7) Gingerclown
It’s a shame that the first 3D horror comedy in Hungarian history had to be a steaming pile of crap, but when one of your characters resembles just that, what can you really expect? While puppets have been historically used in horror for such films as Child’s Play, Dead Silence, Puppet Master, Dolls, and plenty more, Gingerclown makes a case for some of the WORST puppetry ever captured on film.
Imagine a gigantic monster who can’t emote because there are NO moving costume parts, like a haplessly created statue with a struggling actor waddling underneath – and I promise the real thing looks infinitely worse than my description. That’s the Gingerclown (Tim Curry), a monster unable to achieve a threatening status because of sheer immobility.
[zergpaid]Balázs Hatvani is the mastermind behind this blatant 80s ripoff, steering wildly off the course of being a cheeky, fun homage to old-school monster movies. Gingerclown hopes you’ll love every minute of poorly written dialogue, weak visuals, unhidden blemishes, and hammy acting (like canned ham, we aren’t talking honey glazed), because it wants you to believe every faltering moment is on purpose. “Bro, we’re not just a bad movie, we’re TRYING to be bad. Get it? That’s how films become cult classics, right?”
No. It’s not. Here, just read this already:
Gingerclown is an 80s homage gone HORRIBLY awry, veering off somewhere around the cursing teapot or oddly-accented Californians.
