Ghost Fever (1986)
1/10
I hope the writer of this abortion died from a bad case of 'Ghost Fever'

I'm a big fan of 'so bad they're good' films and have worked my way through a pig's trough full of Canon misfires and have always found something odd, funny or endearing in each ugly duckling of a cinematic mess.

But this. THIS.

Unfunny? Yes. Boring? Hell yes. Poorly written? Wow, hard to formulate an appropriate sentiment that reflects the level of incompetence that some braindead half-wit mustered to actually have typed out this screenplay. Let alone the fact that other dunderpated dullards backed it with production money???? How? Why? Where? All the questions!

Do NOT let the fact that Sherman Helmsley stars in this shaggy dog sway you for one second into assuming that it contains any humour. This is as far from The Jefferson's as the north is from the south.

I'm never offended by films but this was an insult to my intelligence and the medium of filmmaking. Having a crippling bout of Ghost Fever is no excuse for writing or directing Ghost Fever, even Explosive AIDS would be a hard sell for excusing this IQ reducing paean to ignorance.
