good god this was awful... (potential spoilers)


Nearly 2 hours of some bad-tempered, clingy, p***ywhipped illegal immigrant trying to convince some boring Italian monster chick that she should love him. They only show her true monster side like 3 times, the rest is them bantering about nonsense and being that annoyingly boring lovey dovey couple that you never want to hang out with again. Amazing that people will watch this garbage and call it a good movie.

I must admit my mouth was hanging open in shock at how lame this was. I guess that is some form of horror

Finally someone with their wits about them around here. What did you find lame about it?

On the one hand I have to give the movie some credit for being different. I mean I can honestly say I don't think I've seen a horror movie quite like this.

On the other hand it's not really a horror movie because you could swap out the monster angle with a terminal illness and not much would change.

I didn't hate the movie or feel it was a waste of time, it was an interesting take, but I wouldn't recommend it to horror fans because it lacks any sense of danger or consequences. Louise kills a guy and it's completely overlooked. How did Louise stay in human form before her stem cell injections? Are we really supposed to buy that she's just eaten animals in the past?

It would have made for a more interesting dilemma for Evan if she could only eat human flesh, that way he would be forced to either accept that she kills people, help her to secure meals, and/or be in constant fear that she might hulk out and eat him. Would he still think she was the love of is life if that were the case?

Revenge is the most important meal of the day.

The bold sums up my sentiments quite nicely. I really think if he were fearing for his life but loved her and wanted to find a cure for her that would have been much better. But it was literally

angry immigrant dude: "hey we just met and I love you"
boring italian girl: "i'm a monster..I won't hurt you but I'm a monster"
angry immigrant dude: "sweet...wanna go to the museum and enjoy this fine Tuesday evening?"
boring italian girl: "well ok, let me stick this needle in my arm so i don't eat a few cats along the way and get my purse"
angry immigrant dude: "yaay...."

Lucky us that you ain't a screenwriter.

Well you must be fun person to hang around with if you think talking to another person is boring.

What are you talking about? She was quite interesting. Now I would really love to see what "fun" type of a people you usually hang around with, if we assume somebody actually wants to talk with you outside internet.

Isn't that basically the premise to 'Let the Right One In'?

Lol in a basic sense I guess it is, but LTROI was more about friendship and the kid monster needing someone to take care of him/her, whereas this was about someone having a romantic/sexual relationship with the monster. But yeah, had it copied more off of LTROI it might have made for a better movie.

Just to answer one of your questions, she only needed those injections after she started transforming, i.e, after she became pregnant. So when she didn't have those injections, it still shouldn't have been to difficult for her to just stay in hiding until she transformed, or at least that's my theory.

bad breakup?

You should go to a zoo and watch squids or some other animals you fancy. That way you could just see monsters without any bantering about nonsense. I liked it that the movie was more than just a girl being a monster.

Check out When Animals Dream, if you wanna see a movie that is similar in tone (and somewhat in plot), but is far, far superior. It's a Danish horror film that also combines elements of romance and transformation. It's also available on Netflix!


Welcome to Fright Night....for real. 

reply
