Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

MonsterVision99 The Final Sacrifice, or Quest for the Lost City as my copy claims, it's a 1990 movie that is most known for being featured on MST3K, but this movie it's watchable even without the MST3K crew.The film its one of those "So-bad-it's-good" kind of films, its also quite inspiring in many aspects, it was made with very little money and resources (and it shows), but you can tell that people cared about this little cheesy movie. It makes you want to go out and shoot a low budget schlocky film.Its incredibly flawed, but it has enough heart to keep you interested.

Wizard-8 It may seem a little unfair to critique a movie that was made by a student filmmaker with little money and resources, but even when you view "The Final Sacrifice" with your expectations appropriately lowered, it is all the same a pretty bad movie. I agree with many of the complaints about it. The script has a number of unexplained touches to the story, and the plot moves at a very slow pace for the most part. The action sequences are largely dull and clunky. The movie looks unbelievably cheap, with little in the way of production values. So it's a little incredible then that a little merit can be found here and there. The cheap cinematography, dark and a little out of focus, actually gives the movie a little mood. Occasionally there is some camera-work that's a little impressive. And some of the stunts (which clearly show the actors and not stunt doubles) do impress. Don't get me wrong - this is a VERY bad movie. But I'm saying that it's not totally worthless. And the end results are probably better than if I were given the same unbelievably low budget and limited resources.

MartinHafer If you look at IMDb's infamous Bottom 100 list of the lowest rated films of all time closely, you may just notice that a HUGE number of these films have been featured on "Mystery Science Theater 3000"-- and that is THE reason they've made the list. This does not necessarily mean that these films are the most horrible ones out there and I have been surprised to see that a few of the MST3K films aren't even that horrible. While "The Final Sacrifice" is bad, films like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "The Room" inexplicably never made the list...and should have instead.My verdict for "The Final Sacrifice" is that the film shouldn't be considered for any list for several reasons. While it does suck, the movie was a student film made by some young folks STUDYING to be filmmakers. It also was not released in theaters. Yes, the acting is bad at times, there isn't a lot of plot and the editing, continuity and direction are poor--but so what? It's what it is--a bad student film and nothing more.

Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake) When a disastrously horrible film, the kind that makes you shudder at the thought, the kind that sucks the life out of the room with every minute it plays. . . the one saving grace is that there can always be Mike Nelson, Tom Servo, and Croooow to make it bearable.'The Final Sacrifice' has been well known as one of the worst films ever shown on 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000,' which is saying something for the amount of pathetically bad cinema they've shown on there. The story-ish-type thing focuses on an evil clan of what appears to be Canadian wrestlers trying to take over the world. One major element of their plan is to capture an ancient idol passed down to Troy (Christian Malcolm), a teen who has later befriends the ridiculously named Zap Rowsdower (Bruce J. Mitchell) in an unexcited chase scene. It's up to this moronic pair to keep the idol safe and away from the evil wrestlers.Contrary to popular opinion, in the wide span throughout the past century of horror & sci-fi cinema, 'The Final Sacrifice' really is not the absolute worst, regardless of its reputation. Sure, it's ridiculously written, the acting is horrible, the characters are outrageous, and it makes literally no sense whatsoever, but that's what prevents from being the worst. It actually has something going on, which is a huge benefit for a B-movie like this. It's essentially non-stop action, even if that action is head-scratchingly stupid.Now, that doesn't mean this flick isn't very, very bad. It is. Horrible, even. But it's far from the worst film to ever have graced this Earth. It actually makes sure to have something happen, which viewers should be infinitely grateful for if they've experienced some of the other dregs of the horror/sci-fi genres.Final Verdict: 3/10.
