Reeker

I love bad films, but this one occupies that realm of "why'd I bother", rather than "that was amazing".

The first five minutes definitely outshine the rest of this movie. It starts off giving the impression that a really bad stench is killing people violently. That's right- a woman hits a deer, she stops, and her husband and dog are killed horribly by a cloud of stink while her kid screams. Amazingly bad/good start.

Unfortunately, it turns out that when you're on the verge of death, or having a near death experience, you 'smell death' or something, and get sucked into this trippy fight-fo- your-life game with some kind of robo-death villain. It's less fun than it sounds- if you're in the mood for something decently bad in this genre, go watch Running Man. That one's worth watching.
