F you Eve. It's not bad enough you ate the apple, but now you "inspired" something even worse.Never heard of this? Don't worry; I'm sure the cast and crew hope you never will find out about it. And that's sad. As bad as this was, and it was TERRIBLE, it does look like the cast and crew did put their heart into it. For that, I, sadly, have to raise my rating from the easy 1/10 stars to 2/10 stars. But, don't be fooled; this should never be seen. Or heard.Set in the far-distance/past 1994, the world is run by the obvious devil and his gay entourage. Sign up with him, pay 50% of your "earnings," and, I guess, you'll live? And sing. Sing galore. But, wait! Alphie, the Adam of the story, wants to save his love from the evil crutches and……and I spent too much time on this already. It's an old and obvious plot even for 1980 and contains both awful songs and sets and images from the 60s despite being set in the 90s. Maybe they thought it'd all come back again. Let's hope not.True, I'm not a fan of musicals, and this didn't help much. Don't see this, please don't. For the love of all Electric Boogalow, heed my warning.***Final thoughts: Why did I watch it? Funny you shouldn't ask. I had two movies to catch up to eventually listen to that awesome bad movie podcast, How Did This Get Made? This one and Streets of Fire and since that one was first, I plugged that title into my Amazon Prime account. First hit: The Apple. Initially, I thought the title had changed, but upon research I learned it hadn't and though it was weird this would pop up instead of Streets of Fire, this was the other one I needed to see. So…what…the…hell.

Other than the kitsch factor of this film, there is nothing whatsoever to recommend it. The acting is horrible; the plot doesn't make sense; the songs are lousy and poorly performed; the sets are not even very good (mainly it was just filmed on location in office buildings in Germany).I think that the film-makers were influenced by the recent Bee Gees musical, "SGT Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." That "The Apple" compares unfavorably to it, should speak volumes -- just look at the reviews for "SGT Pepper." They were clearly going for some kind of biblical analogy: Innocents are tempted by the evil record company executive, and the woman succumbs to temptation. That's about as far as they could stretch the metaphor, though. The rest of the movie is about how the man tries to get the woman back, and how they are both taken in by a nomadic tribe of hippies, before God eventually rescues everybody and takes then away to populate a new planet. No, really, that's how it ends.RiffTrax has recently done of riff of this movie. I tried watching it once without the riff, and could only get about 10 minutes into it. RiffTrax makes it much more watchable, but it is still a chore.

I happened to catch this movie on first run while I was going to college. I'm a huge fan of Phantom of the Paradise (1974) and thought this movie was going to be similar. Simply put, this is the worst movie I have ever seen. To date it's the only movie I've walked out of (the reason I still remember it 26 years later). I wasn't alone in my disgust either, after my girlfriend and I left the theater and were waiting for friends who had gone to another movie in the same complex, a number of other people also exited the theater.The previous reviewer describes the movie quite well. However I would add that it's a ridiculous and disturbing view of the future that thankfully never came close to reality.Hopefully the master has turned to dust and the world will be spared from a DVD release.
