When Bad Movies Happen
|
This is a collection of mostly questionable movies, the primary question being--who thought they were worth making? Are there huge tax breaks for people who put up money for bad movies? There has to be an explanation.
Many of these movies aren't just bad, they are brazenly bad, as if spiteful filmmakers made them just to insult the audience. Some of them are more like surveillance tapes than professional movies. The few that are worth seeing are undermined by dreadful picture and sound quality. Virtually every film in the collection is a bad print, with breaks, scratches, cue scribbles, or missing footage. When I say footage, I mean sizable chunks are missing from some films, from seconds to minutes. The picture will be grainy, blurry, murky, or washed out. The sound will be garbled or muffled. There is unintended buzzing, crackling, and snapping.
On the other hand, some reviewers say these problems are part of the charm of this collection. You stand warned.
One artfully bad movie with decent picture and sound quality is Night Train to Terror. A few more like this would have made the collection a good buy.
There is an upside:
I gave the collection an extra star because it might be a good buy for some people. If you have someone in your life who is going blind and/or deaf, watching these movies will give you a clue what they are going through. For someone stranded at a desolate outpost with hours to kill and no TV reception, this collection provides hours (and hours and hours) of low-cost content that conceivably beats twiddling your thumbs. One review mentions soldiers in Afghanistan as likely beneficiaries of these tastefully selected craptaculars. Don't they have satellite TV over there?
On a portable DVD player or iPod, picture quality isn't as much of a concern. If you are flying from the United States to the Philippines or Australia, this collection might help ward off boredom on a marathon flight. I can think of better material for such an occasion, but this type of movie does have its admirers.
And yes, as one reviewer noted, the packaging is good.
