Zaat

"Whazaat?" "Zaat's a bad movie!"

Changes things up by giving us the monster's POV, but of course does so in one of the most boring ways possible. Pacing is non-existent.

A rich man's Gabriel Byrne stars as a poor man's Swamp Thing in a movie that got everything disastrously wrong.

Really, really, really bad. The kind of movie that makes you wonder about the people who made it, and whether they believed it was good. We got a good laugh near the beginning out of the way the monster attacked the lady by gently swiping at her.

Vague and flabby, but at times weirdly hypnotic like a drunk Tarkovsky. The evil plan wheel of fortune board is surprisingly creepy after a while, it's so sloppy and overstuffed it feels like something you'd find a real killer's home. The ending is quite effective, too.

I thought before watching it that it gonna be like turkish star wars, always so funny bad...but I disappointed a little bit. But it has elements....

Mst3k: 7/10

Remarkably plodding and inept. Dickerson possibly provides the high point in this movie's lameness with both his character and performance.

Remarkably bad in many ways, but also strangely watchable, Zaat works as a time capsule. The ending is fantastic, and the last shot was actually pretty effective in my opinion.

This is a movie where the people who made it didn't understand film. They knew that certan things happen sometimes in movies but they didn't know why, and this movie is entertaining for that reason.

A meandering and half-hearted ripoff.

Notably bizarre for its extensive storytelling from the monster's point of view; as if the Zodiac Killer were a mad scientist obsessed with fish. Like its primitive yet scientifically advanced nihilistic creature the film is a throw back to 50's atomic monsters while telling a modern narrative clearly influenced by the cynicism of post-NotLD. Oddly compelling it's recommendable for a z-grade. [MST3k: The Sci-Fi era boys tackle something more akin to the Joel era and do a fine of job of it too.]

"a 1971 pseudo environmental warning horror film about a scientist (mad, of course) who combines the invasive species, the walking catfish and mankind to create a killer fishman - himself." rofl.

Hall of fame material for bad flicks. Comes around from being unbelievably boring to fascinating in how someone could get so much wrong. Nobody working on this seemed to know how movies are supposed to operate. What gives this an extra bump over similar MST3K-type abominations is its intense focus on Zaat (the slow moving, mute monster we all love) & limited narration to fill the dead air and really help you ponder these terrible decisions.
