Meet the Hollowheads (1989)
Quite possibly the only film that was not made any worse by the involvement of then-unknown Juliette Lewis, Meet the Hollowheads is the nightmarish product of a photographer and a makeup artist who mistook themselves for a screenwriter and a director. You can read all about how this mess came to pass in writer Lisa Morton's production diary, but here's the short version: nobody knew what they were doing, and Lisa Morton is delusional to think this movie might have been good in some alternate universe where producers didn't interfere with movies. This is one of the few movies we can think of that skipped VHS distribution and went straight to bootleg DVD. Bobcat Goldthwait appears and is credited as "Jack Cheese." Lisa Morton, your movie was not good enough for Bobcat Goldthwait to let you use his real name. I don't mean to shame you publicly like this, but DAMMMN.

A rather unnecessarily mean review. I think she made a great effort to do something original and different.

In hindsight, that blurb did have a higher-than-usual ratio of jabs per sentence. But in our defense, we had to watch Meet the Hollowheads, and that was a difficult time for us.
