If you thought Killer Tomatoes were a bad idea...

Worst movie of all-time. You see bad movies, and it's almost as if you get the feeling they try to make it bad. This movie is so bad that you know full well no one did it intentionally. It is horrible in every aspect. I usually don't care about graphics and special effects, but this Killer Pinata looks like its straight out of a video game running around in reality. I've seen Killer Pinatas, and that is not what they look like! The acting is equally atrocious, and if there was a plot, it sucked, too. The characters are so shallow and useless, you'll be rooting for their deaths, but the movie is so predictable, you know who will die and when they will die. The movie peaks at its utter stupidity when one of the characters tells them to not wait up for him while he tries to get pebbles out of his shoes because they are bothering him!!! There's a killer piñata running around and he's worried about pebbles in his shoes. Not only that, he tells them don't wait up, and it takes him a good ten minutes to get those damn pebbles out. Do yourself a favor and run from this movie like it was an unrealistic, cartoonish killer piñata.
