Who saw it? And didn't claw their eyes out?

I mean I like Morena Baccarin in just about anything but OMG.

OMG this was awful. I saw that movie awhile ago on SciFi. All the good parts are in the commercials.

Yeah, it was bad. Of course about 90% of the Saturday night movies on the Scifi channel fit into this category.

Saw it.

It was terrible.

Indeed.

Unless it is a series pilot, made for TV movies on the Sci-Fi channel have a starting quality of "Ed Woods Jr. would make fun of this on MST3K". A small minority crawl up to "At least the plot holes didn't cause SAN loss this time". About a handful are on the "I can count on the fingers of one hand the number that are merely weak, unfortunately I still can't remember their names".

I'm having flashbacks to "Ice Spiders" and "Haunted Boat."

"Eye of the Beast" was actually decent, though, despite having that Dawson's Creek guy in it.

Ice Spiders was the pinnacle of crapitude.

Skeleton Man has got to be one of the worst ones on SciFi. Most of the Bruce Campbell movies were down right bad as well.

Dang. I didn't even know we had a TV forum. *Got to pay attention*

At least the SciFi original movies provide a bit of work for displaced series actors; Farscape, etc. Too bad some of that acting comes off like the guys on Night at the Improv trying to react to the unknown green screen in the background, only using audience reaction.

Not going to bother spoiling here -

I found this last one especially comical. The doc's soon-to-be ex-husband turned possessed gets killed and she's crying that she still loved him a bit. 15 minutes later the BBEG is dead and she's sucking face with the new guy. Then there's the decapitation by heavy equipment. Gotta love the lone student working diligently and ignoring the group discussion.

Bruce Campbell movies are meant to be bad though.

Our gaming group has an annual Bad Movie Night, where we get drunk and laugh our a$$es off. Wonder what will be on the docket this year? One month to go!
