Don’t take the cover/jacket/one sheet to seriously for this one. Rhys and Bret do not use any tools of the sort and Jemaine is only in the very beginning of the film. Also sadly no two people are attached via the waist.
Anyways, when I first saw the trailer I was like “hmm, it sucks that ‘The Flight of the Conchords’ guys got dragged into this steamer. The entire film looked unreasonably bad and uninteresting. But then at like 2:00 a.m. my mind was hit by a cluster f**k of a good film.
I said Jemaine was only in the beginning, well the beginning was great. It really showed how the main characters were kind of deserving of what they got (like in a ‘Drag Me To Hell’ sort of way). And you may feel sorry for the guy, hell I would especially if Rhys (what role he had in this was superb, kind of a silly guy like in ‘The Boat That Rocked/Pirate Radio’) was a real doctor. Then we meet Bret’s character (the charming but rather bumbling Dr. Cruise) as well as Susie’s evil nurse (such an awkwardly dynamic one). And of course, the love interest (hoochiewowa).
After you get a feel for them all, the writers throw all this weird crap at you like visions and specters and the story behind it is pretty awesome. It’s actually like a great throw-back to B&W movies that have a sort of Dark & Mystryous nature about them. And they even have these really bad CGI ghosty/spirity/aforementioned spectery things that kind of add to the film in their own bizarre way, like the sex scene, I laughed (and now readers from there your imaginations may run wild).
The flick even featured some fairly well placed plot twists and two excellent scenes of gore, and if you don’t think they’re that excellent or fairly well placed, then shove it up your ass.
For a first attempt (I’m pretty sure in stating that anyways) at horror, if not a black-comedy, I’d say it’s a definite buy, download, or rent or whatever you crazy kids do these days.
Love,
