GL84 Trying to impress a woman, a man's attempts to infiltrate a supposedly-abandoned amusement park as part of a club initiation causes them to encounter a series of demonic creatures living in the park and forces them to work together in order to get out alive.This here was quite a bland and overall disappointing fantasy/horror effort. Among the big flaws here is the fact that there's just little-to-no actual horror within this one, as the film tends to run through quite a pronounced and extended period of time with nothing happening. There's such a drawn0oiyut bit of him getting initiated with the club and their activities that it really gets off on a bad foot with a truly lame start and it's worse off as it goes along as the scenes of them wandering around the different set-pieces in the carnival aren't all that good. It just simply consists of them wandering around the different parts of the carnival meeting with the creatures and doesn't really seem to offer up any actual rhyme or reason why they're meeting up with them or even offering up anything as to why the creatures are there to begin with. This creates such a distorted and jangly storyline here because it simply consists of things happening that feel completely designed to top one another in the weirdness stakes rather than engaging in any kind of useful or coherent storyline, making for a truly bland premise that doesn't feel like it's mined to it's maximum potential. Likewise, there's little about the creatures here or even why they're created with obvious puppets that don't look or move anything like real, normal creatures would do as they're clearly pulled about on set by wires that are seen numerous times over and are seemingly put there only for the famous voice actors to voice the creatures in order to get them onto the film's box-art. Even more infuriating is the fact that there's just such cringe-inducing comedic attempts throughout here that don't really offer up any kind of true laughs here and really just don't give the film much of any kind of impact here as the lame-ness of the jokes and suspected gags featured here which are clearly intended to be funny yet clearly fails which knocks the film down even more. The last big flaw to this one here is the needless inclusion of the spider-battle sequence, which is lame, completely unfunny and seems so illogical about why she'd join in so easily that it really loses its impact. While all of these bring the film down, it's the first issue here that really hurts it the most and makes the film's few positives seem so few and far between. Since the entire film consists of them running around the carnival after-dark, there's a sense of claustrophobia that's effectively captured here with the darkness and shadows that are put into perfect use at times here and making this one really chilling at times, with the stage for some rather fun chases coming here. The only other worthwhile element here is the utterly demented atmosphere that's conjured up here meeting up with all these different demonic creatures in such relentlessly- paced encounters that it does have a somewhat fun pace. Otherwise, there's little about this one that works.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

nebk This movie tries to recreate a nostalgic 80s horror look about a trio of teenagers battling monsters in an abandoned amusement park. As a result the movie looks as if it was made in the 1980s using bad animatronic effects. The result is truly awful. Not because the movie looks bad (although it does), but because it has a terrible story and even worse acting by all involved. The protagonists are unknowns who just can't act, although given the material it is not surprising that it is difficult for them. Although it has Tim Curry, Lance Henriksen and Sean Young amongst others doing the voices of the monsters, this adds nothing to the film as their involvement is minimal and the dialogue itself is badly written. The voice actors probably agreed to do this knowing that at least their faces won't be on screen. The story itself is clichéd beyond all belief. There is the nerd who is in love with a hot girl who is dating a bad tempered jock. All of them stereotypes. The jock forces the nerd to go into an abandoned and supposedly haunted amusement park. The jock's friends who sound Hungarian cheer this dumbness on. The girl pitying the nerd goes in after him, and then the jock does the same. Then they are pursued by weird monsters such as Gingerclown, Wormface etc. The jock gets what he deserves and the other two survive. And that's pretty much it. There is plenty of profanity, and the characters make decisions which make no sense. There is nothing positive to say about this movie. It's badly written, badly acted with bad dialogue and implausible events. Best avoided at all costs.

MartinHafer "Gingerclown" is a film with absolutely no redeeming values whatsoever. It is a terrible film with little, if anything, positive I can say about the production. It lacks originality, is full of terrible acting, has horrible dialog, features incredibly dated special effects and made me wonder who would want to see or make such an awful movie. Is it bad enough that it might one day make one of my Worst Film lists? Read on to find out for yourself.The film starts off behind the iconic Hollywood sign in the hills of California. So why, then, do some of the kids in this film sport Hungarian accents while others do not? Well, it's because the movie was actually shot in Hungary--and mostly in an amusement park after hours. Yes...and amusement park. I assume that aside from the abandoned roller disco and summer camp in the woods, this is the most likely setting for a slasher film--one that has been used so many times that it's become a cliché. The gist of the film is this: a nasty jock (again, how original) dares a nerd and a sexy girl to go to the abandoned amusement park after dark. There, all sorts of hellish (and annoying) creatures hunt them. That is THE plot.So why did I hate this film so much apart from it being not one bit original or fun? Well, the dialog is the biggie here. Rarely have I ever heard such crappy lines being uttered in a film. Sure, the movie was filled with tons of cursing and crude comments--but often this seemed to be a crutch. In other words, as the writer had nothing of value to say, they sprinkled the film with these nasty lines because that was apparently all they had. Here are a few edited examples of the thespian-like dialog in Gingerclown: '...are you a f****** retard or what?!''suck my b**** dude''what do you want wormface?'Needless to say, the film has nothing particularly intelligent to say-- even for a teen slasher film (and that is saying a lot!). Frankly, I'd be ashamed to write anything this wretched and can't see how any writer would take credit for this sort of bilge.In addition to the horrible dialog, the characters are truly caricatures. Everyone seems like they were created by a 12 year-old who is trying hard to include all the traditional stereotypes. This, combined with the dialog, brings us characters who are simply annoying and stupid. When you also add that many of the actors cannot act and annunciate the wrong syllables, it makes for a painful viewing experience. So is this film bad film list-worthy? I don't really know. Most of the films I've put on my previous bad films lists were terrible but unintentionally funny to watch because they were so bad. In the case of "Gingerclown", however, the movie is simply unfunny and a waste of time. The only real value I could see was showing it to young filmmakers and screenwriters to show them an example of what not to do.

Soma Mányoki OK I just created an IMDb account for the sole purpose of giving you a warning:First, some info about my personal taste in movies. I actually never write reviews, and that is for one reason: I wont be good at it, because I practically like every movie I watch, and I could only write positive reviews all the time, suggesting that you watch it with an open mind. And really, who would be so damn interested in that? No one.OK, so I've seen many bad movies. I actually love most of the movies that people call bad. I love low budget slash horrors, they entertain the hell out of me. I cried laughing at all 6 Leprechaun movies. Yes I did. There is something hilarious to me about movies that are explicitly sh*t. I cant help it. BUT. This movie is something else. I'm actually one of the few (an I mean VERY few) people in the world who has seen it at this point, as I was at the world premiere about 3 and a half hours ago. My friend and I were alone in the whole theater (world premiere!) It should have been a sign, but we're both hardcore movie fans, and can't be discouraged so easily. Then it started: 20 minute long scene - slow, boring, trite. 450 ways to make this an interesting lead-in, none taken. This is the point where I should mention, that the whole thing is supposed to be a "fake 80's movie" - in style (some kind of retro American thing, realized mainly through costumes and hairstyles), and in production, meaning it lacks all modern computer-generated effects. In short: the monsters are ridiculous looking plastic dolls moved by actors. Now as I said, this wont be a bad thing necessarily, and actually these monster scenes are the high points of the movie - not because they are good, but because apart from the rest of the movie, they are SOMETHING. Yes, and we have arrived to the main problem: the NOTHING that this movie is. The 4 or 5 scenes with the monsters are the small pieces of floating material in the pond of pure boredom. This is what happens in between: They walk. Wander around in completely random places. Sometimes they run. They talk about completely irrelevant and uninteresting things. They look scared. Thats about it. It was around the 2/3 mark that I realized it wont get any better. In the beginning I thought OK it opens slow but it should get better any minute. Later I thought OK this is definitely not a good movie but they spin it around with some crazy sh*t and it'll be OK in the end. Nothing happened. I'm getting tired here and there's so many other things that are just inexcusably sh*t about this movie - like the complete lack of logic (again, not necessarily a problem, if its backed up with other interesting elements), the barely above 0 acting performance (I am convinced that the movie was shot during a single night, without ANY of the scenes being shot twice to make them better), the nonexistent visual world.... or anything, really. But I think you're getting the idea already. There was one joke I laughed out loud at. That is why the only imaginable category in which this movie gets 1/10 instead of 0/10 is humor. And these all are why I felt it was my sworn duty to warn you not to go to this film. I can hardly think of worse things you could do with that time and money. I warned you! OK, footnote: Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Feel free to correct them, if you find any!
