DEMON COP - A CLIP FROM THE WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME
[Jul. 7th, 2006|08:18 pm]
Yes, folks, I've entered into the world of YouTube. Actually, I uploaded this piece of video about a month ago but held out until LiveJournal completed some recent upgrades that allows for the posting of YouTube clips. The clip in question is a few minutes from the finale of a little known (and with good reason) film entitled DEMON COP, a 1990 atrocity about a former probationary officer who is a patient at a mental asylum that escapes and prowls the city, looking for victims whose blood may cure the blood disease he has that has turned him into a werewolf/demon-like monster. The movie was an unfinished film called THE CURSE OF SOMETHING BESTIAL that Fred Olen Ray picked up, shot a few new scenes for in order to salvage it, and released it under the title DEMON COP. As far as I know DEMON COP has never seen the light of day in the US outside of a few late night cable showings about 15 years ago. Even bootlegs of this thing are near impossible to come by. Heck, the copy I got ahold of was a DVD from Thailand and for all I know it might even be a bootleg. Even Fred Oley Ray openly acknowledges that the film is beyond awful. All I know is that I had come across info talking about how DEMON COP was one of the single worst movies ever made. Naturally, this peaked my curiosity and we all know how well that turned out for the cat. DEMON COP is arguably the single worst movie I've ever seen - almost completely incoherent, very talky, boring as hell, and both mentally and physically agonizing to endure. It's so pitiful, so unwatchable, I doubt I could even do a review of the thing. However, it does have one sequence of sheer hilarity (Maybe it isn't the worst movie of all time but it's still carpooling in the worst movie lane!) and I beg of you don't let what you're about to watch fool you into saying, "I've got to see this movie." Just trust me when I say you don't want to go there. You don't want to go any further than what you're about to see. What you're about to see really need no set-up other than to say the title monster man doesn't like being lied to. Enjoy.
We have two cops who dont run out of ammo fighting a talkative monster who is doing nothinig but standing and talking a lot, who then throws a rather rickety table with mysteriously no cover or glass which is witnessed by a girl who pops out from behind a fence just to scream and run away. Then the monster proceeds to fight off the cops without killing them, and suddenly a ranger shoots a needle from his rifle, just to drive off.... o...kay.
I think I know what I will do for fun in the coming weeks. I will go up to random strangers and bellow out "Lies, lies, lies. Why did you lie to me? RARGH! It's not over till the fat lady sings, RARGH!"
amazed the general vibe here is to NOT bother watching DEMON COP. I say: devote your life to seeing DEMON COP! it is hilarious. one of the funniest films i have ever seen. seriously. can't wait until novermber...
first of all, i LOVE awful movies, get some beer, an atrocious movie, all good fun... so i picked this up today. haha this film is RANCID. i never thought i would see a movie worse than "manos:the hands of fate", but it actually happened. im a bit of a masochist when it comes to tripe movies so naturally i thought it was worth the budget price, but christ this one is a STINKER.
below is a direct quote from the movie, honestly, im not making this up:
"I feel the next stage is total loss of reality, no more lucid moments, even in beastial form, no more awareness of knowing you're living like a bad man but washing and shaving just the same.That youve killed animals, people you were pissed off about when you know you look like something during halloween. no more wondering why your messed up trying to find out what messed you up, no more flashbacks showing why your pissed off and what you would like to do about it. i cant even explain how i keep living or why ive been injured in places a normal person would die instantly.... or even easily!"
and it goes on, and on, and on.
if you like bad movies give it a chance... but trust me its a thousand times worse than even stuff like "troll2", "granny" and "shark attack 3"
Believe it or not, I've had the honor of not only MEETING Producer and partial Director Hal Miles, but I took his Cinematography class at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He doesn't talk about Demon Cop, and if you mention it to him he tends to get a little bit pissed off. One of my friends actually recreated part of the "Lies" sequence for a final project in the class... he wasn't very happy about it.
I just obtained a copy of this shit-sandwich via eBay, and will be screening it for all of my Film buddies here at SCAD this weekend.
Once I'm a little closer to graduation, I'm thinking about asking Prof. Miles to sign my copy of Demon Cop, when he can no longer screw with my academic career in retaliation.
