Despite its actors, its lush photography and its obvious seriousness of purpose, is as close to a form of torture as any film ever devised. I can't think of any individuals I dislike so much as to force them to see this picture. -

In slightly less than 1,000 years, the competition for worst film of the third millennium will be fierce. Yet the smart money may well be on the Korean art film Lies. -

It's a completely botched effort -- botched in its direction, its writing and editing. -

It is possible to watch 90 minutes of this comedy without once cracking a smile. [12 Jan 1994] -

It's a dishonest satire that manages to be (disingenuously) contemptuous of white people and (unintentionally) condescending toward black people, without ever being funny. -

Gerry is ragingly bad art that contributes to a definition of independent film as something no one would want to sit through. -

That the movie becomes silly isn't necessarily a problem, but it also becomes tiresome, degenerating into a series of martial arts interludes -- everyone unaccountably leaves his guns at home. -

Remarkably empty, remarkably noisy, remarkably pleasureless. It's unwatchable. -

Achingly long and pointless, "Runs" is a movie about family that's dishonest in its presentation of every relationship. -

One of the downsides of living in a free society is that every so often someone like Myles Berkowitz gets hold of a camera. -

The film is a failure in just about every way, save for its acting, which is adequate. -

A sour story with a repellent lead character, deadly comic schtick and tin-eared direction to produce 90 minutes of sheer, plodding mirthlessness. -

The equivalent of a full-course meal with no calories. It is a mirage of a movie, 100 minutes of nothing. -

An amazing film amazingly tasteless, tin-eared and awkward, but amazing all the same. Anyone with a predilection for bad movies might want to see it, if only in an inspecting-the-wreckage spirit, since because movies this misguided come but once or twice a year. -

Proves that it's possible to make a movie so tasteless and so crude that audiences don't laugh. This is worthwhile information. It means there's a limit. -

It's so low it scrapes through the barrel and deep into the earth's core. It's the lowest piece of garbage to hit screens in months. -

The most thoroughly joyless and inept film of the year, and one of the worst of the decade. We're talking about a disaster, and not of the fun "Showgirls" variety, either. -

If garbage could think, it would look down on 9 Dead Gay Guys as garbage. -

Sommers film just lies there, weighted down by a complete lack of wit, artfulness and internal logic. So it's a disaster -- a big, loud, boring wreck. -

Take a wretched premise. Imagine the worst picture that could be made from it. Then imagine something even worse. That's Alien vs. Predator. -

Four screenwriters are credited with this sloppy piece of work. Divide the embarrassment into quarters. -

The most shocking thing about Harry and Max isn't the subject matter. The most shocking thing is just how tepid it is. -

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez had their fun with From Dusk Till Dawn, and now they need to stay away from each other. For their own good. Forever. -

How bad does it get? How far past the basement can one elevator go? -
