It blows... (the lid off of terror)
9 June 2004 | by (Oakland, CA) – See all my reviews

Easily the worst movie I've ever seen, do not even watch it as a joke, or to see how bad it can be, trust me, it's horrible. The acting, the "special effects", everything... I hope all copies are eventually destroyed.

The tag line is "The Jar - it blows the lid off of terror" I'd shorten it to just... "it blows."

I can't put this anymore clearly, this movie is atrocious, and not even in a "how can any movie be this bad? I've got to see it for myself and see what I'm missing." kind of way.

No, don't do that. piece of crap... walk away. awful.
