    Several years ago I was working in food service. A kid walked into the establishment with a shirt that said RED ZONE on it and I thought "Ah. Coleman Francis fan." and then a second later I mentally slapped myself. It was some sort of basketball thing, the kid would have had no reason to know the name Coleman Francis and this show has poisoned my mind.

    This movie EASILY hits all three requirements of a movie that's difficult to watch.
    1) It's dull.
    2) It's depressing.
    3) It's LOW budget.
    It really seems like it was intended to be an unpleasant viewing experience in every way. MST3K handles it perfectly.

      I've considered this topic before, and I think that I've identified some qualities that are endemic to most bad movies featured on MST3K
      1. Hot gobs of driving - at least one or more scene is dragged out with mundane activities like extended phone conversations, people entering and leaving rooms, parking, and of course driving
      2. Liturgical dance - an out of place song and/or dance routine stops the movie dead for at least three to five minutes, usually featuring pretty girls
      3. Sumptuous sets - a majority of the movie takes place in a single depressing location, like an empty stretch of arid scrub land or a poorly light living room.
      4. Stock mileage - archive and file footage is frequently used, usually in place of actual establishing shots
      5. Timing... is... everything - most scenes are incredibly static, shot from one angle, and often without much thought put into blocking. Odd choices in line delivery that are usually made more noticeable by poor ADR.... a soundtrack with only one song....... and.... dialogue....that just.... sort of.... peters out.

      @@rickrussell I would say that these choices are made with contempt for the audience, so much as contempt for the actors. And production staff. And editors. And set designers. Usually because the director or film creator has four pennies, a button, and a piece of string for a budget, has access to a studio about once every other week for an hour, or just thinks they know better than everyone else.

    Coleman Francis' death was as dark and murky as his films: While officially, his death is listed as arteriosclerosis, according to co-producer Anthony Cardoza, he was found one day dead in the back of a station wagon, with a plastic bag around his head and a tube going into his throat (or around his neck, Cardoza never bothered to find out which because they were on the outs at the time.)
