Hooking Up (2009)
The Worst Movie I Have Ever Seen
This website lists Bipolar Films, Entropy Entertainment, and Morbid Minds Productions as the production companies of this film. I absolutely cannot believe three companies were all willing to spend money on this movie. Granted, after watching the film I can't assume it was that much money. Does your town have a local business that makes terrible commercials starring the owner trying to demonstrate a humorous situation explaining why his prices are so low? You know what I mean, local car dealerships are notorious for 'em. Everyone of those commercials is a cinematic masterpiece compared to "Hooking Up." Every single video on youtube is better than "Hooking Up." If you forgot to turn off your camcorder before putting it back in it's case, inadvertently filming darkness until the battery ran out, you would have made a movie better than "Hooking Up."
Deadgirl (2008)
A Very Relatable Film (Assuming You're a Sexual Predator)
"Dead Girl" begins thusly: Ricky and J.T., two teens from the wrong side of the tracks are killing time outside, and decide to have a few beers. It's a hot day, and apparently they live in a town without trees, because J.T. suggests they retire to the town's old, dilapidated mental asylum to for shade -- a strong case for carrying of the parasol if I've ever heard one! Once inside, they come across a door barricaded shut, force it open, and find a young woman gagged, and bound to a table. Naturally, they decide to use her as a rape-slave, but all is not as simple as it seems...
I'll stop here. If this sounds like a movie you might want to watch, I don't want to spoil anything for you. If you're one of those preachy, repressed puritans that thinks "So the protagonists of this film are rapists? Not even some sort of deranged, Law and Order: S.V.U.-type rapists driven by some pathological compulsion (that could maybe at least be interesting), but just regular guys who find someone tied up, and think, 'What should I do? I KNOW - RAPE! This is my lucky day?' Casual rapists? Are there even casual rapists? I don't think if I'll be able to sympathize with the characters in this movie." Well then you're probably right. I felt the same way, and when paranormal forces started to make things dicey for the fellas, I couldn't be bothered to be interested whether they survived or not. They had it coming.
I did give it a three stars, because it's not shot on videotape and the sound matches the picture.
