Sledgehammer (1983)
"The Room" of Slasher Flicks
First of all, I want to make clear this caveat- it takes a lot of effort to conceive of, write, and execute a film, not to mention actually get it into video stores in the earliest days of VHS. This alone is worthy of respect.
With that out of the way, as a representative of the art form, this is easily one of the worst movies ever made, from every conceivable standpoint. The characters are not even one-dimensional, what can generously be called a plot has galaxy-sized holes in it, the killer has powers which are hilariously inconsistent scene-to-scene, some shots linger well past the point of absurdity, scenes are needlessly drawn out and some, inexplicably, are in slow motion, with several ending in weird freeze-frames, and a key moment where the killer's motivation is revealed (I think) is so muffled that it is indecipherable.
This is a very hard movie to get through, and it clocks in at well under 90 minutes.
Watch this with a group of friends in the style one would watch The Room or Rocky Horror, the latter of which looks like Citizen Kane in comparison.
Night of the Bloody Transplant (1970)
The Longest 71 Minutes of My Life
Inept filmmaking, in every way conceivable.
Somehow, even at 71 minutes run time- with several scenes clearly padded with "shooting the rodeo" footage- it still seemed endless.
Avoid, unless you are particularly masochistic or you lost some type of bet.
