Review of Zaat

Zaat (1971)
1/10
Probably the worst movie ever made
25 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I consider myself a connoisseur of bad movies, but this one is really something special. Compared to this, Plan 9, The Room, Manos: Hands of Fate, and even Killer Shrews are all masterpieces.

There are unanswered questions in almost all movies, but there are simply so many in this one:

  • First and foremost, why exactly did crossing a man with a catfish seem like a good way to rule the world?


  • Why do they keep cutting to a sea turtle during his attacks?


  • What did the octopus have to do with *anything*?


  • Why did the guy who was following him still need the Geiger counter *after* he had him in plain sight. While we're on the subject, why didn't he simply shoot him at that point?


  • Why didn't the sheriff use the gun in his hand? Opting for a fist fight with a man/catfish really seemed like questionable judgment.


  • While we're on the subject, where did that gun go?


  • Finally, they rescued the girl *before* he did anything to her, so why did she decide to become a fish at the end? Was she bowled over by his charm?


Anyway, all I can say is wow. Just, wow.
