As an avid fan of anything trashy, one could feel emboldened and dare to watch not one, not two, but three poorly reviewed films over a stretch of two days. Is it necessary? No. Is it excruciating? Well, that relies firmly on whether or not you enjoy art that confounds and boggles, making you question how it passed several boards of approval before its release. Madame Web Oh, boy.
