Subterano (2003)
Mildly amusing piece of trash.
I happened upon this movie as a filler on New Year's Eve before the fireworks. Sitting around with my family, we watched in amazement as the ridiculous events unfolded. While the plot does seem sort of interesting at first, it is carried out so poorly that all you can do is laugh.
The dialogue is worse than soap opera standard. It seems at some points the actors decided they would ad-lib, with terrible results. At least I hope they were ad-libbing. The last words of one of the characters as she is shot in the groin by a poorly animated laser is not to be missed.
The entire budget was obviously blown on the special effects, which isn't saying much. The most expensive would have been "emboman," the climactic villain of Subterano, a monster who resembles a creature from the old Power Rangers series.
Maybe if I was still 4 years old I would like this movie, (which was based on the true story of a woman who was chased through an underground car park in Surfers Paradise.) But I'm not 4, and neither is this movie. It's 3 / 10, just for novelty value.
