    Watch Literally Anything Else!

    The nurse costumes, and the way the girls acted looked like they were ready to make a porno. It was impossible to take the characters seriously, and the acting was awful.

    I really enjoy many bad films because I find them entertaining. This wasn't, it didn't take me long to regret watching it, and understand why the rating was so low. It wasn't entertaining at all, and was so annoying I couldn't actually finish it. Parts of the film I wondered what was actually meant to be going on.

    Save yourself the pain and watch literally anything else.

    The Gay Smiley

    A group of college students regret their decision to sneak into the cellar of a haunted asylum on Halloween.

    One by one they encounter Smiley, the last of a flawed bloodline.

    This movie is very cheaply made and poorly directed and acted. The story is stoopid beyond belief. Believe it or not it begins with a couple nurse dressed the way Frederick's of Hollywood would dress a nurse! No joke.

    Some of the sets consist of sheets tacked to a wall and the Smiley the bad guy is gay and a half, rendering him laffable.

    It's just dismal.

    1.2 million dollars? On what?!

    I mean seriously, how the hell can this have cost $1.2 million? Surely they didn't pay any of the actors, because I'm fairly certain none of them had other work and would have paid for any film role.

    It doesn't look like they actually used any film. The costumes must have come from a charity shop (or did the actors bring their own?). I'm fairly certain the sets where essentially wherever they decided to get the camera out. Fake blood doesn't cost that much.

    Seriously, there is only one reason this film can have been made, and that is to try and make a clean sweep of the Raspberrys.

    It is terrible, terrible, terrible, on so many levels.

    OK, so I've given you the build up.

    Now go and watch it. It is so bad, it is side-splittingly hilarious.

    A porn with the sex scenes cut out

    That's seriously the agreement my boyfriend and I came to after watching this movie. The characters were terrible, the story was even worse. It was definitely shot in their houses, not only because they are clearly decorated like homes but also because if you look at the "asylum" you can see that someone forgot to move Mr. Fluffy's cat tower from right next to the freaking front door. I'm sure this was a college film but couldn't they put some effort into it? I mean, I'm sure they could have at least worn better clothes since most of them are pretending to be "rich kids" but apparently they decided to beg their local Goodwill store for things they wouldn't be able to sell. I watched it and felt bad for the failing grades they probably received.

    Horror With a $5 Budget

    A group of college students regret their decision to sneak into the cellar of a haunted asylum on Halloween. One by one they encounter Smiley (Jed Rowen), the last of a flawed bloodline.

    This movie is pretty terrible, but the reason boils down to one key factor: they had no money, and used a very cheap camera. They probably should not have made a movie and it definitely should not be on Netflix, but it is and I watched it.

    In all fairness, the acting is not too bad, at least from the students (I found the inmates far too cheesy). And the plot is nothing amazing, but really no worse than half of the horror films that get made. I will give these guys a little credit. Maybe invest in a better camera, learn a few new angles to shoot from, and you might have a passable movie. Maybe.
