This is without a doubt the worst movie ever made.

Ya the worst movie ever made.

Let me make sure you understand what I mean when I say that it is THE WORST MOVIE EVER PUT TO FILM IN THE HISTORY OF MOVIE MAKING. This makes Hunting Humans look like the Exorcist.
I would rather give myself an at home vasectomy with my neighbors rabid cat than watch this movie again.
But... ...If you have to watch, if your curiosity cannot be contained, be sure to check out all of the killer special features (LOL). And be sure to watch the riveting trailer to get ya in the mood. But if you wish, I can give ya a synopsis of the film and spare you the pain that no one living should ever have to know. (Without the aid of some special brownies of course :) )

The story follows the riveting journey of these two characters. One who lookes like Shannen Doherty, and the other that lookes like a wannabe gothic Lance Bass. They are a couple, and they are also "gothic". They go to a "gothic" club. Just to show you how gothic this movie is so far. The boyfriend's name is Boone, how gothic is that.
While at this "gothic" club, they meet this gothic chick (I am not bull sh*ting you) named "Goth". You heard it boys and girls a goth girl actually named "Goth". The worst wannabe in the history of the gothic culture has never stooped this low. WTF!
Goth tells them the three rules.
1 Embrace the darkness
2 Kill your fear
3 Live for death
To make a long story short, Goth kills a few people while strung out on this flour like substance called White light. Ohhh so scary. The special effects are more like the special olympics, and the acting is even worse. The retarded kid who played Corkie did a better job. Kermit the frog is more gothic than anything in this POS movie. This movie was written by a man who knows nothing about the gothic culture from his own admission. Not a single f*@king thing. If your looking to top yourself tonight, be sure to rent this first, because you won't want to live much longer after you do.

Stay away, don't go towards the light Carolann.
Jesus Christ.

This movie is like lousy porn, but without he sex scenes. And pay no attention to the other reviewer's comparison to " tacky movies like the Rocky Horror Picture Show." Unlike this movie, the Rocky Horror picture show had thing like actors, an non-handycam video recorder, and a story written by a writer over the age of fourteen.

I agree with my fellow critic, Mr Martin.... worst movie ever made. All I could think after watching this movie was "that is 2 hours of my life that I will never get back." Bad acting, bad special effects, bad script. The only good thing about this movie was when it was over! DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE!! Set it down and run far, far away.

I rented this to watch with a group of friends, originally. We saw it in the video store, and wanted to see how awful it was. Gluttons for punishment, my friends and I are.

What we were expecting was some kind of sensationalist crap, written by someone who doesn't really know what they're talking about, trying to cash in on what seems to be the current trend. And basically, that's what this movie is. But as bad as I knew it was going to be, I didn't expect this level of awfulness. It looks like it was shot on someone's home video camera, and the script... well, read on.

"Goth" is the story of a young girl named Chrissy, who has involved herself in the goth scene of LA. Our tale begins with Chrissy and her boyfriend, Boone, heading off to a concert for some kind of Korn rip-off. There, Chrissy meets the movie's title character. Yes, that's right, there is a character in this movie named Goth. (Get ready for all sorts of puns. "Hi, I'm Goth!" "Yeah, so are we!") According to Goth, she is the most hardcore person in the scene. Everyone else is just a lame poseur. This, of course, includes Chrissy, and Goth wants to take her under her wing and show her what being goth really means.

Apparently being goth means murdering and raping innocent people for kicks and giggles. Oh, and lots and lots of drugs. Goths, says Goth, are beyond the feelings of guilt and repression that keep normal people in line. God help any 15 year old babybat whose mother sees this movie.

So, what happens? Does sweet, innocent Chrissy stop Goth? Or does she turn to the dark side and become Goth's spooky little sidekick? Do you even care? I'm sure that some of you may think that this film sounds amusing, but trust me, it isn't. It's just bad. Save your money.

I rented this movie expecting to see a portrayal of "Goth culture" in its stereotypical form (e.g. vampires, thrill killings, "embracing the darkness"), and well. . . I was right. However, me being familiar with the Goth scene (which is just music despite the claims of an angst ridden teenager), I was able to find some priceless humor in the movie. The humor doesn't apply to just the Goth scene, but any type of music scene where a large portion of its members try and make themselves out to be elitists and live their lives according to the image of whatever music it is that they're into. Goth ( the movie) can be easily described as The Doom Generation meets Training Day; except instead of the co stars (Chrissy and Boone [what the hell kind of name is that?]) struggling to make the narcotics squad, they're on a quest to be able to truly label themselves Goth, and prove to the main character - who by coincidence is named Goth - that they're not poseurs; which leads to Goth threatening the couple to take part in bad things (things that Goths allegedly do when they're together) by taunting them with the dreaded question: "What's the matter? I thought you guys were Goth?" Of course there are a few twists in this movie, but I can't figure out how to talk about them without giving everything away. It wasn't the best story in the world, but the movie did keep me entertained which is what it's supposed to do, and it had some really good industrial songs by some lesser known bands which I thought was cool. I'll just conclude my review with a few questions I have (and I'm sure you'll have) after seeing this movie: how could this be a movie about Goths if half of the soundtrack is Electronic-Industrial? How did Boone's glass refill itself with Absinthe after he clearly poured it out in the alley? And who in God's name is driving the van?

Once in a while, I like to watch really bad horror movies for a few laughs. Bad as in cheesy -- the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" kind of bad. Upon seeing a few copies of the movie "Goth" sitting on the shelf unrented, I picked it up because the cover and back pointed to "cheesy trying-really-hard-to-be-scene movie that ends up being funny on accident movie." Not so.

"Goth," the star of the movie, is played by what seems like a 15 year old who just bought her entire wardrobe from Hot Topic and allowed her 10 year old sister to apply her makeup with a sharpie along with grandma's Wet and Wild eyeshadow, and also happens to have a southern accent with white-trash appeal. There's also "Chrissy" and "Boone," who are just as ridiculous looking as Goth with a persona to match.

The movie starts out when Chrissy bumps into "Goth" at a club. A club where "Erase" is playing, who sound like a Zeromancer/Korn rip-off. In fact, the entire score is provided by this wonderful 3rd rate nu-mteal band. How Goth. Rozz Williams would be rolling in his grave.

Chrissy later meets "Goth" upstairs who offers her some "white lighting," and proceeds to tell Chrissy that if she were really "Goth" she'd try some. A few minutes later, Chrissy and her boyfriend get into "Goth"s van and go on a little trip with her. The rest is just blasphemy.

The entire movie consists of "Goth" telling Chrissy to embrace the darkness (I kept a mental tally -- she said this more than 15 times in 90 minutes), drugs, orgies, fake blood, and really unconvincing horror scenes from what appears to be filmed by cheap home video camera judging by the horrible angles and constant wobbling. Not to mention horrible acting skills. Low budget? You bet. I'm starting to believe the actors were his family members and neighbors.

I applaud the director for making this movie as entirely stereotypical as possible. Everyone knows that being Goth is about being dark, wearing scribbly eyeliner and lots of black lipstick, doing lots of drugs, and having promiscuous sex!

Being Goth also requires one to want to kill themselves also, and I must admit that I got the urge to do so after half an hour of watching this movie. It was the worst movie I've seen in my entire life and for those of you wondering how bad that could possibly be -- yes, I have seen Mariah Carey's "Glitter," thank you very much.

I love this movie! Yes, it's low (as in no) budget, but it has a lot of dark, black heart. It's less about being "goth" than it is about a girl who is named Goth (Phoebe Dollar from Hell's Highway). Goth is a woman without limits or conscience. I was intrigued by her ability to do anything she pleased without fear or concern. This is a woman who could just as easily kill you as talk to you! I like that in a woman! The couple that Goth kidnaps is in for a hellish ride! So, if you enjoy the bleak world of the unhinged, GOTH should flip your coffin lid!

Seeing this movie in all it's "horror", i.e the acting, the story, made me cringe the first time I watched it. But because it is sooo lame I need to own this movie. To show people what bad movies are made of. Don't hate it because it's bad... LOVE IT because it's sooo bad...

This is a low budget stupid film about a girl who calls herself "Goth"...yes, I'm talking about her name not her favourite type of music. This movie is just pure cheese, horribly written, horribly acted, terrible effects, ....no, it isn't scarry, and it sadly isn't even funny. It's unbearable!!!!!!!!! It's so hard to sit through that it almost seems like the justice department should use this movie as an interrogation tool for criminals. Awful movie. Possibly one of the most worthless pictures ever made.

alright first off, yes this movie was shot with a hand held cam. it was shot in my own and i was in it at one point. they cam rolling into town acting like they were soem big shot holly wood producers asking for extras and i got drug along for the ride, the people in the movie actthat way in real life and it's extreamly sad but hallarious. when i saw the movie, my first thoughts were, this sucks, but i'll give them credit for trying considering there were only three ppl besides the actors involved in making this movie
