Review of Grotesque

Grotesque (1988)
1/10
And that's not a movie title, it's a movie DESCRIPTION...

Warning: Spoilers
You want a really bad movie? A really REALLY bad movie? One so bad that it'll make you trash your TV, gouge out your eyes with a rusty spoon and dive off the closest pier? Here you go.

"Grotesque" is the name of your pain and what a pain it is! There's little to no plot to speak of. I watched it on USA a while back and felt cheated and short-changed then. I pity those of you who watched the full version.

Even with Linda Blair in it, she does precious little for the value of this flick (the LEAST she could have done is worn that dress she had on in "Hell Night").

And here's the really, REALLY bad part:

SPOILER (?) -

At the end, it turns out the whole story-line is a MOVIE being projected by a faux werewolf and Frankenstein monster, grumbling about how bad today's horror movies are. So in desperation, they jump out of the projection room and scare the theater audience away, Blair amongst the group. Then, after all are gone, the monsters jump around and hug each other in celebration of their "victory".

  • END OF SPOILER


I had a headache clear across my face after watching this. I was robbed, literally, physically, emotionally and psychologically by "Grotesque". Don't let this happen to you!

No stars. You expected anything more?
