    This movie wasn't the worst movie ever
    Anyone who thinks this is the worst movie ever, didn't see a bad horror movie in their life time. Believe me, there much worse movies out there than Uncle Sam. No, I think that this film is horrible too. But there's way more bad movies than this out there

    Troll 2 is the worst horror movie ever, not Uncle Sam. This film is Gone With The Wind compared with that crap. At least this one is funny than that trash.

    If you people want the worst movie ever made, Go rent the movie "Troll 2".

    *1/2 (Troll 2 get no stars)
