i seriously feel for the person that mention in his review of this film that he pay to see this in the theatre in 1987 ( he buy two ticket which at the time total $ 10 . 50 ) . not only be he subject to a severe test of his patience a a film goer and but have to lose money in the process . ironically and this be the same year that evil dead 2 come out star bruce campbell and a movie that be most likely playing at the very same theatre ( which would have be a far good choice even on the whim of a guess over fita ) . what a bad stroke of luck this guy have . this film be not only bad and but it be not even laughably bad . laughably bad be the following film represent the core and the hill have eye ( the original ) and troma war and class of nuke em high and class of 1999 and bad taste ( although entertain for it gross out quotient ) . these film have merit for the sake of know they be bad . they make u laugh because it self parody . flower in the attic somehow find a new low in cinema ( or find one i should say ) . i feel disgust for not only myself since i can not have the 90 minute of my life i waste watch this garbage and but for every single person involve in the making of this film except for the director ( he be solely responsible for it fruition ) . a a crew and i be sure they have to smile a lot around the director during production so a not to look dumbfounded and disgust . my guess be when the director yell cut . and the crew let out a not so obvious sigh of relief . even more so when he announce and that a wrap . the acting be very bad and the photography be uninteresting and the location be mundane and the role of the grandmother play by louis fletcher be not convincing whatsoever and and the list go on and on . the main thing to attack really be the script itself and which from what i hear from fan of the novel it be adapt from be one of the most tragically altered rendition that they know of . what else could top these thing on the list of bad other than the fact that two lead actor have u not at all concern of their plight or unease . they be not physically torture in the film ( which bring me to ask and why be this movie pg 13 . ) and but in one scene when the grandmother knock over the daughter beloved ( and highly fragile ) music box and the daughter scream in agony and twitch her face a if she be endure 15 lash across her front torso . you might be curious to see this film just to see how bad it really be and but that would be a mistake . you will almost find yourself feel unclean and your stomach will assuredly churn . bad of all and much like the poor guy that remember his experience in the theatre some 19 year ago and you will unfortunately remember this film for a long time a the most horrific of traumatic film experience ever to take place and be record in one memory bank . the young ons in south park have inspire me to take a road trip across wherever to track the director down and ask not for monetary compensation and but simply for 90 minute of my life back .
