| VarietyEmanuel LevyDescribed by helmer Dan Clark as a modern-art-exploitation flick, his feature debut is more exploitation than art and more a midnight flick than a legit entry in a dramatic competition of a strong and prestigious festival like Sundance |
| User ReviewDavid MI fucking loved this movie I thought it was hilarious and yes the acting and creature were horrible but that just added to my humor... |
| User ReviewWarren Gever since i saw this movie for the first time everything in life resembles the item. you can find the item anywhere. |
| User ReviewDonald Bok dont see this movie expecting a horror film becuase it was marketed horribly with this cover art but i did see it at a midnight screening and got to meet the director/writer/producer/star of the movie...yes its all one person.... and he was a great guy and i think he gave what he wanted to....a live action anime wich it really is and its a damn good one id say sure its over the top...but isnt anime?... think about it....it is fun... |
| User ReviewPrivate ULow-budget, over-the-top, weirdness galore. Can't think of a single other person I know who would like it. |
| User ReviewErik Hpretty good little sureal film that works as a crazy indie horror movie/ comedy thing. |
| User ReviewRiley HGood gory crazy movie. Campy as hell. (acting is a little weak as is the monster, but whatever). This is a fun movie to watch. |
| User ReviewDavid DThis has a creature almost like on Brain Damage. Except this guy plays psychological games and gets you to kill your peers. They shouldn't have opened the box. |
| User ReviewRichard JNot a great film but a thoroughly entertaining and always surprising one, The Item is a quirky, low-budget horror film in which a bizarre creature controls the thoughts and actions of those around it ways that funny, brutal, and gory. If you are looking for weird, then The Item has everything you might desire. |
| User ReviewScott CThe Absolute WORST movie I have ever seen. I bought it for $1, & I still got ripped off. Don't let the box cover fool you, the monster is something that needs to be seen to be believed. It is a must see simply as a test of self torture. I forced Jason as revenge for telling me to watch the Upside of Anger. |
