Tested Movies: 'Amazing Bulk, The' vs. Others (Serums, Bizarre Rampage, & Commentary) In the crowded marketplace of cinematic oddities, The Amazing Bulk is a contender that defies easy classification. A strange fusion of 1980s bodybuilding clichés and a plot that could be plucked from a sci-fi B-movie, it promises abs, adrenaline, and a storyline that's truly over-the-top. But does it deliver? Compare it to Serums, a sleek, cerebral thriller that leans into the dystopian allure of black-market biotechnology. Where The Amazing Bulk revels in cheesy one-liners and over-the-top transformations, Serums offers a more calculated dive into the ethics of human enhancement-though its execution is as polished as a glittering lab coat. Then there's Bizarre Rampage, a film that takes "bizarre" to its logical extreme, blending existential dread with a plot that feels like it was written by a sleep-deprived child. It's a wild ride, but one that leaves you questioning whether the director was channeling a demon or simply very invested in the concept of chaos. Lastly, Commentary-a meta-film that features a voiceover dissecting its own narrative, as if the audience were attending a dinner party with a pretentious film critic. It's meta, yes, but also meandering, occasionally veering into self-parody with the subtlety of a neon sign in a haunted house. So, which of these tested movies stands out? The Amazing Bulk might be the most audacious, though its sincerity is hard to ignore. The others, while distinct in their own right, feel like different shades of the same palette-each with its own quirks, but all asking the question: Can a film be so unhinged it becomes its own medium?
