I'm not sure which I'm more astounded by, the abject awfulness of this movie or the glowing reviews to the contrary. Like other negative reviews I have read, I'll agree there's just nothing good about this movie. Except maybe the young girl who played Emma. Hers was the only halfway believable portrayal in the movie. There may have been a glimmer of what could have been a compelling storyline, but it completely missed the mark.
It was like watching bad fan fiction written by emo teenagers come to life in celluloid. Ink should be mandatory viewing for beginning film students on how NOT to make a movie. It's just that astonishingly bad. Sucktacular. Craptastic. Truly awful.
The only thing that could have possibly redeemed this movie for me would have been if Tim Curry came out in the final scene dressed in drag and lead the cast in a rousing rendition of "The Time Warp", thereby letting the audience know that the movie was supposed to be ridiculously pretentious and cheesy.
On second thought, not even Dr. Frank-n-Furter could have saved this movie.
That said, I will probably watch this movie again. Because it's sort of like eating a McRib sandwich when you know better from past experience. You simply need to convince yourself that it really was as bad as you remembered the first time.
