The outpourings of a deranged mind

Worst. Film. Ever!

On the advice of one of my colleagues I recorded Hawk The Slayer (actually, to be fair he told me it was diabolical, which instantly piqued my interest). Some films are bad. Some are so bad they’re funny. Some are so bad they’re painful, but none are the equal of Hawk The Slayer. It makes porn films look like highbrow, well acted epics with complex plot lines and deep social commentary. The special effects are laughable (the man who’s lost his hand now has one arm longer than the other) but the defining feature of this film, however, has to be its soundtrack. It’s truly awful late 70’s disco type with fledgling electronic sound effects (I know, it’s a fantasy film, but the sound effects sound more like they’re from Buck Rogers). I just can’t seem to drag myself away from it though…

…nopeĀ  I just can’t do it - it’s too awful, even for me.

    I recall this when it came out. Top film :-)

    I agree, top film. One of the worst films ever made possibly even worse than Krull.

    Oh, come now, Krull was pure genius. This was WAY worse than Krull :D
