The Land of College Prophets

Where to start? Inept and nonsensical virtually from minute one, The Land of College Prophets is an excruciating, thoroughly interminable piece of work that will undoubtedly test the patience of even the most seasoned moviegoer. There is absolutely nothing here that works, and it’s impossible not to wonder just what the filmmakers originally set out to do (the final product can’t possibly bear any resemblance to their intent). The utterly incoherent plot has something to do with a cadre of students/warriors who must save their campus from the dastardly Third Reich Jones. It’s clear right off the bat that the film is going for a silly, tongue-in-cheek sort of vibe, but without any compelling characters or a storyline worth following, it doesn’t take long for boredom to set in. The relentlessly meaningless dialogue and narration certainly doesn’t help matters, nor does the almost complete lack of competent performances. The bottom line is that The Land of College Prophets is an inane and pointless mess, one that deserves to sink back into the obscurity from which it emerged.
