Worth watching, despite some painful scenes

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2009)

I'm not too familiar with Gothic and emo movies in general, but suppose you can count this as one of them.
I liked the slightly dark atmosphere and the thought on death and life. Also i liked the visual style of the pictures, like short before a thunderstorm is coming up, but nearly through the whole movie. Perhaps a little like in "Sleepy Hollow". There were some hard to watch sequences, where all there is is shallow acting and it's all about 'look how cute our protagonist is!', which was a little unnerving for me as a guy, but: There was a line that was not quite crossed, if you get my drift.
So all in all an entertaining movie, if you just want action you probably should see something else.
6/10
