I agree with brett, Mansquito may be one of the best terrible movies ever made. So bad.....yet...so good.
