Tuchergson Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

RandyHickey This was far and above Jaimie Presley's acting tour de force!! Incredible story about a midget trapped in a Pinata suit. Astounding special effects! The monster really pops! The dialog is so compelling that it's religious to be in it's godlike presence! I'm getting a tattoo of the movie cover tomorrow! College kids trapped on an island looking for underwear whilst being picked off one by one by an evil lava skinned Pinata?!! BRILLIANT! I'll have what they're smoking! Speaking of fires.... At the end when the lava dwarf is cast into the campfire and is dispatched? This scene in particular spoke to me on a cosmic level. They literally fight FIRE with FIRE! Genius! I'm just sorry that this masterfully crafted work of truly talented artists was passed over at Oscar time! How did the academy miss this TREASURE!!?? I'm sure Stanley Kubrick would have this on his coffee table were he still alive. If I may dare to say the only thing to make it better would be if they had had a monkey companion maybe to lighten up the headiness of this terrifying drama. All beginning directors should see this so they have an example of cinematic perfection to shoot for! I feel grateful, nay Blessed to have sat in the glow of it's greatness. Truly a Film For The Ages!

Aaron1375 Yes, I saw this movie on AMC, which stands for American Movie Classics. How a movie that came out in 2002 and might have came out the same year it was shown on the channel is considered a classic I will never know. How a horrible movie that is not worth your time to watch it turned up on a station that claims it only does classics is beyond me. The story is about what is essentially a killer piñata, which is kind of absurd in the first place. However, you add lots of blood and nudity to the mix and you have yourself a good fun time. Well, the makers of this movie did not want to take that route apparently and thought they were on to making the next great horror movie. And who can blame them, their movie went apparently straight to the American movie classics station where they showed it repeatedly that first October when it premiered. I thought I would give it a look see as I was expecting some sort of horror movie from the 1970's that possibly slipped by my radar, but no just another bad horror movie with bad special effects and virtually no good kills to be found.

fantasticfreddyg Caught this movie on the Sci-Fi channel under the title of Pinata: Survival Island and decided to watch it because Jaime Pressly of My Name is Earl fame was in it (Although, I prefer to think of her as Violet from her turn as Poison Ivy.) Immediately I thought it was somewhat campy, but I couldn't decide if it was a good campy or a bad campy. Anyway, since the story involved a killer Pinata demon I decided to give it a chance and continued to watch. And as I watched, I started to kind of enjoy it. Yes, it has horrible acting, camera work, sound, special effects, and a ridiculous script, story and dialogue - it has it all! But, I couldn't stop watching and laughing.I was fascinated by the premise of a giant killer Pinata demon! (Who the hell thinks this stuff up? You know they had to be on drugs when they came up with this premise!) It also didn't hurt that the girls in the movie were eye candy. Ultimately, I have to say that the movie is definitely watchable if you're in the right frame of mind - there are worse cheesy horror flicks out there than this one. If you're looking for some horror laughs - and it doesn't get much funnier than this movie, this one is worth checking out.

Horrorible_Horror_Films This is one of the finest bad horror movies ever made in the universe. The whole movie is excellent! There's an expository back story, idiots you can't wait to see get killed, and the Asian guy from Star Trek Voyager (he gets brutally killed too). And I a haven't even mentioned the killer yet - a glorified ancient pinata!!! I cannot say enough about this excellent work of art! Simply amazing. If you miss this movie you should just never ever watch a movie again. I can't get over it, this really gives all other movie a run for their money. Go see this movie and its lovable killer clay pinata with stupid characters that deserve to be killed - you wont be disappointed
