Saniy B Watching this film The Apple I wouldn't say I enjoyed it. I don't enjoy cult cinema, but I am giving it a try. This was very hard to watch. It was just a lot going on in one movie. This film gives me opera vibes, I would say this movie had a plot which is rare for me to see in cult cinema so far. There is a couple that is entering the music industry. This music industry is seen to be corrupt. Everything is loud and just all over the place. It's just a lot of weirdness at once. It was too much, but I understand how it attracts the audience. It seems really repetitive, the outfits had a vision but it end up giving low budget. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Mike P This Apple is rotten to the core; so bad it makes Xanadu look like Singin' in the Rain or Jesus Christ Superstar or something. And 1980 was a record low for movie musicals; producing four of the worst musicals ever made, with this, Popeye, Xanadu and Can't Stop the Music all coming out in that same disastrous year. (And let's not forget the wretched Neil Diamond-led Jazz Singer remake)...And of that group this definitely might be the worst; with all it's grotesque, over-sexualized, silver-glitter spandexed costumes; it's cringe-worthy songs and choreography; and it's heavy handed messaging about the evils of the rock industry; and goofy villains like "Mr. Bugaloo".... Like the original apple mentioned in Genesis; it's soul-crushing... It's just gross. A horrible movie which deserves it's bad reputation. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Sarah G Basically what if The Rocky Horror Picture Show was straight. Some of the sets and costumes were pretty amusing. Did enjoy the scene with the dancing riot police. The ending was literal Deus ex Machine. They definitely cut some important exposition towards the end. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Cetx E A reverse "Rocky Horror Picture Show" where self-realisation is evil, and a weird hippy/Christian mix of vague purity is virtuous. What plot that exists only exists to serve the belabored allegory. Amazingly bad. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Peter P Sure, the movie is a mess. The 'hero' is boring and not really likable, but the villain, the diabolical Mr. Boogalow is great, and his gang is also quite fun. The songs are mostly mediocre, but some are still catchy. The settings and costumes makes this still quite entertaining to watch. Recommended for people who like campy musicals and generaly weird movies. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review paxnor b this is one of the most perfect movies of my childhood. that should explain everything. ideal love, good guys, bad guys, happy endings, redemption...it is a fairy tale born from the strung out dregs of post-70's hippies waking up after a better living through chemicals kind of weekend...
