Tonight She Comes

This is a really strange flick, and not in part of the story but what the production tried to do is to add all clichés of the horror genre into one flick. it's all there, stupid characters, horny chicks, nudity (a lot), camping, supernatural stuff, satanism and a bit of slasher.

Does it work, not at all. It starts really good and even a bit gory but once the opening credits roll over your screen this flick goes downhill with stupid situations. It takes too long before the wicked naked girl comes in and even that is so strange, laying naked in the woods no reason at all, being urinated and still doesn't move and suddenly she comes alive. From there that naked girl is out for some nasty killings but even there it's all strange because she can glow, you know, it doesn't work but still I kept looking to see what it's all about and I must say, the further this flick goes the stranger things are happening like used tampons being cursed and all of that. And towards the end there are a few references to old classics like a girl in a sleeping bag being squashed against a tree (Friday the 13th part 7 anyone) or eyes being crushed with thumps and I can go on.

So I think you get it, it's not for everyone but if you can stand the first half then you will see, still weird, a gory flick. But be advised, it's not a good flick after all.

This movie was all over the place. It seemed to have no plot. It had two gross scenes that stood out. That's about it. I still don't know what was happening. But ok to pass the time. There was so much that could have been done with this.

Right from the start we're told this must be played loud as hell and then 70's grindhouse style titles are splashed on the screen. This tells me this flick is gonna rock.

Some friends and the mailman, get mixed up in a weird devil cult ritual with the local wackos. Things get very bad.

They come through on the soundtrack with the loud synthesizer type music and keep the violence gory. The effects were awesome with plenty of blood. They even use a totally naked woman smeared in blood as the demonic vessel who walks around taking peoples lives. So you'll have to put up with that for most of the film.

One aspect of the film you'll like is how they try and break every taboo imaginable just for shock value. For example the two girls are enjoying a bottle of beer as they drive down the road and a guy masturbates in the back seat of a mail vehicle putting the result all over the mail. This stuff happens in the first four minutes, so you know what you're in for. The end was cut short but overall a fast paced, kick ass flick. If you enjoyed Evil Dead this one will be right up your alley.

6 donations of period blood for the blood drinking ritual out of 10.

I have never been happier to see cast members die than in this trash film. Everyone is obnoxious and hipster to the nth degree. Just an annoying mess of poorly written and executed story. Ohh and the pseudo synthpop it should have died too.

I don't usually write reviews about films that I didn't like, but in this case I had such a nasty reaction to it, I thought I should come here and leave some of my impressions...

I really DO like the premise. It's very rare to see a truly creepy modern 'Devil Cult' film that is really effective, so I was honestly hopeful. I also really did like the Retro electronic score too. BUT... to me anyway, whenever film makers, despite a good premise or even some nice stylistic touches, like the soundtrack, immediately dive into the lowest, mind-numbingly STUPID behaviour and dialog, then they lose me right away. ANY Horror film where they immediately depict the young people as Oh-So-Excruciatingly-Hip with their bass level crude remarks, style, and manner, to me that honestly completely ruins whatever really GOOD story or any potential that a film may have. I like the review above by the fellow from New Zealand. He didn't really quite know what he just saw or if he really liked it, or if he could recommend it to others. He thought it was 'original', but not much else.

I think the reason why I feel such a strong negative reaction to this movie is because it's like the film makers come across as thinking that the audience is SO blindingly senseless, that we will automatically think it is SO cool to be barraged with painfully crude, UNrealistic dialog and behaviour. It's like we are supposed to 'buy' this idea that young people all act this way today, and it is somehow 'Normal' or expected. To me anyway, the characters come across as SO plastic and affected, and trying SO hard to be 'cool', that it completely takes a person right out of the movie and ruins any kind of resonance with the characters or involvement in the story.

Sadly, if the film makers would have just put the exact same story out there and pretty much developed the plot, tension, suspense, and even the violence in an ARTFUL way, WITHOUT all the 'cool' self-referential 'oh I am being so youthfully crude and hip' crap, THEN, sure, the story about a Devil Cult and the young people who fall prey to them could really have been quite good.

So, PLEASE... just leave out all the crude, supposedly 'hip' nonsense and give us characters, young or not, who ACT NATURAL & NORMAL enough, so that the rest of us can actually relate to them and buy into the story and the believability of who they are and what is happening to them. Otherwise, as far as I am concerned, the whole thing is pretty much just a pointless collection of crude, violent images strung together for shock value, and not much else because ultimately, you simply end up not giving a flying $hit for anyone here...

I fully agree with COVENTRY'S review above: Stupid, senseless, and above all, incredibly INSULTING to the audience that we have to have a story packaged this crudely for us to think it's so awesome. The current average '5' rating is honestly still far too high for this in my lowly and wretched opinion...

I normally do not go out of my way to write bad reviews of films I don't like, but this is one of the rare cases where I honestly felt so insulted by the style and approach of the film makers, that I just had to write this. Sorry the review is so one-sided, but as you likely can tell, this movie really provoked a VERY negative response from me...
