There are actually a few voters who rate this as a "10". The only explanation is that this was the first movie they ever saw and they made their rating before seeing their second movie. Maybe their only prior exposure to video was the shopping channel.
Public Service Announcement-It is true that the writers, cast, and crew did not intend to make a serious film. And the idea behind a parody is to make the genre being spoofed look idiotic-this usually has some amusement value. However, if looking for ways to pull off a parody it would be best to look elsewhere.
While perhaps not the worst movie ever made, it may very well be the least imaginative parody of all time. It would have worked better had they been serious (ah la 'Plan Nine'), then all the low budget-moronic script moments would have been funny. And if you hoped that the promotional poster of Gloria DeHaven's niece in cutoffs indicated a little soft-core fun, you will be sadly disappointed. The niece never takes off her baggy shirt and the remainder of the cast is as unattractive as they are untalented. Actually it is hard to say if they are less attractive, less talented, or less intelligent; but they certainly lead the league in all three categories.
If you are ever forced to view this mess there are a couple of nominally interesting things: 1. It was shot on pre-digital video and really shows why video has only recently improved enough to become an alternative to film; 2. If you are thinking of making a movie this one illustrates that the bar is not set very high-the makers of 'Cabin Fever' were probably inspired during pre-production with the ease with which something like this could be slapped together-although at least they had some moderately attractive humans (note I did not say actors) in their cast. Avoid this unless you are massively sedated.
