Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

fedor8 Some decrepit old ghost/vampire lady-thingy impersonating a sexy young dyevochka is really a moth, or actually 1000s of moths (we're made out of atoms, she of moths), and she is like really old and stuff and likes to kill young girls for fun and she's like such a filthy old pervert that she even has sex with one of them, which is technically pedo territory, right? But you can't arrest moths for sexual molestation, can you?Anyway, Lily Cole Moth has her eye on killing Sarah Bolger Non-Moth - that's her ultimate goal, and one which Sarah figures out only at the end of the movie, way way way long after even the dumbest of us dumb viewers had already figured it out an hour earlier. So if Lily Moth wanted to kill Sarah all along, why did she wait so long and kill several people who aren't Sarah Bolger? No, Rachel Klein the author doesn't know and neither does Mary Harron the director. They don't bother to tell us WHY Lily came to that school to kill random people, nor why moths hate water (do they?), nor why moths are into same-sex activity. (If moths were inclined that way, wouldn't there be a LOT less of them?)In fact, there's a strong whiff of lesbianism permeating the entire movie which makes me suspect that either the director or the author are leaning that way. They even portray the only heterosexual encounter in the movie - the actual intercourse - as painful and unpleasant.And those of you who think that your patience will be rewarded with a grand finale Sarah vs Moth Lily, you're sadly mistaken, because Sarah sneaks up to Moth Lady real easy, sets her on fire, kills her, and that's pretty much it, and the whole movie was slow for no reason and it looked like a build up to a harrowing finale (which turned out to fizzle like a tiny firecracker) and quite predictable and Lily is far too tall for these small girls to be playing anyone but Godzilla or a ginger King Kong, and the make-up department should be hung for turning her into a brunette and giving her a goofy Goth-chick makeover - as if all mysterious vampire moth ladies are into Goth fashion - which made her look unattractive which is quite a feat because she's actually quite pretty (as is Sarah), and this movie is sort of like a stylized version of a lesbian slasher flick and there's not much more else to say about this mediocrity.

SnoopyStyle Rebecca (Sarah Bolger) is 16 year old and still haunted by her father's suicide. Her best friend is her roommate Lucy (Sarah Gadon) at her boarding school. Ernessa Block (Lily Cole) is the new girl and she befriends Lucy to the dismay of Rebecca. The mysterious new girl somehow got friend Charley (Valerie Tian) expelled. After Rebecca and Dora (Melissa Farman) witness Ernessa do something supernatural, Dora is later found dead falling off a ledge. There is also a new teacher Mr. Davies (Scott Speedman) at the school.This could have been a creepy Gothic horror movie. Mary Harron who made 'American Psycho' still pose the same problem to me as before. Her sparse style really stripes away the tension. She doesn't elevate the material and there is some good material here. More importantly, there are some great actors here trying their best. However, the movie never takes off. There is just a lack of tension. There is a lack of visual style. This is a bland execution. The female melodrama promises something that is never emotionally delivered. It's potentially an interesting horror but Harron doesn't know how to make one. Of course, this one doesn't have Christian Bale.

CloverCandy This movie is slow, predictable, & not in the least bit scary. It feels like a made for TV movie. Yet I still kind of enjoyed it! Lily Coles performance alone makes this movie worth watching. She's perfect in her part as the creepy new girl. The other lead actress isn't bad either. When it was over, there were still a couple of questions left unanswered. A really good movie will leave you turning things around in your head but in this case, once the main question is answered you just really don't care. In the end, not something to watch if you're in the mood for a good scare but not a total waste of time. I would rather see a movie like this one than a bloody gorefest with a crappy plot any day.

GL84 Going back to their boarding school for a new semester, a young girl finds that her best friend has fallen under the spell of a seductive newcomer and begins acting strangely under her spell while a rash of murders on campus point out the real truth behind the new student.This was a pretty disappointing and eventually not that worthwhile vampire effort that has precious little going for it. The main factor going against it is the whole drama approach, both in tone and content, as the fact that the film's so slow to get anything going it's barely able to showcase anything because it's got the wrong pace to do that with. While the romance and seduction of the student is nice, it's got the wrong victim as the lead is more damaged than the friend and is therefore more susceptible to the charms and advances, and moreso it doesn't show anything at all despite being set at an all-girls' boarding school as the whole romance takes place off-camera or behind closed doors. The rash of murders are never seen committed or raise anything for the students, and the whole subplot comes off as sloppy. It does have a few good moments, as there's some great imagery in the finale before their finale battle, and the fact that this is one of the cleverest ways to play out a book adaptation without hitting it on the head saying their doing so is pretty clever, but overall this one is just not that worthwhile.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Nudity and drug use.
