The Worst Horror Movie Ever Made (2005)
A few flaws, but overall enjoyable
"The Worst Horror Movie Ever Made" was an experiment of some sorts by shock master Writer/Director Bill Zebub. This film was never introduced as a spectacular film, but it is hardly the worst horror movie ever made. The result of this "experiment" is a decent horror/comedy. The horror part should be taken with a grain of salt, because like most horror films, this movie is not too scary.
The plot is complicated, yet not. It mostly focuses around a couple who are running away from the police after all their friends mysteriously get murdered during a party. During their "great escape", the couple run into a long series of bizarre horror clichés that give the main setup of the film. Yes, the experiment was to include every cliché of horror movies and to pack it into one tight parody of horror films.
The plot can sometimes be hard to find and follow, but there is enough humor throughout to keep an average viewer entertained. There are different types of humor presented in this film, and some are more obvious than others. Whether it be the giant crap monster that attacks a couple (crap joke) or it be the King of Diamonds at the tarot card reader (subtle music joke).
Like other Bill Zebub films, the budget is rather low, and the actors consist mostly of people who probably don't act for a living. A lot of people may be turned away by this, but the acting does not take away from the film. These actors are hardly the worst. There may have even been worse acting in big Hollywood productions, but anyway- the actors do a fine job in delivering the material, and the leads- Jean Potter and Rocco Maritone III act well together.
Do not be deceived by the rough appearance of this film, if you watch it with some friends, you will surely appreciate this film for what it is, and don't be too offended by things, otherwise you won't be able to appreciate this film or any of Bill's other films.
Bad Acid (2005)
Great movie by an underrated genius
All of Bill Zebub's movies are great, primarily his comedies. He is really good at forming complex intertwining plots that seem rather simple at a glance. Bad Acid is no different. It is the tale of an acid addict who goes on a series of horrible LSD trips. The results are rather comedic and the laughs are in abundance.
The film chronicles Bill Zebub's weekend while he is tripping on "bad acid". Not only does he have to deal with the horrors that the drug bring him, but he has to manage a radio show, his girlfriend and his boss. Bill loves to go around partying but his girlfriend wants him to spend more time with her which gets Bill into a lot of trouble and eventually risks losing everything with his habit.
Great soundtrack too. The tunes never stop, and that's a good thing because they're all fantastic numbers by the likes of Shape of Despair, Immolation, The Wicked, Korovakill, Thy Surpent, Bethlehem and Mercyful Fate.
The acting is generally better than people say because the movie is scripted just like the language of "normal people" which makes a nice realistic flow for the movie.
I've seen on too many reviews for Zebub's movies people denoting the movie because of the quality of film and budget. These people are close minded and can't extract the greatness from these films.
Of course this film is not for everybody, but fans of B-List crude rude and appalling comedies will rejoice when seeing this movie. Good job Bill Zebub!
