The Worst Movie I have ever seen

I cannot say this with enough conviction. "Blood Diner" was so horrendous in every single way, the fact that it was ever made and people can still view this film is egregious. I understand that the movie is made to be bad intentionally, yet it does not even succeed in this manner. Between the outrageous nature of the violence, the copious amounts of nudity, the random and offensive number of Swastikas, the horrendous dialogue and, last on my list but certainly not least, the acting that cannot be viewed in anything resembling a positive light. I would rather watch a video of a colonoscopy than watch this movie ever again.

I hate myself for watching this movie. I would spend the next few years tracking down every single individual who was associated in any way with the production of this movie in order to demand compensation from each and every one of them, but that would require wasting more time as a result of this movie, the past 80 minutes of my life are far too much already.

Damn it.

You sir, are an idiot.

[–] BlackJack296 16 years ago

If you disagree with me, sir, then I have no reason to feel slighted by your opinion because, as far as I am concerned, if you thought this movie was anything other than excrement, you should not be entitled to one. The movie was awful. Plain and simple.

If hate it so much, why in the hell did you waste the time making that post?
What makes you think your opinion needed to be heard by people who like the movie? Ever stopped and thought that maybe people who like something you dont could really care less what you think of it?

BlackJack, I'm sorry, but you're insane. Nude cheerleader aerobics! A vegetarian restaurant run by descendants of a cannibalistic psycho! A b-list wrestler named Little Jimmy Hitler! Watch it again- revel in the bad acting, the wardrobe, the scene where the biker is run over multiple times. If you still feel the same way, go get that colonoscopy, because...

Read his profile and check the other boards he has posted on this, he seems to go for "Oscar" type films, no wonder he hated it.

Trust me, I am a fan of certain movies of this "genre", if you want to call it that. 'Slaughter High' from the 1980's is one of my favorite comedies (regardless of how unintentional the comedy in the film may be) of all time. That was supposed to be a horror film, but I did revel in the aspects of the film such as the bad acting and the corny effects. These served as redeeming qualities for what the movie lacked (adequate acting, semblance of a plot, etc.).

Is it wrong that that I did not roll around on the floor laughing and then posted online about how hilarious it was to see a character sporting a Hitler mustache and a Swastika? Rather, I was offended by the fact that it was one of several times in the film that Swastikas were displayed in absolutely no context whatsoever, other than (I can only assume) to provide some sort of shock value that was supposed to enhance the outrageous nature of the movie. Wow, that really worked.

I watch 'bad' movies all the time. For the most part, I appreciate them for what they are and I enjoy them. I go on to see more *beep* movies. That being said, I cannot honestly see how 'Blood Diner' could be considered entertainment in any way. The fact that it exists makes me upset. Nothing was done well. Even the unintentionally 'funny' parts were not entertaining (trust me, I was able to recognize which parts were supposed to be unintentionally funny and I did not laugh).

So say what you want. The way I see it, if what I write prevents even one person who is considering this movie from seeing this movie, I will have done a good thing.

I'm generally a strong advocate for bad 80's horror, but I can't help but agree with BlackJack on this one. Perhaps the only redeeming quality presented by Blood Diner rests in the fact that it lives on to show aspiring filmmakers what never to do in a movie. Battered heads so easily decapitated with a broomstick, jujitsu performed by a woman with enough pubic hair to make an Amish woman jealous...I could continue, but frankly I do not enjoy having the urge to vomit. And that is exactly what this movie does.

This "film" (and I use that term very loosely)did nothing less than make me question the legitimacy of all horror films and lose a bit of faith in humanity itself. So with that in mind, shame on Fearnet for allowing this movie to continue being aired, and shame on those of you who support it as a movie. As noted prior, I love bad horror, but this movie was so tragically horrendous that even Stevie Wonder would have to turn his eyes away from the screen.

"So say what you want. The way I see it, if what I write prevents even one person who is considering this movie from seeing this movie, I will have done a good thing."

Actually you would be doing them a disservice. Blood Diner is a bad movie, but in no way is it unwatchable and it is highly entertaining in it's own rite. Yes the acting sucks, the jokes are lame and the direction is hackneyed at best. On the flip side its very fast paced, creative in a lot of ways and funny to boot. If you dont like it it's fine, but still its not an awful movie. I would give it another watch if I were you and try not to focus on the negative aspects so much. You may get more out of it than you thought. Also the Hitler wrestler was intended to be a bad guy to the extreme, so no I did not find that offensive or more offensive then hacking up women to serve them for food...

Different Strokes for Different Folks, I guess, but I do feel sorry you if you were not amused by the insanity that was Blood Diner. It made you disavow your own humanity? You wanted to track down every individual involved in making the movie and demand money from them?

Yes, I understand the literary concept of hyperbole. You didn't REALLY mean that you were going to track down the director and the writers and try to shake them down for cash. You were just using that as a literary device to describe how much you did not enjoy this movie. I get that.

Still, I feel kind of crushed that you had to take this film so seriously. It's a complete goof. Yes, it was trying to be outrageous. Yes, there was no reason to throw swastikas into the movie other than to get a shock value out of the audience. Of course they were trying to get a shock out of the audience! It's a movie about cannibals who run a diner! How much larger of a clue did you need to realize what type of movie this is? Did the title "Blood Diner" not give away the game completely ahead of time? Why did you bother seeing this film then?

Yes, a complete waste of time, and I am sure that the filmmakers would be the first to admit it. Just a stupid movie that revels in its own stupidity. And sometimes, there is nothing wrong with that.

[–] BlackJack296 16 years ago

As I have said before, I understand the concept of such films (it is really not hard to understand). Again, I am generally a fan of such films (i.e. Slaughter High, 2001 Maniacs, and Slither). These films, however, have more to them than the ridiculous, over-done aspects. For example, '2001 Maniacs' had the special effects to curb the overall inanity of the acting, plot etc. No such redeeming quality was apparent throughout the film 'Blood Diner'.

To address my new friend "livingdead70", I am quite aware of the fact that I enjoy award winning films that are popular. There is a reason such films are popular, usually because they are actually quite good and the appropriate consensus is reached. A different example could be 'Blood Diner'. About half of the 1,090 persons who rated the film on this site (the fact that over one thousand people have seen this film in the first place gives me a headache, the fact that it is probably many more positively astounds me) gave the film a less than 5 out of 10 rating, which should be indicative of the fact that it is a god awful piece of garbage that should only exist so individuals can use the tape from the VHS to dispose of themselves in a tragically untimely fashion due to the fact that they will likely never be able to erase the film from their individual memories.

To address the 'Academy Awards' claim, I had not watched the awards in years before the most recent show. I am generally against the superficiality of the Awards. However, when an actor gives a superior performance, I enjoy the fact that they are recognized with awards and the general public is made aware of the actor/actress' great work. That being said, I am boycotting the Awards again after Mickey Rourke was snubbed this year, but that argument is for another board.

I am right. I can feel it in the deepest recesses of my brain and soul. The perception which individuals should hold in regards to this movie is not a matter of opinion. It is, instead, a matter of cognizant recognition of factuality. If you disagree with me, you probably do not want to hear me say anything further on the topic. So, do not post in reply. If you do, I will be forced to continue my spiritual war and attack on this film in hopes of it never being seen again by human eyes.

[–] livingdead70 16 years ago

Who in the hell cares if a film wins an award anyways.
I guess maybe I missunderstood you at first BlackJack, I thought you were one of those film snobs. No harm meant.
One last thing tho, the Swastikas were part of that actual bands get it up, it was ELvis Hitler. I dont know much about them other than they were a Hollywood band in the 80s......... some sort of punk/shock rock gimmick thing .
I still dont understand, ah hell to each his own I guess, I have seen far worse stuff than blood diner, and certianly more offensive things than ELvis Hitler.

[–] BlackJack296 16 years ago

In that case, my film counterpart, I would legitimately be interested in your recommendations, just to gain an understanding of what you consider 'worse' to be. Please, indulge me, sir.

[–] livingdead70 16 years ago

Worse movies? ahh jeez,,,,,,,
Well one comes to mind and thats Moulon ROuge.......but thats a whole nother ball game.
Check out Ankle Biters, it blows Blood Diner out of the water. Ive seen so many movies like this man its hard to think....... My girlfreind really has a unique talent of scouting them out and she isnt into them like me, I think shes a keeper!!
One movie that actually kinda rubbed me the wrong way was August Mortem ( i may have the title spelling wrong). Word of warning tho, it isnt for the faint of heart.
You know black I am sorry I was an ass at first I thought you were one of those pretentious film snobs and I so enjoy ruffling those guys feathers.
Shoot now that I am thinking pretty much 99% of mainstream horror from about the past 20 years is pretty bad in my book........ the teenagers and theres a mystery type of crap,,,,,,, or the shadowy monster and people in a cave/underwater/spaceship/old house/ the moon whatever they can think of crap and the hot chick always survives.........
I guess really, how old are you ? I am 39 and back when I was a teen in the mid to late 80s CInemax would run horror at nite like they do porn now, and boy I saw alot of cool stuff........ really thats what got me into all this.....
Ill think of some more and post them later tonight, I gotta run right now man,,,,, hey what do you recomend? And keep in mind Im not all horror , one of my fave films of all time is Harry and Tonto.............

Your vehemence and vitriol are the very things that are going to make people actually seek this movie out. You know that right? So strong an opinion, coupled with laundry lists of all the despicable elements from the movie, are going to rev the engines of people with these kind of specific tendencies. In all honesty, had I not already seen this and just come to these boards to check it out, your onslaughts would have convinced me it was worth watching. Nobody's going to read what you're saying and decide it's not worth it and give it a pass. You've written the most enthusiastic sales pitch for this movie I've seen yet.

And I know it's your opinion, you seem like a smart guy and you're entitled to it, but there are so many worse movies out there with far shabbier acting, poorer production values, crappier effects, are quite boring and then take themselves completely seriously to boot. I find it hard to believe it's the worst movie you've ever seen, and if it is I'm envious because you haven't suffered anywhere near enough. Blood Diner being bad is not a self-evident truth, but your accidentally endorsing of the movie by claiming it is is pretty awesome.

[–] schramm2003 16 years ago

Yeah Blood Diner is no way the worst movie ever. A ridiculous claim.

Without a seconds thought Ozone: Attack Of The Redneck Mutants and The Abomination jump out at me.

[–] BlackJack296 16 years ago

Who could have possibly thought that a movie entitled "The Abomination" could be bad? I actually took time to see this movie and, honestly, I might have to go back and watch "Blood Diner" again. I am in no way reversing my opinion, but I am indeed thinking that a solid comparison between the two is called for.

To address the previous poster: oh God! What have I done? People, if I have inadvertantly promoted this movie in any way, I apologize and ask you reconsider what I have written with that in mind.

Yeah its a true classic, a definate one of a kind film.
It has been a long time since trash of this caliber has been offered up,and sadly I think it may be even longer before something this over the top gets thrown our way again...........

And by making this post you wasted more time as a result of this movie. You say yourself those 80 wasted minutes were too many already, and yet you wrote that. Are you satisfied?
