Ageism at its finest
The whole concept is "old people can't have sex," old people= scary, bad. This isn't even remotely true, to add on that old people are so bitter they'll kill everyone is ageist and the way they went about it felt very unrealistic. There are many ways to work around disability and sex, and it didn't quite make sense why they wouldn't explore that before massacring young folks. This tired concept that has been pretty prevalent in horror films, the idea that elders are somehow very dangerous and manipulative is tiresome especially when that's the whole concept. You can have old characters who are creepy but give it more of a concept, and background. Not to mention, elders are the most at risk to get hurt and this adds to the stigma. I enjoyed the first half of the movie, I liked seeing the drama unfold with the stars and their views and aspirations seemed interesting. Once the gore and horror started, it felt lazy and like they had no real direction to killing the characters. I understood the concept of the last one being special and the daughter of the priest... Nonetheless, lazy. Great acting on everyone's part, bad concept and execution. It should of just been in a drama.
Sincerely, a twenty something year old horror fan.
Quand on a 17 ans (2016)
Intense and Realistic film.
Every single character felt so real and genuine.The acting was fantastic!The summary I felt was very basic but when watching the film, it's a way different experience. They did an amazing job of showing us the scenery without boring us to death and they were slowly falling in love.I loved how nothing felt rushed,the ending was beautiful and very touching. I'm so glad this film ended in a realistic but happy end for the gay characters. I'm so used to seeing sad gay films, it's so nice to see something so different. The parents figures played amazing well fleshed out characters, I truly felt for their struggles. So glad they didn't do the typical homophobic route but instead a more unique perspective. Overall,this has now become one of my favorite films.
