Review:

Image from: Hellacious Acres: The Case of John Glass (2011)

Guy wakes up in the future wearing a rubber suit and walks from one dilapidated barn to another trying to figure out stuff. It stinks. Movie was shot all grainy and washed out. Gives new meaning to the term, "low budget". Jesus, what an awful movie. Heavy metal soundtrack drowns out dialogue. I got suckered in and bought this on a whim. Please don't make the same mistake that I made. At one point, he digs a hole and puts his head in it. Can't say I blame him. It was just bad, okay? A Canadian production. Thank god you can't blame this on some American film maker. The sale of the one DVD I bought probably put the film in the black, that's how low the production values were. Ugh. Don't EVER watch this.
