1988's 'The Carrier' was the movie nominated for no awards and received zero acknowledgement from the Academy.
So, a Lutheran gathering celebrating the crucifix of a famous figure head is in full swing until a rebel, with Starkweather inspirations, causes a ruckus with a pursuing melee, resulting in his ejection from the shindig.
Returning to his rundown shipping container, he's attacked by what looks like, um, who is that, a rabid Big Foot? He's infected with a virus immediately.
It's called 'The Carrier' so whether he's an aids carrier or positive for rabies is anybody's guess.
The movie doesn't bother explaining what the rabid creature is. Is it Moth Man or Deer Man? Who knows?
Somebody's been crossbreeding with animals of the wild out there. Yeah, we must be out in West Virginia. Lonely ole, desperate, and perverted people.
Don't tell me he turns into a werewolf with terminal diseases or something. Is this a werewolf in London rip-off?
A wild lightning storm knocks out the town's power supply, and this is exactly how the killer worms came to be in 'Squirm.'
I feel that the very start of the movie is its downfall, and it kind of meets you halfway, like Lincoln Hawk was referring to. It just started; like, 30 minutes of its puzzle were missing. We're dropped in on a kid who the whole town despises, and he has a shady background that involves murder, but the viewer isn't really let in on what it's all about.
Whoops, boom mic at the 12:04 minute mark. Up the top there, "Surprise, Cindy."
The movie stars some baby face loser who sports peach fuzz on his chinny chin chin and kicks a can around town as everyone's got it in for him.
Out of nowhere, the book of the dead possesses a hillbilly's hand for no reason and causes him to go ape wild. At least it livened up the movie, as it was going nowhere due to the lousy beginning. A live baby chicken is sacrificed as an offering to the Necronomicon, and it has no problem consuming the live creature.
Later in the movie, cats are thrown against a wall and consumed by the absorbent boards.
More baby birds are fed to a power pole, and the only solution to the mystery is to hold a town hall meeting and shout at each other.
A doctor presents his COVID case, but a priest chants psalms as a defense, and everyone believes the bubonic plague has forsaken them for their sins and taken them back to the dark ages. That's not a bad analogy, as they start dressing like medieval dungeons and dragon warriors in sandwich wraps and garbage bags later in the movie.
It's hard to make the god-fearing townsfolk believe the evil dead are responsible, and this negligence costs two their lives and are swallowed down an outhouse.
Meanwhile, baby face wishes he could just leave town and does his best James Dean impression, but this ain't no 'Rebel Without a Cause.' With paranoia running rampant, a handful of twits in town go to extremes by wearing saran wrap around themselves as preventive measures to counter the evil dead virus.
Is this where that Covid fairy-tale came from - an over imaginative mind who watched this movie one too many times?
The trees that are alive out there in the woods are even possessed by the army of darkness and claim two love birds. Even though she was immunized with the saran wrap, the evil dead still managed to break her defenses and claim her life.
None of these actors are household names.
Is baby face James Dean, with his Starkweather tendencies, the carrier?
And what happened to the yeti that attacked him earlier? Isn't that taking any further part in this movie? At least have a movie monster run around to add spice to the mix, as this is a bit bland and not explained properly.
The movie lost me again, showing how the virus burns people for no reason. And it loses me again a third time, as it's not explained properly what the cats have to do with it.
40 minutes into this movie, and I'm still in the starter block. "Hello." You went ahead without me, movie.
The town folk realize that the saran wrap is useless, so they upgrade to 'Blade Runner' raincoats and end up all looking like Road Warrior warriors. Some of them look like King Arthur swordsmen, while others resemble the doctors from 'ET.'
One game nameless actress removes her hefty bag fashion wear and is consumed by an evil dead cabin mirror with 'Death Bed: The Bed That Eats' chewing sound effects 'n all.
Is it safe to say this time period is somewhere between the 50s meets the 80s?
I bet all the imbeciles at Waco and Heaven's Gate watched this movie on a regular basis and believed its message.
Hmm, inspired by Zodiac men's wear, a bizarre scene sees two warring factions squabble over the property of stray cats, then they all re-enact the Lake Berryessa incident and start stabbing anyone at random.
And is the following scene for real? They kill a child, then terrorize two other little ones. The movie's turned bizzarro.
I'm actually being drawn into the chaos and stupidity.
It's like it's turned into a completely different movie altogether, like Japan's 'Battle Royale' meets 'Beyond Thunderdome.'
The discount piano score sounds like an old saloon funeral piece throughout.
And so, a battle like Gettysburg finalizes the movie, but what do I care? I got left behind at the beginning as I couldn't decipher the what, why, or how.
Unlike protecting fuel in the 'Road Warrior,' these twits wage war over cats, but it's not properly explained what their involvement is to ward off the evil dead.
These actors are all wearing garbage bags - how fitting. It represents the entire movie.
Did I really just watch that in its entirety?
As for the ending, argh, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Boy, oh boy.
