Viewing Notes
Trailer for this was on the Argento Dracula disc (IFC Midnight) and it looked interesting so I requested from library. Plus it’s a Marina de Van flick and she’s done some crazy shit. I believe this is the last film she’s directed. Curious why she’s no longer making movies.
These IFC Midnight dvds are a drag; have to skip thru each trailer in the launch, can’t fast forward or go direct to menu.
Handsome looking film w/good set & sound design but the story didn’t grab me (despite predating BRIGHTBURN by a few years). This superpowered evil girl just kills everyone in her way. That’s it. That’s the story. The only slight intrigue is wondering how long those adults around her will survive before she destroys them. So not a lot going for it.
