Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
MartinHafer This is a straight to video release--and it appears to have been made using a VHS camcorder. I love how the film is often out of focus and has a VERY slow zoom--which means the equipment was way out of date even back in 2004. I love how there are completely random and cruddy looking edits. I love how some of the camera-work through the corn maze causes motion sickness in the viewer! I love how every trick and gizmo on the camera is used--even if there is no rational reason for it! The bottom line is that any yahoo with no talent could have filmed this...and apparently one did. In fact, it really looks like someone's home movies.As for the story, I couldn't really discern much of one. It takes place around a corn maze but WHAT was happening and why...?! Mostly, it's just random running about and yelling. The acting is strictly the kids and friends of the filmmaker--with as much talent as you'd expect from people who in a home movie! The bottom line is that this looks FAR less professional than the movies of Ed Wood or even Tommy Wiseau's "The Room"! At least in some strange way they could be seen as movies or at least attempts at movies. "The Maize" is just home video and nothing more. While the film is currently #47 on IMDb's dubious Bottom 100 list, this seems like a travesty, as in comparison, at least 97 of the films on the list look more professional. It should be #1 or #2.
jake-179 I am ashamed to even be writing a review of this "movie" because it means I admit that I watched it. I didn't actually watch it, though, I mostly just fast-forwarded through it. And the only reason I came in to contact with this piece of crap is because my friend DJ (Donnyzona) sent the DVD to me as a joke and insisted I watch it. This is not a "movie." It is just some home video of a guy walking around in a corn field. The guy in the field is the same moron who actually made this garbage, Bill Cowell. Looks like somebody gave Bill an old fashioned standard definition cam corder from the late 1980's and he decided he would shoot a bunch of video and call it a movie. Bill Cowell is an idiot. He didn't even bother to get a high def camera. I mean, Best Buy doesn't even SELL standard definition cameras anymore! He has NO sense of film making or story telling. He does not have a light kit, much less a reflector. And it appears to me that he used an old fashioned Video Toaster to "edit" this piece of crap together. I say that because he repeatedly uses the old picture-in-picture function that the Toaster had. This only adds to the amateurish nature of this home video. Now let me tell you in case you are wondering, the majority of this video is just Bill Cowell walking around in a corn field yelling, "Hey where are you? Can you hear me? Answer me please." That is THE MAJORITY of the video and I am NOT KIDDING. The run time on this disaster is over 100 minutes and most of those minutes are as described above. I kept fast forwarding and then playing a little to check, and it just kept going like that. I really couldn't believe it. The real offender here is Lions Gate. They are the ones who distributed this. Are they really that desperate for material to distribute? If so, I have some old video I shot with my old handy cam of me and my friends walking around Fremont Street here in Las Vegas. They could just pay me whatever they paid Bill Cowell and release my unedited footage as "Dark Harvest 4" or whatever. It would probably be better than this pile of trash. If you come across any of these DVD's, pick them up and put them in the garbage where they belong. This would be the same as throwing away an old beer can, or that annoying plastic bag that blew in to your yard, or an old cereal box. It is just garbage, that's all. Throw it away, do not watch it. Absolute crap.
wynonasbigbrownbeaver Apparently this was an award winner. Apparently someone had a gun against his/her head and was force to nominate Maize: the Movie.Or this must have been a mistake.This is the most unwatchable movie ever made. The screening and the editing is the biggest horror of this movie. Two little girls get lost in a cornfield and get stalked by someone who can be heard laughing under his rubber mask. The little girls run into their hero dad, and then runs away from him, W.T.F.? The hero dad in the movie keeps losing track of them in the few minutes of watching this.The girls obviously weren't trained actors, and had no common sense to them. They were so annoying and so infantile in the movie, it not even remotely comedic. Hearing them scream over and over again like a broken record was the reason why I got up and left. You can't even listen to this movie without nearly going into convulsions.I can puke a better award winner than this garbage.
xkindofcheesyx This movie was horrendous... It had absolutely nothing to do with Dark Harvest. And the DVD was very misleading because it showed a scarecrow and a scythe, neither of which appeared in this movie.The beginning was a jumble of random scenes that, most of which, had nothing to do with the movie, except that they sort of show that the man is psychic... but not too well...After the first 10 minutes of the movie there is an hour of just the man character looking for his daughters. It gets vaguely interesting when the daughters meet two girls who died the year before. But that's the extent of it.And why, might i ask, was this movie rated R? There were two drops of blood and 4 curse words. And how on earth did it get into a video store?? This movie was poorly acted, poorly filmed, poorly written, and overall horribly executed.
