Difficult to watch, both because of the subject matter and the nauseating, gyroscopic camerawork, and offers little reward for persevering.

I will not say "Climax" is the worst movie of the year because as much as I go to the movies I won't see every movie but I can say right now in March that it is the worst movie of the year that I will see!

I was set for a really amazing dance film.

To crazy, bloody, violent scenes, many filmed upside down, a body set on fire and you never know what happens to her let alone be able to distinguish who is who. The film is 96 minutes and I suggest, if you don't walk out at the 30-minute point, you drop some acid and, maybe, just maybe, you will get through the next 68 minutes of the movie.

A dance group are gathered after a practice session they decide to get drunk, the punch is spiked, they pair up and gossip about sex, then everyone goes mental and i don't think anyone could enjoy watching their various bad trips. There's noA dance group are gathered after a practice session they decide to get drunk, the punch is spiked, they pair up and gossip about sex, then everyone goes mental and i don't think anyone could enjoy watching their various bad trips. There's no moral to the story, no reason given. A few end up dead. Save yourself some time and watch a dance track on you tube for three minutes.… Expand
