The Apple (1980)
2/10
A sad attempt to blend mythology and rock music
1 June 2000
I caught this film several times back when I had only one cable movie channel and no VCR. I watched it the first time in total disbelief. Could somebody have actually made a film this bad? On successive viewings I attempted to analyze this film more deeply. On every level it is bad. Really bad. The attempt at depth, by relating the film characters to characters in the bible was laughable. We don't get characters, but caricatures of the people, so one-dimensional that it hurts. The music, stamped out of the music mill, was in no way inspirational, and the story, acting, directing, scripting and everything else about this film was just horrid.

The Archetypes were not. The music was not. This film should not.

Yes, I want to own it on DVD. I have an extensive collection of painfully bad films. Not just Ed Wood "So bad, they are fun" films, but Dreck like "The Apple". Just to remind me that Hollywood can make some REALLY bad mistakes.
