One of the best things about Mark's reviews is that, even though he makes fun of all these bad and weird movies (which is of course the main attraction of this channel), he also takes the time to praise and appreciate any technical or artistic aspects that are well done or that show there is some actual talent among the disaster. That's really interesting and even endearing because it shows respect for many of the creators involved; most bad film critics on YT only care about mocking the movies and are usually dismissive and sometimes even nasty, which is always a turn-off (for me, anyway).

[@JerryD9000]

I thought the EXACT same thing about the ending. Kind of a weird ego stroke there.

[@-..-_-..-]

yeah i almost feel like it wasnt an ego stroke but his attempt at some tragic character study that feels like an ego stroke partly by intention and partly just bc he's playing the lead and he and the lead share a name, like, ok: its about a hack fraud without talent who due to his conmannery gets a lot of people killed in addition to murdering a guy after which he becomes rich and makes an ego trip movie about how cool he is that really just shows off what an asshole conman he is, then his life falls apart and he dies hated by everyone. if the director weren't the star nobody would ever call it an ego project. it still seems like a pile of shit but i can at least understand the concept, or i can weasel an unintended concept around the larger plot points, idk like mark says a number of times that he should have seen this or that coming but it feels to me (based only on what's in the video) that that's largely the point. he's a fraud. mark says he is talented at everything but from what he shows in the video it just feels like he blunders into horribly dangerous situations that endanger and destroy those around him, leaving him standing and enriched. fate blatantly intervenes and kills the cop that was chasing him at literally the exact moment he gets himself caught and he has literally nothing to do with it. he's starts the movie a lying thief, the stars reward him with prosperity and he begins to believe in his own powers when he's valorized by the plot, his stars change and the forces of the plot come down upon him when he tries doing the same shit he did to succeed earlier in the movie (killing his wife's lover) bc his success wasnt truly a function of his personal qualities as he'd deluded himself into believing but rather of the ebbs and flows of fortune *in spite* of his personal qualities. this all comes together to feel like a critique of those who find themselves in positions of success and prestige and power and then look around and explain to themselves and everyone around them what it is that makes them so successful and special. he's far from the only example but think about donald trump having books ghostwritten or giving speeches and interviews where he explains how special and genius he is and why he got to be a multimillionaire while all around him there was suffering. the truth of the matter is that those at the top of the mountain very often *did* just fall there, and absent their very own personal sisyphus (represented in the movie by the fact that the first half of the movie is craig getting to tell his own story looking back from the very height of his success) pushing them toward the summit they'd have rolled back down just like the rest of us. idk possible im reading into it entirely too far as someone who hasnt even seen the thing but there's *something* interesting here that could have been wrestled into a coherent movie. either way it was obviously made as poorly as one could ever possibly imagine. idk like i said these are just a pile of incomplete stream of consciousness thoughts based on what's in the vid,, it definitely doesn't feel like craig the filmmaker is trying to valorize craig the character though, it feels like he's making a metacritique of vanity projects in general and just failing at it idk

The most surprising part of this to me, is the cinematography and blocking/shot set-ups are actually really competently done. Specifically for the time. Usually, in the 70s, these independent films had directors that didn't understand anything about directing. But this has well framed shots, lit correctly, and moving frames that are appropriate to the scene. He seems as though he could have been an at least competent director. That or his director of photography held his hand through it, ala Greg Toland with Citizen Kane.

[@Paul-qe1jn]

Craig should've been just a producer. Edit: alright I just read some comments and he's super weird. Good he went this way and failed.

[@jimmym3352]

Certainly much better cinematography than Manos: Hands of Fate. The money went to something. With a decent story and maybe less ego of wanting to implement his own, maybe he could have done something.

For some reason, I love your reviews of movies that don’t tell a coherent story.

[@cartoonsomething1627]

with a few changes you can always rebrand it as an Alejandro Jorodowski 70's movie...

[@WilliamsEtcPro]

My God....you're right...

I really like how she pointed that revolver clearly off to the side (camera wasn't aligned properly for the image to work) and down at his belly, and the cop has a squib on his head explode. Good times.

[@jfljones4787]

When Craig has a beard, does he kind of remind you of Torgo?

[@retroray58warby98]

Hi Mark, thanks for this fantastic review of an almost lost ‘masterpiece’ of incompetence. I think a more appropriate quote for the ending of this movie also comes from King Lear - “Thou art a boil, a plague sore”. (Act 2, Scene 2).

[@grapeshot]

Oh the 70s when people dress themselves and then looked in the mirror and said I could care less.

[@lw2835]

It's funny how the 80's were the exact opposite

[@viscountrainbows6452]

The 70s: the decade when hairdressers went on strike

[@brianmoore9350]

If they could care less that implies that there is some lesser level of care that they could experience.

It's almost sad how in my town the cemetery is less than a mile away from the park's playground. Like there's a walking trail with markers and at the 3/4 of a mile (the start is at the park entrance) you will be in the middle of the cemetery. Which is also weird cause that particular mile marker is shaped and designed like a headstone 🙃 so trash from the park gets blown into the graves everyday.

His hype man is badass - 2:33 - "His priceless gym, his priceless vervulation of your very selves... "

[@jameswarner5878]

I thought you described the whole movie and then you said that that was just the first 20 minutes. My face literally had a shocked expression on it, I physically reacted to you saying that.

[@TastyLemon123]

This was damn funny to watch. I was in tears laughing when he killed the boat guy for no reason 🤣

[@akufromthefuturejmm6237]

Mark and his reviews are what have helped me get through the lockdown, the loneliness that came when my girlfriend dumped me for being too distant (I have aspergers and it's hard on some people. I'm not a robot, but I also am unable to easily share and connect with others. I really do try.. but it's not enough for some people. I don't blame her. I couldn't love me either. Lbs), and the murder of my best friend/roommate. I'm not saying this channel saved my life or anything.. only that it was one of a handful of things the last year that helped me pass tune during my days of grieving. So thank you mark! You didn't cure me... but you truly did help take my mind off of shifty things going on in my life. *I discovered you ages ago when a different ex roommate spiked me with lsd, and as it kicked in hard-core I watched your reviews of the "never-ending story" films. Been an avid viewer since! Keep up the good work! Just do you.. You do you, I'll do me, and we won't do each other... probably

[@karnerblue7658]

Hope you’re doing well now! 🙂

[@feltongailey8987]

Ahhh, the fast and loose 70's. Considering the amount of weed, coke and LSD floating around. I'd say this is a pretty well developed plot. This dude really had it together man.

[@Chilling_Charizard]

I just saw the first clip of the actors and their energy is flatter than a piece of gum being trampled on in a busy walkway.

[@TheIndependentLens]

You need to see “Asylum of Terror” if you think this is bad. Put it this way: once you watch “Asylum of Terror” all other movies, including the one reviewed in the video, WILL BE GOOD MOVIES by comparison.

[@devonstart2758]

im only 4 minutes and change into this.. and that dudes headband is so versatile. Its a small head band, then its a very 70s kerchief, then its a large head wrap.. almost a turban, then back to kerchief. man gets a lot of mileage from that one piece of cloth

[@koppsr]

And at some point after the movie, Craig changed his last name to Breen .....it all makes sense now!

[@greatskytrollantidrama4473]

Picnic in cemetery used to be relatively common. Especially in small towns without parks. A cemetery might be the best maintained grass in the county.

[@lee-ur7nt]

The whole movie was probably written around the idea of that Moody Blues scene...ha

[@ranga5004]

God this content is 10/10 and just keeps getting better!

[@TyrantOfSteel]

I had to laugh at the sign for the Kenyan police station, spelled out with bamboo sticks 😂😂😂

[@XeroCool420]

"Wow......Thats deep" So this is the 70's version of The Room before The Room was The Room 🤣🤣🤣

[@DenerWitt]

the editing in this movie should be considered abstract art

[@BGNOLA]

That bar scene reminds me of a Kenneth Anger film, down to the Platters song on the soundtrack (I'm sure he didn't get that cleared either).

[@dos3622]

It's time for "Did You Know". Did you know when "The Astrologer" came out, another movie with the same name and almost the same story, came out one year before it? This Craig guy is shady.

[@gelatinskeleton8745]

I just discovered this channel… late last night… and I’m so fucking happy I did.

[@Kirifuki]

I ordered a pizza to watch this.

[@sedevacante0027]

I reheated pizza to watch this.

[@robbylebotha]

Why would a pizza watch this?

[@nalomelimaia]

@@robbylebotha pizza is the local prostitutes name.

[@TerrenceNowicki]

Wait, so this movie was missing for decades and is about a mystic at a carnival, and a character in it is named "The Great Alexander?" That movie "Carnival Magic" that they used for one of the Netflix MST3K episodes was also missing for decades and was also about a mystic at a carnival, and the mystic had a talking chimp named "Alexander the Great." Did both movies have some common source of inspiration? Was Carnival Magic inspired by this movie? Was the director of this movie also murdered by his live-in building contractor and buried under the floor of his own home?
