What is this? Tim's version of Twilight?

This film bears the halo of the iron triangle combination of Tim and Depp. Naturally, it is highly anticipated by all kinds of fans. Those who like weird art like Tim, those who like Aunt Goth, like Tim and his wife, like handsome guys and changeable The performance style is like Depp, and the film is also worth watching, whether it is the dazzling white Eva, the mature and elegant Pfeiffer, or the already slim Colo, and the classic and solemn temperament. Heathcote, yes, and our Uncle Rorschach. It stands to reason that if these people stop there, the film is enough to be worth more than an hour.

The plot is said to be adapted from an early TV series, which explains why the plot is so trivial and complicated.

Who is the protagonist? The hero's fateful wife or the hero's fateful nympho? The film also intends to take the light comedy line. As a result, the story is told too quickly, and it is not enough to just play tricks for a few seconds.

As for the fantasy part, the witch's eggshell and the force, the vampire who can be turned into a vampire by being cursed, and the girl werewolf who suddenly appeared at the end are all good materials, but unfortunately, it's still the same sentence, there are too many characters. Some people are basically playing soy sauce in a hurry, and it may be better to delete a few people's scenes. The last mouthful when the male protagonist accompanies the female protagonist to jump off the cliff is a tribute to Twilight? If it was me, it'd be designed so that the little boys' fucking ghosts saved them, and the fucking ghosts did their fucking job.

Another highlight of this film is the re-enactment of the 1970s. When Carpenter's song appeared on the screen, it was enough to excite me. I remember the last time I heard Carpenter appear in the media, or " Metal Gear Solid: Peacekeepers. The emergence of hippies also makes people know that there are angry youths in all eras. The angry youths of that era smoked marijuana and had sex, and modern angry youths smoked methamphetamine and made love. However, the hippies of that era created excellent works of art, Like music, what about this era?
