To Become One

This film highlights the dangers of camcorders. Whereas even the likes of awful low budget grade-Z directors like Ed Wood.Jr (Plan 9 from Outer Space, etc) had to be able to afford big, heavy equipment like cameras, lighting, etc, now anyone with a cheapish camcorder and some friends can make a lousy film!

This should be made compulsory viewing as an example at how not to make a movie. It starts off as a slasher genre like 'Friday the 13th', etc and then moves into 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest', or 'Snakepit' psycho babble terroriser and even Jim Jones suicide death cult! A complete inept mess. Don't confuse a jumble of bad ideas for original concepts.

The acting is terrible, gurning rules here, all Jim Carrey facial distortions, the directing is all over the shop and the script seems to be from about half a dozen different ones.

It only ran for nearly 90 minutes but it seemed so much longer....
