I spend most of my free time watching movies. I'm not interested in your mainstream Hollywood blockbusters. Sure, i'll watch them, but i'll get more enjoyment out of a film starring Sam Jones than I would with a film starring Tom Cruise (and before you start going nuts, I like Tom Cruise).
So I guess when I tell you that Scalps is the worst film I have ever seen you wont really care. I actually really like films of this ilk and the Friday the 13th films are particular favourites. But this is something totally different.
I think its important for you to know how bad this film is.
Its not the plot. Its not the acting. Its not the writing. Its the actual way the film was photographed. It is almost impossible to tell what is going on at any scene shot at night. You cannot make anything out. Its utterly unbeleiveable. I can only assume that this film had no director of photography/cinematographer.
I don't think it would be possible to make a film any worse, unless you maybe didn't have a director. But then look at how Superman 2 came out!
