Wrong on every level; Re defines 'bad'; A new low in Bumblecore

[coldwarkid · 1/10 · 26 November 2019]

If you go right to the bottom of the pile of Prime's worst movies ,and then keep digging you may come across this. This is so far beyond terrible, but I did manage to laugh. It's set in a dystopian USA that has been "overrun" by Globalists (The S.C.R.A.G.S,honestly!) The rebel faction are the 'Pales'. The scrags head a conspiracy , whereby they kidnap pale women and breed them to create a global race of light skinned people. I can't believe that I'm writing this. I won't bother with the minutiae of the plot, but our 2 male, pale, heroes rescue a couple of unappealing females from the scrags , they live happily ever after. To be fair there were a couple of well shot scenes involving the car, with interesting music, but these were totally at odds with the rest of the film. The acting was completely and utterly diabolical as was the script, I think I've named a new genre 'Bumblecore'. The action scenes were risible in the truest sense. The special effect, an explosion, was made on a machine running Windows '98. The costumes were really funny, the fascist cops wore gas masks for some reason, and what appeared to be children's toy helmets that didn't fit properly. It put me in mind of very old b/w episodes of Dr Who. You could see that it was the same mishapen actors that were in every fascist cop scene. Lastly, it was made in black and white, apart from the scenes when it was inexplicably in colour. I've only bothered to write this because, once again it has been given a mystifying rating of 6.7, while on planet Earth 0.67, would have been generous. Perhaps if you were watching this with a few mates, beers and, smoking a few euro-fags, followed by Plan 9 FOS, it could be a giggle. Right now I score it as 1/2, the only reason that I scored so high is because the actresses kept their clothes ON!

A Bill O'Reilley Special

Anytime I see the words "globalism" I think Fox News. This whole topic of the danger of open borders is an attempt to spread fear and hatred by spinning a fake narrative about immigration.

A better title would've been "Bernies World"! With the "Squad" as his cabinet.

Controversial but enjoyable

[edwardforsyth-78540 · 10/10 · 10 January 2020]

This movie is very controversial with the content. I enjoyed it tremendously and at first i did not like the Black and White, but it grew on me. I don;t understand why so many people think that this is propaganda or anything. For crying out loud, its a movie. suspend your disbelief for an hour and a half and just enjoy what you are watching.

Was This Movie removed?

[behindthegavelpodcast · 8/10 · 10 January 2020]

So i watched this movie back in May of 2019 and now, i cannot find it on Amazon. I wanted to show a friend. Has the movie been removed?

Anyway, i did enjoy this movie and at first, i was like "scrags, really?" but then i understood what it meant. I've read the other comments and i disagree with them saying that this is pushing an agenda.

Great Indy FIlm

[DamienMarko · 10/10 · 10 January 2020]

You can clearly tell that this was a low budget movie. With that said, it was not disappointing. I'm only assuming that their funds was limited but they did it well. I like the acting by the characters of "Bronson and Jam" The "explosion" at the end was cute. I would definitely watch a sequel

Entertaining

[doctahpheel · 10/10 · 10 June 2019]

His movie is very entertaining. The topic will certainly make you think. I enjoyed this movie and give it high score. For being an independent film it was done very well

I Saw Them FIlming

[JimFrancis73 · 10/10 · 10 January 2020]

I live in Mt Dora, Florida. I saw them filming this movie one night and i was super curious as to what was going on. I thought everything i saw was great. I always wondered what went down in the process of creating a film. After watching the movie, i agree with all of the messages the movie is saying.

VERY CREATIVE and ORIGINAL

[lastingmarkproductions · 10/10 · 10 January 2020]

WOW...BEST INDIE FILM I'VE SEEN IN A LONG...the filmmakers reversed everything around in the movie...a la Planet of the Apes. These other reviewers obviously don't get it, This film is so different than what Hollywood constantly churns out... GREAT STORY.. I LOVED IT!

I want more!

[phillipalexanderbyrd · 10/10 · 10 January 2020]

I really like how this movie gave us an dramatized version of "what if" I would really like to have the director deep dive possibly in a prequel showing how exactly "scragland" happened. It would be fascinating
