Just found this movie and Curse of the Cannibal Confederates at a local collectibles shop. Almost got them because of you, Snob. Glad I didn't.

I imagine every person who took part in this was on some primo acid during the filming.

Can you review Cannibal Campout?
Reply to this
I agree, Manos is not the worst movie ever made. It is terrible, however I find a lot of unintentional comedic value in it. I own the MST3K version and the original and I laugh my ass off at both. I think Night of Horror would just give me the drunken shits because I'd have to drink so much booze to make it through the damn thing.
Reply to this
There is a movie called "Inchon" that is much, much worse than "Manos." It is basically what "Manos" would look like with a $50 million budget.

This day keeps getting better and better. I'm turning on CNN to see if there is a zombie outbreak.
A zombie outbreak is the only thing that could make this day more awesome.

Oh man. At the age of 16 I made a really shitty movie with some friends and it was far more entertaining than this crap.
At least we had 4 people dying in it!
Great review as usual.
Reply to this
Why is it that most shitty movies have shitty sound?! And why does the director/writer/whatever have to act in the movie? Oh god, narration! And let's not forget about the awful music. Plus this whole "horror" movie is just boring as shit! This movie is like a list of things that make up all shitty movies.
P.S. Isn't this the second movie you reviewed that has Tony Stark in it?
P.P.S. Little Fockers sucked.
Reply to this
Now I'm confused! I don't know if there is ever a movie that is worse than Manos. The only way I can find a movie worthy of "worst movie ever made" is if the entire movie is pitch dark the entire time and you can't see anything. Just put a lens cap over the camera and you're good to go!
Reply to this
That dude at 5:15 sounds a lot like Waddle - that Youtube video creator that spoofed your show, Brad. Ha!
Also, I've seen much worse movies than Manos. Of course I have - I grew up watching Mexican movies.
Reply to this
Not enthusiastic to say this, but this film is so boring, that it made even your review boring.
Reply to this
Yeah, I first heard of this movie around 2005 or so.... fucking horrid. Glad you finally reviewed this, I was going to request it myself... heh, gotta love that smudge!
Reply to this
Ever since first reading Night of Horror on the Agony Booth, I was dying to see someone do this movie in a video review. then you did Curse of the Cannibal Confederates, and I was excited, now, you've finally gotten around to it
Reply to this
next to garbage pale kids, this was the hardest to sit through review I've seen
Reply to this
@zterrans
Yeah, that was where I first heard of it as well. I literally could not believe such a horrid shit fest could exist!
I aree with Death Snob btw - Cannibal Campout is one of my favorites. Christopher Lewis' movies (Blood Cult, Revenge, RIpper) would be nice as well.

hi brad
ive send you a pm on youtube about a z-grade film i would like to provide you with.

Reply to this
Nice to see you back Brad, great snob review.
Reply to this
Good to see the Cinema Snob back. That being said, this was a god-awful film you just sat through. I mean, with terrible lighting, bad acting, and a misleading title, this film is crap. Even the previous film, Curse of the Cannibal Confederates wasn't as bad as this. This film was just boring...and more.
Reply to this
As bad as this movie was I guess it was really hard for you to come up with a review for this one.
What's there to say about a movie with nothing happening.
Reply to this
Nice as always, but through the last months the distance to the original Snob-Concept grew more and more.
Not that the reviews now are not fun, but the original premise of the snobby arthouse guy reviewing exploitation-material is so far gone. A good example is the "Gerry" joke here. Two years prior, that would be played straight like "Gerry perfected this technique which started with this sucky undead-o-rama-sleepfest", instead of poking fun at Gus van Sants filmbore.
Just saying, that the "Cinema Snob" series had a huge tonal shift in the last year (and a half). It would be nice to see a real "snob video" again instead of just poking fun with a very minor snob-attitude that's almost only there to poke more fun at the movie, instead of being a satirical tongue-in-cheek-arthouse-parodying-thing...
Reply to this
Like any show, The Cinema Snob evolves over time. He's still a pretentious, over-nitpicky critic, but the humor of the series for the past couple years gets it comedy from the movies themselves as well as the character; where as in the early days, it was based solely on the joke that the character was a Snob (a sole joke that would have gotten stale over time) and the movies barely got touched upon. I still throw in snobby jokes, for instance the "Gerry" joke, which you didn't like, but still had the Snob giving pretentious props to its scenery (something only he would do). Look at it this way, The Snob has been doing this for 4 years and is very bitter.
Reply to this
Heh, yeah, that's one way of lookin' at it, alright. And hey, I thought the "Gerry"-Gag was not very snoby, although I liked and laughed. Like I said, I'm still hooked for the series, but it would be nice to see something like the "Salo"-Review again.
...ok, with that in mind, the "Cannibal Holocaust"-Episode was not really that, but because of other reason pretty brilliant and outstandig.

Hey, snob! I made a parody of the Big Box on my youtube page. My channel name is Laughtraxx

Alfred Hitchcock remade one of his films. The Man Who Knew To Much. Most people prefer the remake, but I like the original more. Maybe it's Peter Lorre, I just do. Which one do you like if you like either? Lastly, you should post an episode explaining why Manos isn't the worst movie. I'd watch it.
Reply to this
I'd watch the Manos thing too. 100 reasons actually sounds short to me, there's probably about 200 or so.

IN THE ELETCRIC MIST!! FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!
No wait what!?Ohhh...Custers Revenge
Reply to this
The strange spot at the bottom of the screen seems a helluva lot like the beaver puppet from "Too smart for strangers".
As for the movie, I only have one question: WHY?
Reply to this
I think I know why the director remade his own movie. He saw how horrible the original turned out and wanted to make things a little better, which includes characters being killed and Confederate soldiers as zombies instead of ghosts!
Reply to this
Great review! I was laughing before I even started watching. “One of the worst things in the history of things” is eminently quotable.

Yes Brad/Snob: I feel your pain (again) -

Anyone else notice the lady who wrote the script's name is Rebecca Bach?

Oh god, that piano soundtrack made me want to hunt down John Tesh on general principle.
Reply to this
Sometimes, I yhink of manos as a bad movie. But other times I think of it as a great horror film
Reply to this
A truly depressing piece of cinema, only because it exists.
Reply to this
The piano mostly reminded me of Ben Folds. Even when there was a singer added, he sounded like Ben Folds.
Also, I would argue that the filler is necessary, otherwise this would just be 1/3 of an episode of Scooby Doo.
Reply to this
Excellent...
Reply to this
I remember reading a review of this on Agony Booth and wondering what actual clips would looks like. Not in my worst nightmare could I have imagined how bad this is.
Truly a milestone episode, as this is the movie that made you use the fast forward button.
Reply to this
Damn, when a director makes a shitty movie remaking an earlier project of his own, you KNOW it's going to be shitty.
The sound ain't the only shitty thing; look at the lighting.
As a joke, someone should list "Boom Mic" as an actor on IMDB & list every movie the Snob has reviewed as movie's it's has a role in.
ZOMBIE SAYS:
"We...will vote the eight unit. We join because....we believe. We were seasoned eunuchs, & our captain....eats lettuce in Camp A after camping. It's basil after basil. Fools all eat lettuce bravely. That last battle in the GOD DAMMIT!"
Night of Filler.
Reply to this
What the balls was that!?
I won't lie, I've gotten some of the films you reviewed. This one... I honestly have trouble finding the story. The padding is absolutely absurd. I know many of your reviews are satirical, but I can't imagine this one being so. This movie just looked devastatingly bad.
Reply to this
Never expected to hear Fortunate Son to Civil War reenactment. Gotta say, it kinda fits.
Reply to this
Oh wow, you're review is great, but the actual movie... painful. I mean it's so, so horribly bad to watch even the few segments you show here. Just, ow.
Also, dammit, don't mention the city I live in in this movie. I don't want the only time I can think of my hometown being mentioned in a video is in crappy "Night of Horror"! Gah!
Reply to this
if you do review of a boring ass movie like that again i am going to beat you with thors hammer and make you watch for the love of the game on repeat
Reply to this
i thought for sure the movie would ask "Do you want fries with that" befor the credits rolled. because im 90% sure the audio was comming out of a drive through order machine.
Reply to this
Manos is so bad that its funny as hell. This movie was so bad thats its boring as hell. There are far more movies worse than Manos as well.
BTW, my cat is named Torgo.
Reply to this
Brad,I don't envy you for having to sit through that...and I'm a Huge Fan of Horrible movies!
I had a Thought about the Music During the War Scene though,What about "War Is Coming" By Six Feet Under?
Or "Bring back the Bomb" by GWAR?
Reply to this
So, better or worse than Las Vegas Bloodbath?
Reply to this
I LOVE CREDENCE!
Reply to this
NO WAY can Las Vegas Bloodbath or Porno Holocaust be the worse movies now! The former at least has SOMETHING happen (namely, murder) even if it takes forever to get there. Whereas the latter has cheesy porn (with genital warts!), a funky soundtrack, and a zombie that gets to kill a couple people (and even forces a blowjob on one of them!) even if it's mostly dull talky filler. It's also fairly competently shot too. This? It's like if Andy Warhol decided to make a movie about ghosts instead of Empire!
Reply to this
Is it a complete coincidence how the title card resembles the cover for Six-String Samurai?
Reply to this
Late to the party but...
You did Night of Horror! Holy Shit! Both requests fulfilled.
Reply to this
I read a review of Night of "Horror" and I rented it from the best-stocked video store in my area....SWEET JESUS, there's no movie in this movie!
Everybody mentions the bit of shutter gunk on the bottom of the screen; Brad, you forgot to mention that the video box claims this is an R-rated film!
Actually that place the guy walks into is "supposed" to be a bar (!), but it just looks like the basement rec-room it actually is.
The only reason this picture exists is due to Malinowski having filmed a Civil War re-enactment in the early 1970s; it could've been a WWII film if he had gone to an air show.
Reply to this
Holy crap, was that fast-forward sound effect from Blinx: The Time Sweeper? I didn't know anyone else who had even heard of those games.
Reply to this
lol, excellent episode! I loved the 'fuck' bit too.
Reply to this
This sounds like a lot of those cheaply made movies I accordantly rented based on the modern box-cover and the lie of a plot synopsis on the back!
Great review glad to see the snob back.
Reply to this
OMG. You couldn't even save it. There was nothing to review. And you've reviewed the worst of the worst. I still love you but please don't do a movie like that again!
Reply to this
I completely forgot there were supposed to be zombies in this until the flashback... How much Valium do you need to be on to make a flick like this?
Yes, it was boring, but that was no excuse to hit the fast forward button! Couldn't you have just danced naked on your roof? THAT we could have forgiven!
Reply to this
That was more boring than Boggy Creek: Part One.
Reply to this
Okay, forgiving the fact that this movie indeed looks awful, exhausting and more uneventful than The Prey, was the music that bad you had to compare it to Richard Marx?? That Richard Marx song is like the Elton John equivalent of overplayed radio songs in my home state so comparing it to a piano score that - while repetitive - isn't half bad, is borderline insulting. Try a Jim Brickman gag next time.

That's way more clever than I was expecting. Tahnks!

Don't know if this has been mentioned already, but do the ghosts in this remind anyone else of the "Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future/Turkatron" from Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Let's look at the similarities. They're both constantly surrounded by fog, tell pointless exaggerated stories, meander endlessly like their audience actually gives a shit and only drunk/high/mentally impaired people can actually sit through their speeches. I think they actually are the same character.
PS hilarious review. As bad as the Ghost's speech was, the bar discussion in the beginning looks ten times worse. I'm surprised you were able to sit through that without hitting FF.
