Retardead, 2008 – ★★
Offensive title aside, it’s a rough, tasteless ride—but somehow the ending manages to stick better than expected.
Offensive title aside, it’s a rough, tasteless ride—but somehow the ending manages to stick better than expected.
Dripping with ’80s vibes and practical goo—it’s dated in the best way, with just enough weird to keep it fun.
Exactly what you’d expect from the name—silly, shallow, and proudly ridiculous, but not much beyond the gimmick.
Ultimately just another slow crawl through well-worn horror territory with nothing new to say.
Passable horror with a decent hook, but it never rises above average. You’ll forget it by the time the credits roll.
Stunning to behold, but the déjà vu is hard to shake. Style nearly makes up for the lack of fresh perspective.
Hooks you with its visuals and keeps you around with a thoughtful core. Familiar ideas, but presented with style and care.
Ambitious in structure but lacking in payoff, the threads feel disconnected and the themes half-baked.
Completely absurd but not in a way that works—Cage gives it his all, but even he can’t sell this laughably miscast adventure.
Loud, lifeless, and strangely empty, it’s a disappointing swan song for a director who once had real flair.
Feels like a reheated version of better films—familiar beats, predictable turns, and not enough edge to stand out.
Has style, charm, and chemistry to spare—but it overstays its welcome. Trim the fat and it could’ve really soared.
The premise hooks you early, but the amateur-hour acting drags it down. With stronger performances, this could’ve really cut deep.
Tries for edgy but mostly feels forced, with performances that grate and a story that never really finds its footing.
Well-shot but pointless, it adds nothing new and feels like a studio checklist rather than a story worth telling.
