Bad at its Worst.
txigloo1 July 2007
I actually sat through this movie. It is almost a badge of honor. If you do watch this movie you will understand. This is the sort of train wreck experience that no one can describe to you. "Terror at Baxter U" had the feel of a marriage between those bad made for PBS movies and a Scooby-Doo episode (in all honesty is would rather have watched a marathon of the Scrappy episodes as opposed to this). To say it is an affront to celluloid is a grave underestimation of the overwhelming atrociousness of this experiment in film making. I sit here today wondering if it was an attempt on the film makers part to prove people will watch anything; given the chance, and I would say yes, people will watch just about anything. Rent it, I dare you.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.....

The opening scene for this movie is pretty much the only good part of the movie. As to why the killed off the only hot chick in the entire movie in the first 5 minutes is beyond me. I think the only other part that entertained me was when some guy kicked this guys head off....I laughed quite a bit at that. But besides that, I don't think there was anything even remotely entertaining about this movie. Between the awesome special effects, the crappy acting and the super sweet plot, this movie was probably in my top 5 or even top 3 crappiest movies I've ever seen. I kept checking to see how much of the movie was left...and I'm not even quite sure why I watched all of it. Most of the movie I just kept hoping that the old guy would die because he was dumb and old and did nothing or that the stuttering guy would die because well, he was just plain annoying but they couldn't even do that for me...both of those douches ended up living. I wouldn't waste your time on this movie unless you feel like seeing for yourself how much this movie really blows.

God damn!

What the hell is this piece of crap movie? Did someone film this at a library? Why was the body that came over the staircase completely still, ....shouldnt those arms be moving through the wind? What is up with the crappiest camera ever and the fake combination that old guy used on the little chest? Who acts like this? I can make a better movie playing video games and sleeping called "My Life". Seriously, if you think this has a plot worth your money then go ahead and buy it but please make sure you burn this piece of crap when your done it doesn't deserve to be reproduced. This movie consists of bad acting, bad camera, horrible props, stupidity, and best of all ugly people.

The worst movie I've ever seen (so far)

So my friends and I enjoy watching terrible movies. Usually, they're funny and we get some laughs out of them. For example, "In the Woods," "From Venus," and "S.I.C.K" just to name a few. But this was different.

I've read other reviews of terrible movies in which people say something like, "This movie was so bad, it was painful to watch." To be honest, I never really thought that was possible. I always figured there'd be laughs to come from terrible movies. But we had to bite the bullet and agree with that statement for this movie. Sure, some individual clips might be laughable, but overall, this movie is profoundly painful.

Basically - terrible acting, terrible camera work (some scenes last minutes, and they're not impressive long shots, they're boring), terrible characters, terrible song that repeats throughout the entire movie, terrible plot twist (because at the time that it actually happens, you just don't care about the film at all), terrible green hallway for the last 30 minutes. I could keep going but I think you get the picture.

This movie felt like way more than 80 minutes, but we were determined to finish it. You simply can't connect with any character at all. In fact, we hated every single one of them and wished that they'd all die in the end.

The movie also does not progress at all. One scene will show a character walking down a hall. Then it will cut to another character walking down a different hall (keep in mind, if it's the latter half of the movie, both halls are probably green). Then just repeat the process over and over again until the end.

By the way, if you have a sick old man fetish, you might like the professor's nipple action (20ish year old caressing and licking old man's boob at the end).

So bad it's bad

Some movies are so bad they're good. This one goes beyond those, skips over the good and ends up coming full circle, so bad it's bad again. To the reviewer who thought it a comedy don't kid yourself. The film is a tragedy both for those involved in its making and those who have the misfortune to see it.

It's so bad that it has a hypnotic effect on the viewer, you can't tear your eyes away from the abomination before you. I got the distinct impression that the actors were all the poor victims of some frightful curse which doomed them to inhabit this film for eternity, playing the same terrible part over and over and over again. I swear you can see it in their eyes, haggard and haunted as if they are trying desperately to communicate with the viewer, Help us! Help us! Tragically all that we can give them is our profound pity and the hope that one day someone more skilled in the arcane arts will be able to free them from their terrible prison.

This was sort of a comedy, not a serious horror movie.

I don't know how the previous reviewers could take this flick so seriously; it was obviously a no budget horror spoof, and some of the scenes had me laughing my head off. The Police Lt. role was almost entirely meant to be funny, and I thought the actor did a pretty good job. The close-up shots of the faces he made, the overly dramatic way he tried to intimidate suspects, the scenes of him lunging at the phone as he sat there at his desk, the way he just shot at anything that moved, were all quite hilarious. The character of Dr. Moxie was also hilarious, and turned out to be a ruse by the dastardly doctor. That the other reviewers failed to appreciate these aspects of the flick just illustrates the old saying; some people just have no sense of humor...
