Dreadful

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 2003)

I've seen some lame movies, but this is one of the worst I've ever seen. This movie is just plain painful to watch start to finish. It's not even the type you can enjoy mocking, it's just plain stupid. I can not believe the rave reviews this movie has got. And to everyone who says "You just don't get the message!"... believe me, I got it. Everyone who has been forced to watch this movie got it. I'm not ignorant, I just don't care. The message is every bit as sickeningly dull as the movie itself.
Every time the story even starts to get going, something so freaking stupid it makes my very brain ache happens. Have a touching moment about God vs Random... follow it up with a story about a girl puking on herself. Yep, that's good cinema.
We have a family who are so dumb it's sad. No TV, it's evil. Don't ever talk to the girl who swears again, she's evil. Don't ever talk to any people from out of town, they're evil. Don't ever call anyone by anything but their full name, it's evil. Don't prey, it's evil... or something, he doesn't know. Got it? No? Cry about it now, because every 35 minutes there's gotta be a crying scene.
Now we get to the aliens. Not only are they absolutely the worst aliens I've seen in ages, they're the stupidest as well. They can't break down a freaking wooden door or boards. Give me a break... these absolute cosmic rejects would be destroyed in mere minutes. The most retarded aliens to ever cross space.
This movie is so very flawed it's hard to find the right words to describe it. All I can say is if you see some kind of deep message that you find awe inspiring then you're grasping at straws. Stop praising this worthless lump of a movie and go join a local church group. As Mel pathetically says in a very weak voice: "I'm insane with anger.. arrgh."
