I thought I had seen some pretty bad movies ("Maplewoods" is pretty darn awful) but I think this 2003 direct-to-DVD movie "Vicious" takes the cake. The acting by Tom Savini isn't bad (though he isn't in half of the movie) but for Pete's sake, the CGI monster is the worst monster I have ever seen in my life (and I watched the paper plate alien spaceships in "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and the carpet monster in "The Creeping Terror). Too bad I watched this movie alone. I don't laugh too much, regarded by my friends as a very serious person. But seriously, this takes the cake as the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.Note to filmmakers: The anamitronic models of the monster worked fine. Why not just use that instead of the awful, half-finished monster? Maybe so I could get a laugh?

Breathtakingly dumb, this execrable micro-budgeted, dialogless loser pits insipid teens (played by ugly 30 year olds)against embarassing $10 cgi monster effects. Mangled action scenes and half baked dialogue are the highlights of this puke for brains wretched mess. A bloodless phony that hardcore pornography couldn't even help! Just plain crummy! Flush it, or suffer and learn.

What is this garbage. I like monster movies, but this is just plain stupid. Kills my opinion of Tom Savini. More and more he associates himself with cheap, boring, direct to video crud. What happened? Buyer Beware!

Cheap, and silly looking. The marines walk like drag queens! This is an illogical mess even for a horror film. So bad yet not bad in a funny way. Obvious that the classic genre cast (Tom Savini, Brinke Stevens) will do anything for a paycheck. The scenes with Bill Moseley look like they are from a different film or used to pad this bore out to even more painful minutes. I paid for an unreleased video copy, and now I know why it is unreleased! Don't get suckered like did. Avoid at all cost.
