Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A low-budget, weird, sci-fi/horror film, that remains obscure for a good reason--it stinks. Rated: C- Feb 27, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This movie has, hands down, won our office worst movie ever made list. We pass it around to share with others the atrocity that is The Jar. I wish I could rate it higher for that inside joke alone, but it is really bad. Really bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member very creepy!!! and in your dreams!!!! a cool movie to watch on HALLOWEEN;) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A very strange exercise in surrealism as a man is possessed by a demon in a jar. I didn't know what was going on most of the time, but it was entertaining, nonetheless. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Nonsensical endeavour has accident victim leaving behind a jar in a man's apartment. Persistent psychological struggles ensue, to the point he is unable to properly react to the friendly advances of the attractive neighbour lady on the floor. It's all because of that thing in the jar... it just won't stop staring at him. Film drags on and then ends abruptly without any closure. Will be a struggle for anyone not conditioned for this type of low budget cinema. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A man in a minor car crash gets left with a jar with a mysterious little monster in it that drives him insane. Low budget offering provides a promising start but then closed the lid on my interest with too many halucinations.
