This was fucked up. 

It's also got some excellent cinematography for a relatively unknown horror movie. 

Story's slow and basic, but works and is genuinely unsettling. 

A hidden gem in my humble opinion. 

Never seen this before, wish I had. Absolutely brilliant! So over-the-top silly, but played almost completely straight. Good, action-filled diverting fun, as long as you don't overthink it.

I suppose everyone else has seen this, but I loved the setting on the microwave here:

OK, I don't get independent cinema... Slow moving, but full of symbolism, lots of meat, sleep walking, and a dog. I did think the two main characters were quite convincing though.

There must have been a plot somewhere, but I think it got lost... More stupid so-bad-it's-good stoner humour. It doesn't matter that it doesn't make a lot of sense because most of it is pretty damn funny. Features some first time appearances by Michael Winslow and Peewee Herman, and early roles for Phil Hartman (The Simpsons) and Rita Wilson (Mrs. Tom Hanks).

Pretty weird. Very good though. 

More stunning with every viewing. 

It's said that George Lucas took the plot from this for Star Wars, but the similarities are very slim. 

A distinctly Guy Ritchie film. Solid but in the shadow of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch.

This did little for me, despite having actors I like in the lead roles. I felt that the film didn't successfully convey the tension of the situation too well and it would have worked better within a shorter running time, since it's slow both to get going and slow to make progress toward the conclusion. I'm reminded of why I don't usually like Disaster movies and I expect it'll be some time before I take a chance on another one.
