This has been advertised for months at our over 55's cinema club and from the first trailer I thought it looked rather disturbing and definitely not something I'd want to see..however my two cinema buddies both said in unison "wow..we must go and see this when it comes". One of them couldn't wait and went to see it at xmas, she asked me whether I wanted to go and I said...It's had shocking reviews and if I think I'd rather wait until it comes to cinema club - She actually liked it, but I thought, well if she's seen it then perhaps she'll not want to watch it again and I'll get away with not going...Wrong..she was highly excited and said we'd need to get down there early to make sure we get a seat..we did but needn't have worried 'cause the cinema has practically empty.
If I were to describe it in one word it would be four letters long and start with the letter S. Where do I began....It was freaky with human faces on cats with breasts, twitching ears and stiff twitchy tails......ooooo err! The entire film was shot in a dank, dark depressing hue, had no plot, it was just a talent show set in someone's nightmare (mine by the end of it) I was bored and would have walked out early had I not been in company. The all star cast were wasted on this pile of dross and then Jennifer Hudson (a mighty fine singer I must add) literally BELLOWED out the beautiful song "memory" complete with snotty tram lines running down into her mouth......Unbelieveable....At the (merciful) end of the film I was ready to say to the girls..OMG did that really happen? The one who hadn't seen it said "wow...that was amazing" The other one said "yes, I told you you'd like it".....I kept very quiet. Even walking up the road they were saying omg she "smashed" memory didn't she...I said you could say that....Then she said I'm gonna download that as soon as I get indoors...How people are different eh?
Anyone else seen this? If so what did you think? Unfortunately I can't un-see the wonderful Ian McKellen standing up lapping milk out of a saucer...it reminded me of the George Galloway/big brother incident - gave me the collywobbles so much that any download inspired by that film would not be going anywhere near my phone!!!
