Jaws the Worst

A Picture is Worth A Thousand Reviews The picture above is a series of stills from the ending of “Jaws The Revenge.” People rip on Ed Wood’s hubcaps and pie tin flying saucer’s in his “Plan 9 From Outer Space.” However, Wood had about 200 bucks for his effects budget. “Jaws The Revenge” had about six million and you get what’s in that picture? Cynema: The cynical contempt for an audience in the making of product that is devoid of creativity, passion, production value or respect while having the financial and creative means to do better.

It may sound like the plot of a horror movie, but for this family, it’s very real. The letters they have received includes statements like “I was put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming.” and “I asked the [previous owners] to bring me young blood … once I know their names, I will call to them and draw them to me.” The letters have continued to become more disturbing with statements like “I am pleased to know your names now and the name of the young blood you have brought to me,” it continues “Who has
