Let's be honest...

[deleted]

Yeah, the biggest problem with the movie was that the guy had zero charisma and they had zero chemistry. Even the girl wasn't that interesting to be honest, she was beautiful for sure, but for a two thousand year old person she sure acted and talked like any other twenty-something chick out there. Her age or experience didn't show in anything she did.

Who says she does choose him ?

If by chosing, you mean she loses her immortality to spend a human life with him.

For me, the ending implies that she will not do that, but kill him and move on instead.

And I think deep down he knows that. But he is at peace with it. He is grateful to have found "true love" in a place far away from home and he is OK with dying there and then.

But obviously the end is very open to interpretation. 


When I'm gone I would like something to be named after me. A psychiatric disorder, for example.

Haha, I thought the same thing! I'm so cynical - but when the sun came up and they were together the thought flashed through my mind - they now have to cope with a baby, they are both very young, and it will probably all be over in about 5 years! And she'll be mortal, a single mother, and have a baby!!! One that goes genetically ape*beep* every 20 years. Good luck with that.

It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!

"He's a needy, not incredibly attractive, dork whose really not all that smart who keeps pressing and prodding her to fall in love with him.
He is not charming, and she could do WAY better."

Sounds exactly like me and my wife when I first met her. We've now been married for 17 years! I guess love knows no bounds!

I think he's pretty good-looking, in a boy-next-door way, not a Ken Doll way (which I personally prefer). I didn't think he was needy so much as extremely damaged after losing every single thing and person he cared about (except his one friend, who was a stoner). Evan couldn't even go home. As much as his "lines" seemed silly to you, I found them sincere (and sincerity doesn't always come across as a Shakespearean sonnet). She'd lost everyone she'd cared about too - they bonded over how alone they were. Can you imagine having to discard all of your friends/lovers every twenty years, having to leave your home, always knowing there was an expiration date to your career/education/relationship/residence in a specific town? Their relationship made sense to me. She finally had someone to share her secret with.

But what do I know? I've had the same boyfriend forever, and some of my favorite experiences with him have been making dinner at home or getting tipsy at the local pub. Relationships aren't always epic romance, they're finding someone you can be comfortably silent with. I think she felt she could finally let down her guard. She also said her mother had done the same, so it wasn't unprecedented.

They're coming to get you, Barbara!

Yeah, this is the main reason why I didn't like the film. It was well shot and had good acting, but the writing wasn't quite there. The characters were underdeveloped, and the dialogue was bad at times. They never clearly explained why she was turning into different creatures. She's been alive for 2,000 years, and THIS GUY is the one she falls in love with? They barely even knew each other.


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

You can't decide who you fall in love with. Some women and men fall in love with the poets, the artists, the philosophers. And some, like myself, fall in love with the average joes.

She falls in love with him clearly because he is probably the only person... Ever... Who actually witnessed what she really was and still accepted her and still wanted to be with her and love her forever. She shared absolutely everything about herself with him, the deepest, most disgusting things, and he still loved her.

Who gives a *beep* if he's not poetic or deep? He's a damn good guy, and guys like that are nearly impossible to find.

Troll the respawn, Jeremy.
