There is bad movies, and then there is horrible movies.
This one honestly one of the worst I've ever seen. This is along the same lines as Manos: The Hands of Fate, your kids schoolplay and troll 2.
It is appallingly bad.
I honestly don't have the words to describe how bad it is.
Yes but its a special kind of bad, its delightfully bad, its the kind of bad that cannot be imitated, all the stars and planets in the universe have to align just right to make a movie with this type of badness. If you tried to make a movie with this level of bad, you would fail, it would either be worse or better. In other words, its so bad its good.
Just because a movie is bad doesn't mean it cant entertain, and really, isn't that all that matters?
Just saw it for the first time, and rather enjoyed it for what it was, actually!
Certainly nowhere NEAR the worst, either in dialog or as a film.
Sure, the climax is deeply weird with the lion-god battle (?!) out of nowhere and some pretty cheesy delivery and action, but it's a pretty fun B-movie/low-budget sword and sorcery movie. In fact, my only major complaints beside the badly edited end battle is the reuse of Battle Beyond the Stars' soundtrack (though I adore the score so much, I forgive that) and the title having nothing to do with the movie whatsoever!
I've been marathoning a ton of cheesy, cheap, low-budget movies lately, and this is actually one of the better made ones so far, IMO.
Watch something like Creepozoids or Amazons or some of the dozens of Italian post apocalypse movies for some truly TERRIBLE dialog and performances. And even though the reused the score, at least this movie didn't stoop to using a ton of stock footage like a movie like Hybrid or Space Rangers or even the otherwise entertaining Star-Slammer!
Sorceress isn't going to win any awards, but it is far from the worst of anything when you've seen a ton of cheap B-movies!
I think you run out of your vocabulary library pretty often, Jonathan.
