Today was a black day, friends, for today I saw a movie so bad I ground my teeth through the whole damn thing. And I felt disgust with myself for coming up with my *you buy your ticket, you stay for the entire movie no matter how bad* theory that I wrote about in a recent post (Elektra 8 Feb 2005).
You want to know what the movie was, and I'll tell you - it was Seed of Chucky.
Understand that I LOVE horror movies. The very first movie on videotape I ever saw was The Evil Dead and that experience was such a high point in my life, I have considered Sam Raimi a GENIUS ever since. Another example of a good horror movie? 28 Days Later (2003) I believe I know a good horror movie when I see one. Seed of Chucky was not a good horror movie. It was an abomination, a cinematic abortion, inexplicably displayed on a large screen for people to see.
Let's take a look at what was wrong with it, shall we?
The son of Chucky and Tiffany had a ridiculous face and an annoying accent. The dialogue was dumb and not funny. The story was idiotic, at no point was it compelling. The rare gore scenes were unimaginitive and boring. Every few minutes I felt like throwing a rotten tomato at the screen. Nobody laughed, not even once. My teeth hurt from grinding them. I couldn't get up and leave because of my idiotic rule. The projector did not break down like I was praying for it to do. The movie went for 80 minutes - 70 minutes too long.
If you have seen this movie, I would be very interested to know if you found it as objectionable as I did. Did you grind your teeth? Click on *Comments* below. Thank you.

Never saw it and won't and even if
you hadn't badmouthed it, I would
have....without seeing one frame.
But I do like the title.
