    Rem Lezar teaches many life lessons....

    I don't know why this film didn't get more publicity...I would like to see Netflix or Amazon Prime offer it...Finding the music CD is almost impossible but Apple Music does offer some of the hits from the film. I have watched this film several times and each time I walk away with new enlightened wisdom.... The adversity we face in life is there as Vorock the villain...The quest we go on in life and so much more.... I would like to see a part 2 made with a wide theatrical release with possible rock versions of the many hits.... Especially Zak's "dreaming of a dream" song... I would personally play this film at work functions to promote the lessons of team building and goal setting...

    5.9, how the heck is the rating for this so high!

    There are horror films I have seen that I have enjoyed that have lower scores than this. As are there action films, so many other films that are lower than this. How does kids singing so horribly that it will make your ears bleed, a creepy dude in a mock superhero outfit and a villain with an incomprehensible arc get such a high rating? Perhaps those who saw it were super high?

    The story, two kids (a boy and girl) get in trouble because they both fantasize about Rem Lezar who sports a purple mullet and a creepy knack for appearing to the children in their bedrooms. Soon the boy and girl find there shared experience and make their own Rem with mannequin parts and he becomes real, or does he? Soon they must find his chest plate or he will disappear while singing constantly! Fun times... I mean, the Apple has a lower score than this and it is a masterpiece musical compared to this. We also have the villain who is about as threatening as an old time screen saver from the 90's....

    The acting is obviously amateurish as the kids cannot sing or act, Rem's voice does not peel paint like their voices do when he sings and the villain is like a living migraine. Not sure what people saw to give this thing such a high score, even as a kid this thing would have had my eyes rolling.

    So, you like your superhero's with mullets and whose only power is to constantly break out into song about stuff they are not even seeing (caves)? Well you will just love this! Want to hear two kids sing so horribly and off key that you will wish you could not hear anything? I am not sure why you would, but you are going to love this! Go on now, go create your own creepy child stalker to haunt your kids, create Rem Lezar...

    rem lezar did 9/11

    When i was a child, i was touched by rem lezar, and not just my heart, if you catch my drift
    5cjkbuchanan

    This was a thing i watched.

    This movie would be the perfect tool to use during interrogations at gitmo. I would honestly rather 9/11 happen every 4 years like the Olympics then ever watch this film again. Rem Lezar will haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life and perhaps after because that is the power of Rem Lazar.

    fantasy, my little ones!

    I was never sure what to say when people asked me what my favorite movie was, I mean there were lots of films I liked, but I always felt incomplete , different from the others because i had missed out on some major cinematic experience or something , that is until I popped in the tape and was introduced to my new best friend, and hero, Rem.

    The movie has it all, action, adventure, mullets, singing, dancing, a scary floating head, a creepy shack in the woods, unfit parents, sexual tension, and even a black guy.

    I am proud that this movie is not only a part of my collection, but rarely leaves the VCR itself. Its a great movie to watch on your own or with your friends, but if you watch it a lot on your own you may not have that many friends anyways. Thank you Phil W, for bringing such a wonderful gift into my life no i never had a friend like you!
