Do NOT Watch This Version

Watching this hilariously bad, low budget version of "War of the Worlds", made sometime in the late 90's. I rent it from Netflix by mistake, thinking I was getting the much older black and white version.

The visual effects and the acting are so bad and so funny that it almost made this movie worth it. I am about 30 minutes in and just can't stop laughing.

Even funnier are the special features, which includes "deleted scenes" and "special effects". At first, Boyfriend and I were incredulous that there were scenes that are even worse than the ones that they decided to include in the movie. But alas, there were. And the special effects in the movie were so, so, so bad that I almost HAD to see how they did it. It was every bit as low-budget as it looks on the film.

Anyway, want to see the newest, Spielberg-Cruise version sometime this weekend. However bad it is, can't possibly be worse than this one. Heh.
