Without a Doubt...The WORST MOVIE of the DECADE !!!

"I sometimes enjoy really lousy movies....those that occasionally result when people (even talented people) get together with good intentions to produce a movie and for whatever reason it turns out to be a disaster. Movies like "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", "Plan 9 from Outer Space", "Manos-Hands of Fate", and "Heavens Gate", etc.



So, when I heard that this movie, "Rachel's Attic", was considered by many people to be the single worst film of the decade, naturally I just HAD to see it.



Boy, do I regret that decision. This movie is beyond bad....it is SO bad that it is not even as enjoyable as the usual bad movie. The acting, filming, script, etc. are exactly like a 1960's porno film: utterly horrible, completely incomprehensible, and a complete waste of everyone's time and money. At least the porno film has porno to break up the monotony, while this ridiculous nightmare has a guy squeezing a rotten apple, and a "mad hatter's" tea party.



The lighting is non-existant...many "scenes" take place in semi or complete darkness, which is probably just as well. The "writer-director" (I use the terms loosely), David Tybor, tries to get kinky with bondage scenes...but the results would be laughable, if they weren't so pathetic. There is some nudity, but it is of such abysmal quality that it actually acts as a sexual supressant. I could go on forever and not do justice to all the flaws and shortcomings of this truly awful waste of film.



To add to my disgust, the DVD I watched appeared to be new, but was defective and some portions could not be viewed. I am not sure if this is a common occurrence, but take this as a warning and be prepared to request a replacement if yours proves defective also.



Better yet, skip this trainwreck. I know that despite my negative comments, you are probably still tempted to see if this movie is really as bad as I claim it to be....but trust me on this....it is, and you will absolutely, positively regret the experience (and expense, if you waste your money on a purchase or rental)."

Unwatchable

"It is not possible to sit through more than ten minutes of "Rachel's Attic" without wanting to rip your eyes out of their sockets. I didn't think it possible to see a film that is so monumentally bad on every level. Lighting, acting, shot composition, music, sound mix, and what the creators of this film apparently try to pass of as a "story" all add up to what is possibly the worst film ever created. And what's more, it's 16mm, meaning that someone spent an awful lot of money on this one.Please, for the love of God, and your own respect for the art of cinema, avoid "Rachel's Attic" at all costs."

Terrible.

"Couldn't watch it. Gave it a chance for 20 minutes, and it sucked worse then than at 15 minutes and ten minutes. This wasn't worth the media it was produced on."
