I watch a lot of bad movies, and I mean A LOT. Therefore my view of bad movies is a bit skewed when compared to others. It takes a REALLY bad movie for me to say it actually sucks, so when I do, we are not in the realm of the average movie anymore. This will become the first of my "Movies that Suck" reviews, and they'll be written as I find movies that are so deserving of this honor i can't pass them up. Netflix has made the process of finding these (mostly undesired) films quite a bit easier, and in the coming months and years I will be bringing you these films so you don't have to sit through them yourselves.

For my inaugural quest into this realm of filmdom I bring you "MegaFault," a stirring adventure brought to you by The Asylum, the company behind such gems as "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus," "Transmorphors," and "2012 Doomsday." Translation: you should probably expect more Asylum movies on this list in the future. Just saying. "MegaFault" has the great honor of being one of their few films with a well known cast, starring Brittany Murphy, Bruce Davidson, Eriq La Salle, and Justin Harley. This movie had a distinct possibility of being at least ok. Sadly, this is not the case.

"MegaFault" begins in the mountains of West Virgina where a blasting crew gets the dubious honor of being the first to die in the biggest earthquake the planet Earth has seen since the dawn of man. The film then cuts to Washington, D.C. where we find Brittany Murphy about to do a speech on earthquakes. (Coincidence? Yes.) Then the earthquake hits D.C. (Convenient? Again, yes) Anyway, Murphy's character, Dr. Lane, now must undertake the quest to save the world before the earthquake rips it in half.

I don't think I need to go on any more about the plot. You get it, correct? Horrible science, along with horrid dialog, and an even worse plot puts this movie right up there with Vanilla Ice's singing career. It is one of the worst ideas to come out of the modern age of entertainment. Even though this movie sucked, I have to feel sad for Murphy, knowing her last film released before her death was this pile of trash. Luckily, IMDB reports she has at least two other films coming out later this year.

There are many reasons this movies sucks, and while I can't list them all this should be enough to get your feet wet. So let's start with the megafault itself. The fault is apparently just like a dog. It likes to chase cars. In every scene where the fault was busting open and creating a sink hole, it was chasing a car. This started right at the beginning of the movie. Next we had explosions everywhere. For God's sake, they were driving in the middle of Kansas at one point, and all along the side of the road there were explosions. There is nothing in Kansas, and that was reflected by the scene in the movie.

Since we're speaking of the explosions, if you look close you can see the canisters buried in the dirt. Or, not buried in the dirt; they didn't even bother covering up half of them up. Also, they threw in a little CGI and I'm pretty sure most youtubers do a better job these days. One last rant before I let you go: the make up artists (if you can call them that) who did Murphy's make-up had either only done zombie flicks or really thought the crack whore look was in this season.

I would give this a score on our 5 shield grading system, but...ahh, I don't think so.

Verdict: SUCK
