I read the negative reviews and should have listened- they're true. I'm a woman who is tired of watching these overexaggerated depictions of female victimhood. Why can't I just get an entertaining movie that isn't shoving a message down my throat while beating me over the head with it? I was the only female child in a large family of males, I've traveled the world alone, and I pretty much can do anything and everything I want, without being harassed 24/7 by a man. So I guess this message doesn't work on me. I've been sexuality harassed at work and now I don't work there. I've been groped in public and smacked a few for it. I'm not denying it exists, but I think we've mostly acknowledged it as a society. Okay, so where's the solution? I don't need to keep pulling off scabs to prove a point. This movie is one big bloody scab and serves no real purpose. Besides ridiculous plot holes (who the hell puts used bloody tissue back in their purse?! Blech- flush the damn thing) and a long drawn out cat and mouse game that doesn't make much sense, the style and direction were a mish-mash. The oldies music, roller rink scene, breaking the 4th wall, etc. Ended up competing with each other, resulting in no winners. The lead actress was pretty solid, but I grew tired of the "I need a tampon" speech real quick when she had a huge gaping wound on her head with no bandage 95% of the time. The ghoul flees when a dog is around, so why not spend the night in a kennel? Done. But wait! We first have to find the underground lady boot camp where spas and karate collide, so we can dress up like Ralph Macchio to destroy an all powerful entity that has survived longer than humans. Ok. I guess sunlight and fire is all they needed, though. Too bad the First Lady never thought to just burn the guy's house down during the daytime these last millenia. So the takeaway is that men are pigs and women will always be victims, until we put on our kimono to kick ass? Pfffft.
