The Final Sacrifice

Never was there a better example of a pig's ear being transmuted into a silk purse than this episode of MST3K. The incredible awfulness of "Final Sacrifice" became an enjoyable classic through the machinery set up by comedian Joel Hodgson, and carried on by his successors. Now, nobody expects a student film to be any good, so maybe this movie was an easy target, but as a result director/writer Greidanus has seen his work give people a good laugh and has achieved a measure of immortality, which is nothing to be sneezed at. I'm going to throw a bone to one member of the "Final" crew: I think the photography is pretty good for a student production. Cinematographer Jim Stacy actually brought off some interesting and difficult shots, though he doesn't seem to have followed this as a career.
