V for Vengeance

From the poster alone you could basically guess what you're going to get from this film, so hating it for living up to that expectation is sort of pointless. You don't go eating ice-cream when you're lactose intolerant then give the brand a bad review, now do you? So with that in mind, I watched this film and thought it was okay. I got a few laughs and actual effort seemed to be put into this work. It was fine for what it is and that's all there is to it.

Some things in life just don't mix. And two of those things are horror and comedy. This tries, and fails on both levels.

The wooden stakes are actually less wooden than the acting. Apart from the fish who out acted everyone in the cast. Some people say that the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer film was bad, but this makes it look positively Shakespearean!

I'm desperately trying to think of one good thing about this film. But when the best part of watching it was the end credits starting, it's fairly obvious that there's nothing good about it.

Unless you like films with bad acting, a weak script, a complete lack of direction, and losing around 90 minutes of precious life, you should probably avoid this film at all costs!

The most frightening thing about this film is that films this bad tend to become franchises. And we all know what that means..... 😱

Start with a new mythos for vampires without any explanation of this. Highlight the "sexy" female vampire trope. Add in poorly choreographed and executed "wu shu (?)" Martial arts. Somehow take lame daddy joke style but twist it into girl power ideas. Add all the obvious plot twists that have been beaten to death in just about every vampire movie. Then end with the idea that more is to come (Please No!).

I gave this movie a three as the likeability if the three sisters was decent enough that I actually watched the entire film. But otherwise there isn't much joy in watching the film. It just sits heavy with its lameness.

I went into this expecting very little and it still managed to disappoint.

The daytime vampire thing sucked (pun intended) when twilight did it and is no different here. The film is about as predictsble as a train going down a single track. By 20 minutes in you can start to figure out where it's going and by 40 minutes there'll be no guess work left.

The second star was purely because the action sequences at least flowed reasonably well, nothing outstanding, but not completely dreadful either. Nothing great to say about the acting. The girls just came across as potty mouthed teenagers. It's like they tried to give them depth and a backstory but nothing felt like it mattered.

My favourite part about the film was giving it a thumbs down on Netflix.

This movie had one of most generic dialogues and story line as bland as a single slice of bread and water. You will find yourself wondering how is it even possible to make something so lame for most part of the movie.

That being said it is so terrible that at times actually becomes entertaining and if vampire movies are your thing you still might enjoy it in it's own grotesque way much like music made with broken and out of tune instruments or art made out of garbage.

But myself I can't in good conscience rate it more than 1/10 as this is the most one dimensional and badly written film I know.
