Attack of the SFX!
I recently was reminded of a horrible movie I watched a couple years ago, this film is called “Attack of the Sabertooth”. It’s reputation online, worst special effects ever. I really cannot find anything to compare to this movie. B grade film? How about Z grade movie? If they would ever go that low on the ranking scale. It’s awful. We, my husband and I, were lured into watching it because the cover looked really cool. *whispers* It’s a lie….
This movie was like a lamewad rip off of Jurrasic Park, stupid scientist guy wants to build a park for sabers so people can pay him yadda yadda. Well the sabers go mad and start to eat people. *gasp* Didn’t see that one coming! This movie is SO bad it’s funny, it’s so bad that I actually enjoyed watching it just to see how bad it could get. The “special effects” are so absolutely terrible that it made the movie enjoyable to a certain extent. Not to mention the bad acting. The deaths were so fake, one guy starts screaming and it almost sounds like he’s trying not to laugh. They never really explain things in the movie once the cats start killing either, and the end… well it just ends. It’s one of those “…wait that’s it?” moments.
I found some of the great highlight clips of this movie on youtube.
Just run through some of those clips, the best one being near the end when this giant golden statue that looks like it was conceived in Windows Paint, thrown into picture it to make it look shiny, then motioned tweened in flash. You can see the actor trying to hold still to wait for the giant tooth to come crashing down on him. Most shots you can see the actors just stand there like durrrr there’s a special effect coming, mustn’t move or we might make it hard on the sfx crew.
I would say if you’re looking for a horrible movie to shoot rubberbands at the tv screen on, check this one out. It’s just so horrible, I have to share it with the world. This movie ranks a 9.5 on my epically bad movie-o-meter. Yes believe it or not there are still ones out there worse than this…which I might post about later.
