What are the criteria for judging terrible films?
I like Existenz, so stop it.
A film like Gamer fits the criteria for a horrid pile of crap. It's a film where its makers think they're making something really cool and brash and awesome (it fucking isn't), and they've made it for a demographic which they seem to think are video-game nerds who'll swallow any old shit as long as it moves like billy-oh and has lots of needless flashy visuals.
Made with cynicism, contempt and low art.
