Her Name is Carla

My friends and I sometimes go to a video rental store and try to find the most random videos possible to watch together. Yesterday, while at Hollywood Video, we spent thirty minutes to an hour (a relatively short time for us) perusing the shelves in attempts to find something good. We decided that we wanted to watch a horror film. However, we didn't want to watch a genuinely scary (or gorey) picture, but something so over the top that it is funny.

Last summer we watched Snakes on a Plane together. I have to say that if I had seen it by myself, I would have found it dumb and pointless; when we watched it together, though, it turned out to be a pretty hilarious experience. With my friend Annelise screaming at every other scene and my other friend Mike making fun of the random places where people were bitten, it turned out to be much better than I had previously suspected.

Anyway, yesterday we selected the film Her Name is Carla. It sounded creepy, yet ridiculous, also. After watching the short 90 minute film, I have to say that it was one of the worst things I have ever seen in my live. I was incredibly confused why it was placed in the horror section. Nothing about it was the least bit scary. We decided that it was intended to be shelved with the "whore" movies because of the random nudity and awkward scenes. Perhaps the fact that it contained no quotes praising it on the box would have been a sign that it was not worth watching. While this may be the case, I still enjoying scoping out random movies with my good friends.
