Black turkey

Rating: 3/10 (17 May 2013)

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW* Wow, this movie was so laughably bad I couldn't believe it. Looks like really bad bad rip-off of Polanski's Repulsion and maybe Requiem for a dream. Characters talk and act like they are written by 13 year old boy who is deeply frustrated of still being a virgin. Scenes that were supposed to be scary just looked boring and predictable. I was expecting something truly nasty, but no.. Only disturbing thing in this is constant use of profanities and boringly stereotypical sexual clichés about female artists. Why they are always portrayed as weak, naive, psychologically imbalanced, and always under some sexual predatory of their much older mentor? OK, that was the case with Frida and Dora Maar, but this story is just getting annoying. And cruel 'Mother' in the movie obviously thought she was in some 'Carrie' sequel, and she was pretty bad at that. CGI was pure comedy gold, it like a movie turned into cartoon in that moment, it's really funny. I was just expecting Scooby Doo to turn up. The only thing that was worthy in this movie was Winona Ryder in her role of primaballerina, and even she was annoying with constant cursing. But the scene of her after accident, in the wheelchair, with her backs against Natalie Portman who brings some personal stuff to her, that scene was excellent! If the whole film was like this, it would be great, but it's not unfortunately.. Better watch Suspiria if you want a good horror movie with ballet dancers.
