deadcatsdontpurr I rented this movie for a little thing me and some friends do every other weekend called "B-Movie Night". Basically, the goal is to find the worst movie you can find and put it up against another person's find. This particular movie won me the title of "Survivor of the B-Movies". While I was looking for a bad movie I saw a movie with no cover art simply called "The Jar". So I grabbed it. This movie was so weird, so stupid, so badly acted, and so long that the choice was clear... I had found the worst B-Movie ever. The plot made no sense, the effects were crap, and the budget was hilariously low. I still cant believe I watched the damn thing. So, unless you plan on hosting your own "B-Movie Night" and totally blowing the lid off bad movies, please, don't waste your time with this movie... my friends and I have already done that for you.Josh

icarus48-1 Spoilers below. THIS MOVIE FILTH! I honestly hope they were kidding when they took the premis of this movie and adapted it into a film. The main character mainly wanders around turning his lights on and off, and drinking water. When he isnt doing that he is either abusing a woman who loves him because carring rocking chairs has left her in a state of life debt to him for eternity, OR having the most boring and poorly lit halucinations ever. There are things in this movie I just don't understand. Like the seen where we witness three minutes of our hero (Read: inept hairy fool) walking down a street. He finally arives at his destination (See's Cookie shop) we then wait outside for him to buy I cookie. I wish I were joking. Then he eats the cookie and walks away. The Plastic figurine under blue lighting is never thwarted by cookies, the main characters have no passion for cookies, the heart of a woman is not won with cookies, THIS SCENE IS USELESS!!! Much like every other scene in the movie. Also, the ending of our main man's life, involves randomly walking up to a potted plant, feeling a leaf on it, then digging in its dirt. Then a face is uncovered and there is a poorly lit orange spot to the side of it. Our main character screams and is never seen or heard from again...right. In the next scene his body is gone, so I am left to ponder my meaning in life. This movie is artsy film making gone horribly wrong. And as a note to its producers, real artists use light (and get the subject in the frame). They also do at least SOME sound before post production.

JHC3 I must say I'm a glutton for punishment. I rented "The Jar" simply because I knew nothing about it and it cost a mere ninety-nine cents. The sad fact of the matter is I should have checked imdb.com first. Perhaps had I done this, I could have saved myself the agony. Scratch that...I'll rent almost anything for a dollar without first considering that I'm sacrificing precious time as well.The film begins with a motorist picking up a bizarre old man after an accident. Instead of taking him to a hospital or to the police, he brings the crazed old coot to his apartment. The man soon disappears, leaving behind a jar containing a hideous demonic thing. It is not long before it begins to grate at the man's sanity, causing hallucinations, mood swings, paranoia, and depression. This ultimately endangers his job, the potential for romance with a new neighbor, and perhaps even his life."The Jar" is little more than a forum for a load of disjointed, barely related, surreal visions. The overall effect is to bore the viewer to tears. Decent acting? Continuity? Look elsewhere for these elements. They are absent from this film. Any reasonable person will grant that "The Jar" was hampered by a low budget. However, budget cannot be an excuse for a film this bad, certainly the worst I've seen in 2002.

Paul T. Monster The plot involves a hairy guy named Paul who picks up a creepy old man who was injured in a car accident. The old man insists on taking along this jar wrapped in a bag. Paul takes the old man back to his (Paul's) apartment, the old man vanishes and Paul is left with this jar, which contains this little blue monster that looks like one of the Ghoulies. After that, things get weird as Paul hallucinates and/or dreams all this stuff.I suppose there could be some symbolism in the film, but we know nothing about Paul before the dreams start, and the dreams seem to have no connection to anything that is happening. My theory is that the director or writer or whoever it was that decided to make this movie took all the weird dreams he had had in his life and rolled them into this painful film. None of the dreams are memorable enough to require a visual translation, though, so they're quite boring to watch. This begs the question of why he decided to do it.This movie has the feel of a really bad student film. Someone attempting to make an "arty" movie.Another interesting thing about this film is that it was made in Colorado, but appears to be badly dubbed. All the characters have these dull, out-of-place voices that don't seem to match their faces. It reminds me of B-Movies from the '60s like "Manos: The Hands of Fate" and "The Beast of Yucca Flats" that were either recorded without sound or had the sound erased, and then tried to put sound back in in post-production.I think this is a bad movie, but I'm no expert. There could be some deep meaning to this film that I don't get. Give it a rent and see for yourself.
