#95 Addiction (2004)

aka "Levottomat 3"or "Intimacy 2"
100 Minutes









Woah, look at those alternative titles! Is this a start of a trilogy, sequel, or a second sequel?
Well, it's none of the above. In 2000 a Finnish film called Levottomat (Restless) saw the light of day and was some what of a hit and it spawned two sequels that had nothing to do with each other. Sort of like Halloween 3, or Troll 2 or Cyborg Cop 3. Except those movies are enjoyable nonetheless and this is not.

What a surprise
This is the second erotic drama on this list after 9 1/2 weeks and what do they have in common? Nothing fucking happens. Or nothing but fucking happens.
Addiction tries to tell a compelling story of a career woman fucking (literally) her life up as she's fighting against her sex addiction. 
This has been done many times before, and granted, it's not the worst premise in the world. What brings this movie down is that it's slow as shit, unerotic (lots and lots of man ass) and it is way overlong. This would have made a decent short film but at 100 mins it is just cruel. 
The only source of amusement I got was the dialogue, which was hilariously awful. It's like the actors were reading off of cue cards all the time. The pronunciation and pacing of the sentences was unnatural, almost robot like. Of course this is evident only to those who understand the language.

So this was boring, pointless and only sometimes unintentionally funny, but still way better than some of the previous ones. 
That's six movies down and the shittiness is getting to me. I'm starting to have nightmares of these crapfests. Maybe I'll sidetrack every now and then in the future, you know, watch a bad movie that is awesome. That should keep me sane a little longer.

  2. #12 Kis Vuk is also Hungarian I believe, heard great thing about that too :P
    You're definitely having more fun, no doubt about it! But still, finding these shitty movies has proven more difficult than watching them.

  3. Oh yeah, it is Hungarian. There was a cartoon called Vuk (who is a fox) a long time ago, which was epic and this is the '2nd part'...yeah very shitty...I didn't even dare to watch it.
    But please don't judge Hungarian movies, we have some very good ones, too :)
    How can you find these movies? Personally, a month ago I could not find Quiz Show with normal english dub, although I am very good at searching anything on the web.
    I can only imagine how hard it could be for you :)

  4. Yeah Taxidermia is good, I suggest you to watch Kontrol as well, after you finish with the shitty movies :)
    I think it would be a good idea to rate your films here at the end of the summary, even if 70-80% of them would be 1. and when you finished you should make your Top 5 shitty movies list. :)
