    I usually wait to comment on TGWTG, but this movie was so bad I needed to just say this here:

    What the hell?

    No, seriously. This movie looks like it was some college/high school film class (that probably would have gotten less than an F) project, and it was actually released?

    I am pretty sure this movie is the worst piece of crap you’ve ever reviewed, yikes.

      I can’t help but agree. I didn’t think it couldn’t get any lower than Thankskilling and its “Turkey anal rape” scene, but somehow they’ve done it.

       

      And I do love how as a final slap in the face (or more accurately, a bunch of five across the eyes, dur hur. Heh, that pun was still more entertaining than this movie), after trying desperately to be gritty and realistic (making the camera shake in all directions and go out of focus for absolutely no reason is realistic, right? Right?), it ends with a joke. As if the movie wasn’t enough of a joke by itself.

       

      And what is up with the shit throwing scene?! No seriously, what does that achieve?!

      That was exactly what I was thinking! I do better camera work videotaping my family opening Christmas gifts. May not be totally suspenseful, but you at least know what you’re looking at the whole time. If I had just done it in a car I could’ve gotten a release!

      That movie looks excruciating. They weren’t even making bad decisions instead of good ones – every decision was wtf! Super appropriate end credit music too…

      I think I could watch a feature-length of Phelous in the car. It was well-acted *and* entertaining! 😀

      The fact this thing… has an official release really blows my mind. I guess I could just go to a vehicle with 3 mini dv cams and shoot some incoherent whining and get one too.

        And if it doesn’t sell, you could always do what snobish directors always do: claim that thos who criticize your work simply aren’t open-minded or intelligent enough to understand your vision.

         

        But seriously Phelous, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you have much better writing, directing and special effects skills than most of the people who made the movies you review, so I could definitely see you make a good feature-length movie and have it released. I bet it’d be sucessful.

        After I saw After Last Season had an official release, I believe that anything can get one.

    Gods, I remember this one… I rented it as a freebie when it first came out… I was enjoying a weekend to myself, and I honestly had trouble enjoying the rest of the weekend because I actually sat through the whole thing, refusing to just fast forward…

     

    What made it worse was that I read a number of reviews before it came out that claimed it to be ‘brilliant’… The entire gimmick of the camera never leaving the van is just… wow. I’ve seen some stupid ‘artistic’ choices in my time, but I think this takes the cake. And the gimmick that renders the film unwatchable is just the beginning of its problems.

     

    Before this, I used to think that Cabin Fever was the hardest time I ever had sitting through a film. Damn… Even the SNES-style ending music hurt.

     

    Good job on this one, Phelous, but I don’t think there’s any way you could make this watchable. I barely made it through this thing ONCE, for crying out loud!

    I thought it couldn’t get any worse then Turkey handpuppet beastiality horror movie shitathon, but no, this movie, released in 2008, took the rohypnol filled, shit sandwich which is the most horrendous movie of the era of movies, but still Phelous, why do you torture yourself for our amusement?

    No, I don’t believe this is a real movie. I don’t care, wheather it’s a fact or not, I do and will not believe it.
    You or somebody else made this up, to have a really dumb thing to review.

    Dude, the Dr. Who theme is at its best iteration in this review!  Any idea where I can find an MP3 of it?

     

    As for the movie……SHIT, GOD, SHIT, OW RIGHT IN THE FACE, SHIT, STOP TALKING, *bonk* ow by doze!, this looks like concrete, sped up rape horn, OH SHIT ITS IN MY EYES, bandaids fix shotgun wounds, DADADADA, star wars music “Yes Ator, I know the secrets of the gods”, the end.

    Your skit was infinitely more tolerable than the movie, mostly because its impossible to talk over yourself.

    This movie, film, or whatever it is makes The Room look like a good movie. I had to get out of full screen to give my head a rest from the crappy camera work. I’ve seen compact digital cameras with better video quality!

    Warning that should be played before the copyright screen:

    WARNING!!! Motion Sickness Medicine should be administered before attempting to view this piece of crap!

    i’m convinced this was some sort of student film or local kids making their own movie. I looked on IMDB and it said it was a budget of $4000.. Lets see. A few hundred for at least 1 camera and DVDs or film. Gas money for all the driving. 5 girls 1 woman.. plus small crew.

     

    My guess it was some idiot teen/early 20s kid who watches movies a lot decided “Hey i can do that..” and wrote a script inside of an hour or two. Then got friends/locals to be in it.

     

    No studio would make this on their own. Hell even the Asylum has better writting than this. This was a student film that some kid lost money on and needed money so he sold it completely finished to a studio for a few hundred to try and recoup his losses. The sutdio then produces it and sells it to suckers (like Phealus) who watch this abomination after shelling out money to buy or see it. The studio quickly makes massive amounts of profit due to the low cost of obtaining the film.

     

    Thus the cost to profit ratio makes this a highly successful movie… sadly this can mean only one thing… SEQUEL!!!

    I wanted to shut the review off withing the first couple of minutes, but I felt that I should suffer even through the parts that you put in, Phelous, just because that must have been so painful to watch it fully through.

    What…WHAT IS THIS???   I don’t get it.  My mind is
    muddled… I’ve lost all hope in humanity and am spiraling into
    nihilistic despair… I’m entering a Silent Hillish nightmare world from
    which there is no escape… I–WAIT…HOLD THE PHONE… I just realized
    something — WHEN YOU GET KILLED, YOU’RE DEAD…When you get killed,
    you’re dead??…When you get killed, you’re dead!!!…I understand
    now!…It all makes sense!!!!! AH HA HA HA HA HA AHA AHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHA
    HAHAHA  HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!! Wait–who are those men in white
    coats?…where are they taking me??…. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  NOT
    AGAIN!!!!!  CURSE YOU PHELOUS AND YOU’RE INSANITY INDUCING

    Great review Phelous, you are probably my favorite of TGWTG.
    I just realized that you didn’t die once again, are you even real Phelous anymore?

    Phelous good review as always and I could really tell you were trying to put some energy in this movie. IT looks boring and you look bored the whole time. Did you have to snort a bunch of cocaine to stay awake. Normally I would not condone drug use but in your case and in the shit you have to watch. Its ok Phelous Its ok. Get stoned as drunk as possible to forget this horrible thing. Fuck watching people die at nursing homes has to be more detrimental for you than the movies you review.

    But I thank you for watching this shit for me. I know I shouldn’t be making suggestions on here. But Give the Movie Hangman’s Curse a try its too horrible for words to even describe.

    Okay, so since this movie is literally nothing, I refuse to have an opinion about it to save my heart from the trauma.

    Instead I will just comment that your subversion of the Doctor Who line was brilliant, I loved it. Kinda glad you went with Three, cause I was one of those sappy unmanly people who sobbed at that awful audience-manipulating line. (Goddamnit, Davies, you knew we would cry, you puppetmaster!)

    Holy Shit!  This movie was filmed really close to my home! Of course, any jackass could film this in their backyard.   Actually, I think Evil Dead was filmed there too… Who in the hell would think to shit in their hand to use as a weapon against a pursing vehicle?  They must be UT girls…

    Stupid insane lady, she should’ve killed those stupid crying girls with no sense of direction and save us from this garbage so called ”movie”…my God…how can someone create something like that piece of shit?! A fuckin’ retarded child with a camera can think of something more useful or even less painful than that.

    Phelous…you’re a brave man, lol…be able to watch that shitty movie and still survive to review it., brave man, brave man indeed, lol.

     

    Awesome review, as always!! I love your videos!!

    I think this movie more than any other before it proves that Phelous suffers for us all. I can’t even call this a movie, it’s like a high school film project gone horribly, horribly wrong.
    I’m glad you survived this Phelous, whatever comes next can’t be as bad as this crap!

    Did you actually film yourself watching it the first time or was that scripted in?  I think it would be fun (for us) to see your reactions to watching these horrible films for the first time.  AU NATURALE.

    somebody gave this movie, HA “MOVIE”. 4/5 stars.
    he said that it’s extremely suspenseful, that making a movie on so low budget (probably just gas money and coffee, is what he says) just makes it that much better, that it’s pure and raw due to the claustrophobic videography, and finally the fact that it’s not full of glorified gore is just awesome.
    he even compares having the gore off screen to the original texas chainsaw massacre. HOLY HELL!!!

    I can’t see anybody thinking that way about this film EVER.

    I could probably word this better in a spoken conversation but this should probably get the point across.

    When you said the girl shit in her hand to throw at the other car i thought you were joking. But once that fact was proven i actually jumped to the illogical conclusion that since this film’s budget was apparently so low, that they must have used their actual shit. Most people including myself wouldnt ever assume something like that… But somehow after looking at the quality of the movie i just sort of accepted that somehow, for a moment, without even a second thought. Like ” oh yeah fake shit is probably way out of their budget”
