"Bad" doesn't cover it but I can't seem to use any other word!

I've been a movie lover all my life yet this is the first time I've posted an IMDB review. I had to. I feel like I have a moral duty to warn all unsuspecting and potential viewers not to watch this film. I honestly think we're being played with because no green lit film could be this bad...and I KNOW what a bad film is but this film? Either it's a blatant attempt to insult us or mass gas light us. I had to resist the urge to check reviews after 20 mins in. After an hour (& having no way to reverse time) I had to cut my losses & submit to the experience; I was genuinely curious & just decided to just commit to seeing how much worse it was going to get. With every second it gets worse. It's far worse than ANY 'so bad it's good film' (which I've grown to love by the way!). Sorry I can't be more descriptive - I'm genuinely traumatised by the possible motives of the production team and what this might mean for film in general if this isn't a joke. Edit: I've changed my mind. Please, please PLEASE watch this film. Then maybe you'll understand my dilemma. It's worryingly bad folks....on ALL levels.....it's really really bad.
