Shortcut

Normally i avoid horror movies with teen leads. This film has solidified my aversion. Its actually worse than a lot of teen horror films. Characters go from scared s&!tless to goofing around whithout a care in minutes. Besides the absolute idiot choices that have no basic reality even for dumb teens.

Jeepers Creepers italian edition. You tried - but no.

The kids acting wasn't bad, but differently not realistic for situation. Story tried so hard to be a coming of age story it missed opportunities to do that. Strange flash backs. Unrealistic choices made by characters.

Loved: The humor Some of the character development, but could have done more. Hated: characters make unrealistic decisions The ending was incredibly cheesy The monster became very un-scary as the film went on, shown too often. A decent one time watch for most

I liked the actors. The British teen-agers seem more like real people, than the often smarmy, precocious teens often portrayed in US movies. I found the first half of the movie interesting and well photographed. When the monster showed up, it seemed like a different movie, which didn't seem congruous and was poorly thought out. I found the second half of the movie poorly conceived and very weird, but not in a good way.
