I am so frustrated!! I never leave reviews but I had to for this one. I expected this to be a mix of Warm Bodies and Reinfield. This was not and it makes me so frustrated of the missed potential.
I think every time I think about this movie, I remove one star. It looked so promising! The premise, the trailer, Cole, Gothic horror, Victorian and 80s themes... But it just fails so badly, the jokes of poor taste, the plot, the writing, the morality... the characters' actions don't make sense most of the time...other reviews here explain it better but it was just a mess. I went to watch in on a Tuesday, so tickets were about 4$, I used my points and I ended up paying 0.40$. I want those 0.40 cents back!!! What a waste of time. I wanted to leave so many times during the movie. I should have left. I am giving 3 stars only because the acting was good (mostly), the sets and color palette also. The beginning animated sequence was good. Some cinematography was also good. It's mostly the plot that was bad and unfortunately that is really important in a movie... I sigh every time I think about how bad it is and how good it could have been...
Anyways, please don't watch this. Go watch Warm Bodies or Reinfield instead.
