Spoilers.... TERRIBLE FILM!

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2004)

The Butterfly Effect feels a lot longer than its nearly two forgettable hours, especially by the third visit to the kiddy porn dungeon. This is a movie in which a dog is doused with gasoline and burned to death; a young boy is choked repeatedly by his father, then his father is beaten to death before his eyes; two 7-year-old children are ordered to strip and have sex by a pedophile with a camera; and when the main character is sent to prison for murder, some skinheads develop a queer eye for the straight guy. For the record, The Butterfly Effect has absolutely nothing to do with butterflies, and its only obvious `effect' is to make you want to take a shower. With any luck, the Butterfly Effect will be the worst movie I see this year, but it is a long year and I plan on seeing Hellboy next so
