There are some movies that make you want your money back. Then there are some that are so bad that you want your time back. Lost Highway was a movie that made me want my time back. It was so esoteric that I felt like I might as well have watched a four hour DVD of some kid’s kaleidoscope. It was the audio/visual version of a Stephen O'Malley CD. This movie “Live Freaky! Die Freaky!” was not near as good as any of that. Ok, so you have a bunch of pop punk icons like Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Davey Havok of AFI, Tim Armstrong of Rancid, Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, and many more all involved in the worst re-telling of the Charles Manson story in history. It’s so bad that I can’t tell if it is supposed to be a parody or homage. Many have compared this to Team America: World Police, but this thing isn’t even in the same solar system as that one. The writing is horrid and the whole thing drags from the opening credits to the closing credits. I was bored with this thing only seconds into it (seriously, it was that bad). The stop motion is as fluid as ice cold steel. I’ve seen better looking clay figures in an elementary school art show. The production was worse then the late 80’s sitcom Small Wonder.

The thing I wonder most about this thing is what the fuck punkers are doing covering the hippie tale of Helter Skelter! Ok, sure these people are poser punk, but they should at least know that punkers are nothing like hippies, right? Maybe I have this all wrong and this was making fun of hippies? That is the problem! This thing is done so bad I can’t tell. Now there are a bunch of fanboys who are trying to defend this thing, but notice that every review has either a full five star ratting or one star. Those people also call the bands involved punk, so that shows how little they know. I have seen this thing called shocking. I have been more shocked by Saturday morning cartoons. Yes, there are some graphic sex scenes, but they are done so badly that any one with any kind of an internet connection will be pretty damn unimpressed. Sure there is blood and gore, but it’s goddamn clay figures for fucks sake! Are you so sad and pathetic that badly done clay figures having sex and killing each other impress you? Are you really that pathetic?

Who should buy this thing? No one. Seriously, do not watch this. Do not rent this. Do not download it for free from the internet. Do not borrow it from a friend that downloaded it from the internet. There is no one whose time is so worthless that it should be wasted on this pile of shit. Don’t even watch it out of morbid curiosity. If you want to waste time doing that, at least waste it with something like Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. That at least will give you a few laughs. This did not Rock My Monkey in any way shape or form. Henry Rollins should be ashamed.
