Embarrassing Rip-Off,

There ought to be a rating for disasters such as this to keep people from watching, period. The director and all persons involved in this need to be horse whipped for creating this "gem". Just another paycheck for all the male and female prostitues employed. Avoid like a cyst with molars.

Not exactly what I expected. I had visions of a CG "Heavy Metal", but it's more like a continuous "Rock Video" (Instrumental). Trippy, and psychodelic, but probably more enjoyable when your mind is in an altered state. No story line, no plot...This is, without a doubt, the worst movie in the history of movies. Seriously. It's not funny, scary, or remotely entertaining. How on earth did it make it to the MPAA?
