... View MoreI think the directors were inspired by other movies when they made this but the result is not to well. The main issue is that it follows the same scenes over and over again, the couple is making love, the dead ex-girlfriend mysteriously appears from under the sheet and so on. After one hour I had to stop it and finish the film two days later, it was that boring.Maybe more complex it was better and not so humble with the story, the only good aspect is the acting witch wasn't too bad and Nina's appearances who were creepy, at least for me. Only to watch by fans of the resurrection, blood, tender and horror all this put together in a film and you get Nina Forever.
... View MoreThe work is fresh, unique, and entertaining. It may not have the scope and depth of a great work, but it is certainly good. This is what is good. The photography is guided by an almost nostalgic staging, with the hard shots of a modern view as counterpoint. The sex scenes are so well shot that they are not pornographic, but all the stuff of modern soft porn is there. We are aroused, but the acts are blended with this crazy, complex mix of macabre and psychological challenge that move us away from banal voyeurism to actively dealing with the absurd position of the characters. The staging for the camera is right out of the 40's at times, and posed perfectly for effect. Great camera direction.The actors give enough to make it work, and that says a lot for them, as this is a very tough film. It moves in a space between black comedy and drama, which is a dangerous place to put actors and camera, easy to bog down, go flat, or list from one genre to another. Acting would have to be light, with dramatic effect made by the mise en scene supporting the effort of the players. This can be said of any film, but in this film, it is a critical necessity. The camera gives us absurd without humor or pathos, simply the view expressing the element of the shot. Which leads to...The score. This film could never be what it is without the brilliant sound craft. Score, and sound effects have become an other art form in the digital era, and carry a bigger, more fundamental role in creating motion picture work. This film owes lots to a really brilliant scoring, working precisely with the camera for cinematic affect.This work must be taken as, not a giant, but certainly a shot at form and structure off the path, and done well. Hey, kids, don't try this at home.
... View MoreWell I have the honor to be the first one on IMDb to write a negative review about this piece of garbage. Since there are not much reviews yet, and only positive ones, I guess that most of the reviewers have something to do with the movie. Directly by having participating in it or indirectly by knowing somebody that participated in it. Because honestly you can't tell me this is a good movie. I wonder what the writer was thinking when he wrote this story. He must have been under influence of a nasty drug or he's just a lousy writer. I'll go for option two. The actors are okay except for Fiona O'Shaughnessy. She's incredibly annoying in her role as Nina. I've suffered to watch this wannabe movie until the end. Absolutely not a comedy nor a horror movie. It's just a waste of your time. Well at least it was for me.
... View MoreThe premise of this movie makes no sense; the ghost of a man's ex-girlfriend shows up, bloody and battered from the accident that caused her death, every time he has sex. It's absurd, and entirely creepy, if it weren't for how hilarious the ghost of the dead ex-girlfriend (Nina), is. Every line out of her mouth comes of with such a dark and dry wit, indicative of a very British humor, and her appearance broke up some of the more serious parts of the movie with some levity. Th acting is top notch, the SFX is disgustingly well done, and the music is amazing. I just don't think that the parts of the film make for an effective whole. As the movie went on, I started to wonder, "But, why?". Why is she haunting her ex? Did he do something to her that warranted it? Is she taking revenge on him for some reason? It just doesn't come together as well as I would have liked, but the individual parts sure were entertaining. One of the most absurd films I have seen in a long time. Every time I think that all topics have been covered in film, someone comes along and does something wholly original. This is definitely one of those times. Watch this film to just revel in the crazy.
