Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Stevieboy666 After a period of grief and attempted suicide Robb falls in love with a co-worker Holly - trouble is his dead ex-girlfriend Nina will not leave them alone! This was described in my TV guide as a gory horror comedy but in fact it is more than that. It is very much a tale of love and loss, a black romantic comedy but with some gory horror thrown in. Some horror fans may find it too slow, or boring, but it's not - provided the viewers doesn't expect an all-out horror flick. I felt that all the actors performed well, but Abigail Hardingham as Holly stood out as the best, full credit to her. Nina appears, back from the dead, when Rob and Holly engage in sex, and there is a lot of it here. Non-British viewers may struggle with some of the dry humour & if the end needs some explanation then there is a thorough synopsis here on IMDB.
Paul Magne Haakonsen "Nina Forever" starts out a bit chaotic, but it sets a pretty good mood for the movie.However, that mood was quickly gunned down by the utter boredom that trailed along with this movie. I managed to get maybe just about 30 minutes into the movie before I had to give up out of sheer and utter boredom. I managed to get to the part where Nina returned from the dead for the second time, then I just couldn't take it anymore.The story is about Nina, who dies in a traffic accident, leaving her boyfriend Rob on the brink of suicide and in a very dark place. When he does manage to find a shimmer of hope in the form of colleague Holly from the supermarket, Nina returns from the grave to interfere whenever they are being intimate.What killed off my interest in "Nina Forever" was the excessive focus on sex in the about 30 minutes or so that I managed to watch of this ordeal of a movie. It was just too much, and it wasn't helping the movie in any bit. Quite the contrary actually, it was a cumbersome anchor dragging the movie down.I didn't care one bit for the characters in the movie, as they were essentially as interesting as wet cardboard. Nor can I claim to find much of any interest in the storyline. Sure, the synopsis sounded like this could actually be a fun movie to watch. But it was just painfully killed off by the focus on sex and directors Ben Blaine's and Chris Blaine's urge to show nudity on the screen.Sure, I had expected this to be a comedy of sorts, and perhaps one that would bring zombies into the frame. But it just wasn't that at all.I am not going to bother with a second trip to finish "Nina Forever", because it just didn't appeal to anything for me. And I am rating it a mere three out of ten stars, given the fact that it had good camera work, good cinematography and good editing. The rest, nah, not so much...
adi_2002 I 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.
johnklem A fabulous concept, lots of problems but well worth an hour and a half of your life. For a first film, this is awesome. Its flaws are all of inexperience - an over-egged script and some logical but emotionally unconvincing physicalisations of the dead girlfriend. Its strengths are of original talent, a cast that's much better than the budget would suggest and an utterly unique point of view. One of the strengths of the movie is the actress who plays the living girlfriend. She could be Ruth Wilson's sibling and brings a similar level of interest to the most ordinary moments. The rest of the film is adequate for the purpose - which is exactly what it needs to be. Cinematography and locations are unobtrusive and allow the concept room to breathe. I hope the filmmakers draw the right conclusions and move onwards and upwards. Hey guys, if you're ever in Los Angeles. look me up!
