'Uninvited' was the first of a triple feature this evening with the Bad Movie Club. For our first Bad Movie Club bad movie night, I decided to make it cat themed (mostly) and start the evening with Greydon Clark's horrendous tale about a cat that somehow has a demonic-looking smaller cat living inside of it that comes out and kills whoever it feels like (usually people who have wronged it or wronged someone who was nice to it). Meanwhile, some criminals with the potential to make loads of cash invite some young girls they've never met before to party on their boat, ostensibly to have a good time, but honestly just to give the authorities the impression that they're just fun-loving guys and girls having a party on a boat while they sail off to wherever it was they were planning on going. Those authorities aren't in the movie, so that is an unnecessary detail (like everything else in the movie). Anyway, the girls invite some other guys they have also never met before and one of those guys brings along the weird cat he just found and they all get on a boat heading nowhere in particular with strangers and an evil little cat creature. It was absolutely awful in such a good way. There were scenes that were clearly shot in someone's bathtub with black plastic trash bags lining the walls and a toy boat thrashing about in the water. Watching it with the Bad Movie Club was the only way to make a movie this terrible worth watching, and it was loads of fun. So I suggest getting a group of your friends together and forcing this film on them. If they still like you after it's over, you've got good friends.
2. The Carrier
The second film of the Bad Movie Club's inaugural bad movie night was the AID's scare analogy, 'The Carrier'. In it, a small town turns against each other after a furry bear-like creature scratched a man, infecting him with some sort of deadly virus that didn't effect him, but caused everything he touched to become infected as well. Anytime anyone touched anything that had been infected by the carrier, the thing melted the person's body parts and eventually the whole person. The town broke into two warring factions, half of them wearing white or light colored fabric over their heads and arms and the other half wearing all black. Someone discovered that cats were able to sniff out the infected objects, so cats became the most precious commodity of which both sides were willing to kill for. I didn't think 'The Carrier' was actually that bad of a movie (but bad enough, I suppose). Mostly it was just incredibly strange, and I liked it.
Oh yeah, and they had the creepiest Jesus statue ever.
3. The Intruder
The last film of the evening was the Indonesian film 'The Intruder', which was a blatant rip-off of the Rambo franchise. I'm not really sure what happened in this movie. People came and went with hardly any character development and I'm pretty sure some people who died came back later as different people. Most important though, is that the hero's name was John Rambu. Every time someone said the word Rambu we couldn't stop laughing. There was the part where Rambu's girlfriend gave him a red headband before he dove into the ocean, emerging to find his girlfriend killed by the bad guys who wanted Rambu dead and could have easily dispatched him then but chose to kill the girl instead for no good reason. Then there was a scene where Rambu organized a bunch of people in Mr. Bean cars to drive around shooting at other people. There was also a scene where a couple bad guys beat Rambu to a pulp and left him lying on the ground clearly defeated as they ran away exclaiming they were going to kill him. Oh, and he had a little ball that he threw at people and every time it bounced right back to him. Some trick! There were so many incomprehensibly stupid scenes that I really don't know what was going on. Rambu just showed up and killed a bunch of people who were supposedly criminals and I guess he saved the day from something. This film was spectacularly bad and deservedly fits in anyone's bad movie night.
