It’s not often that the Bristol Bad Film Club brings us a recent release, but this bizarro, self-funded 2018 indie Christian surfer flick has been delighting audiences on the late night circuit and is earning a reputation as the new The Room. Superficially, it’s an uplifting drama about a nipper (director and star Douglas Burke’s real-life son, Sage) overcoming his trauma after a surfing accident, but it swftly begins to get hilariously mystical on our asses.
As Variety‘s suitably aghast reviewer remarked: “It is the sort of movie that sustains interest from scene to scene only because you’re constantly wondering whether it could possibly get any worse. In this regard, it seldom disappoints.”
