WINNER: Death Bed: The Bed That Eats

[annathepiper]

I gotta say, eveshka, you chose wisely.

solarbird brought this home for me today since whoever had had it last returned it to Scarecrow. She and I just got done watching it. And this pithy quote of Dara's sums up the entire experience: "It makes Manos seem vibrant and coherent."

It really does. I am in awe of the fact that there exists a film that can make Manos: The Hands of Fate look good. I weep to think of the horror this would have inflicted on poor Joel and the Bots, even as I find myself wondering if the Cinematic Titanic people are aware of this thing. 'Cause DAMN.

Other bonus features of this thing:

• Its very own intro from the writer/director.
  
• AIGH CREEPY DEMON EYES on the DVD menu.
  
• Dividing of the film into three acts helpfully labeled Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
  
• The bed oozing yellow foam as it ate things. And people! It's an Evil Bed AND an Evil Yellow Bubble Bath!
  
• Movie: "Something's wrong! I must have made a mistake!" Me: "Yeah pal, you and everyone else involved with this movie."
  
• Movie: "I wonder where this house is supposed to be". Dara: "I wonder where this plot is supposed to be!"
  
• Stabbing of Evil Bed = Eating of hapless stabber guy's hands down to the bone. I'm still not sure if he survived the movie. I'm only half sure I survived the movie.

So yeah. This thing wins the March 2009 Suckoff, hands down. Well played, eveshka. Well played.

Gives a whole new meaning to Finger Lickin' Good!

Now I really wish I had a copy of the short horror spoof film I helped make. You'd appreciate it.

[annathepiper]

Oh wow, I would! And that had to be fun. :)

A movie worse than Manos?? I almost have to see that for myself....


On second thought.. I'll take your word for it... *shudder*

[annathepiper]

*looks staunch* It's okay, I took one for the team! ;)

Peculiar. Its IMDB score is five stars. I think there are DVDs in my collection with lower scores than that. Manos has only 1.5.

I'm sure there may be people out there who think this movie holds together better than Manos. They would be wrong. ;)

That sounds like a winner. I am filled with the fear and yet...any film that makes Manos look good by comparison needs to be viewed by me.

Wow.

Judicious application of your b00zah0l of choice may be called for here! Good luck. You'll need it. ;)
