Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter

This is a weird movie, it isn't a horror but it do says what the title says, it is a revenge by a reporter being so-called killed but he survives the toxic waist and returns as a deformed human, does it rings a bell, Toxic Avenger anyone? The two main leads, David Scammell and Kathryn Boese are unknown actors and disappeared in obscurity after this flick as almost all actors in this feature. I said it before, it isn't a horror even as the sleeve shows gore. It is more a comedy with a lot of one-liners and funny situations. But the movie became hunted down due the director Craig Pryce better known for so many series he directed, this was his first full feature. It do contains a lot of really good effects and some are indeed nasty and gory. A reason why some horror aficionado's do hunt for this rather easy to find on PAL and NTSC vid.

After being thrown in a pool of toxic waste the reporter named Mike Wave mutates into radioactive creature hellbent on getting revenge."Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter" by Craig Pryce is an extremely cheesy horror spoof which won Best Independent Theatrical Feature at the 1990 Houston Film Festival.The film was released in almost exactly the same year as Sam Raimi's more serious "Darkman".There is plenty of cheese in "Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter" plus some crude sexual jokes.The plot is extremely silly and the image of Mike urinating radioactive waste into the woman's bathtub is simply unforgettable.If you are into Troma's movies give this trashy junk a look.6 reporters out of 10.The film was shot in Toronto.

What a rare find this is! A newspaper reporter goes to a nuclear power plant only to get dumped into a pool of contaminated radioactive waste by sleazy executive ^~$holes. He becomes an ugly flesh-faced innocent...reporter...who looks like Freddy Krueger and trying to convince his girlfriend Richelle that's he's him! He has a unique way to kill...with his face! (???) That's right, another independent film by a nut who copied off certain movies to make a lame-brained spoof of horror movies we have all grown to love. And there's much more to describe the horrifically bad taste. One can't fully understand the awful acting and dumb dialogue as well as the plain colored sets along with the shades and hues of blue. As trying to be hilarious, it's willing to be boring. The character Richelle does a decent job at acting in despair and grief up to the bitter end, and the print looks nice, but what's the meaning of R. OF THE R. R.? Virtually none! It's meaningless in all entirety! Rare movies like this are worth a look, including a bizarre skateboard-psycho network movie I saw called SHREDDER ORPHEUS, but if you're planning on forking tons of dough over that hard-to-find movie, seek financial help. Don't complain about getting cheated over it if you had already spent your hard-earned $80 worth!

This film could be enjoyed by viewers who are 10 and older. Revenge Of The Radioactive Reporter contains enough gore and humor to be OK for the pre-teen and teen late night get-togethers. It is a party film, so don't expect any real acting nor any great scripts nor any great film. I was surprised though, that since I like horror films, that I liked this silly movie. Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter kept my interests enough without having to be glued to my seat. In fact, if you leave and come back, you miss nothing. The movie does contain some decent effects as well as some gore. The Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter does deliver entertainment for those in a silly mood -- there is where this horror film meets its expectations. Popcorn and pizza all around. Fun, smiles, and scares are in this film. I give two thumbs up.

This is quite possibly the worst movie ever made. I was up late last night watching movies and came across this piece of filth. This movie is like a train wreck, you just can't look away but are also disgusted at the same time. The actors are horrible! The little brother in the movie apparently grew up to write Cabin Fever, he should stick to writing and away from acting. The fact that this was missed by the Razzies is truly sad. I don't mind a cheesy movie, I was a big fan the Toxic Avenger flick, but this is just a horrible knockoff. This movie should be banned. I had to sleep on it before I could sit down the truly remark on this movie. Now that I am cooled off, I can objectivly state that this very well may be the worst movie ever. Even worse than Rollerball.

Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter enters in that category of movies that are so awfully bad, they are incredibly funny... Everything about this movie is absolutely ridiculous, starting with the title and ending with the ridiculous ending. Sometimes, the script is so incoherent you can't follow the story, which is so stupid you will want to cry... The acting doesn't help either. The actors deliver their (ridiculous) lines with the conviction of a dead hamster(that's not a lot). Some of the scenes are incredibly weird, including the scenes where the radioactive reporter(can you imagine such a stupid idea as a RADIOACTIVE REPORTER???) dreams about some kind of freak show... Was their a point to this sequence? The scenario makes absolutely no sense. Also, the special effects(or, to quote Hardware Wars, the special defects) are very cheap... The elephant man is one of the most ridiculous costumes in movie history, and that radioactive reporter isn't very convincing either. A lack of suspense where there is supposed to be some is also remarkable... How could somebody have made such a bad movie while trying to be serious is absolutely mind-boggling... This movie is one of the worst ever... 5% from a serious point of view, 100% from the cheese-o-meter's point of view...
