skammeraasen Review of Man with the Screaming Brain

Man with the Screaming Brain (2005)

Damn this sucked.

[1/10 · 6 August 2005]

this was hands down the worst movie i've seen all year. i completely understand why it isn't in wide theatrical release and going to the sci-fi channel. it really felt like i was watching a piece of crap sci-fi channel movie. i guess that's because i was.

i like bruce campbell from what i've previously seen. bubba ho-tep, jack of all trades, brisco county, and of course the evil dead movies. i've seen him at a book reading before and found he's pretty funny. none of this showed at all in this movie.

i thought that since he was writing, directing, and starring, it had a chance of being alright. i cannot remember a time that i was this wrong.

i wouldn't recommend wasting your time even if you get to see this for free. definitely not worth paying to see, unless bruce is there himself on a promotional tour (as he was when i saw it, he was funny, the movie still was not). in which case, pay to listen to him, ask him a question or something, then leave when the film is about to start. it may sound dumb, but trust me. you'd make better use of your time if you were doing anything else.

i reiterate: awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful, awful piece of cinema.
