@strangefour @cptbutton I felt the lead feature started strong, I quite liked that part and hoped we were in for a fun ride. Then it just got so. dull. and turned into a police procedural and _wow_ did I stop caring, until they killed arguably the two best characters in the film, and then I was like "well THAT'S great we'd better get a good payoff"
and wow did we not get a good payoff xD
(I'm sorry but the singer/prostitute to my mind showed more defined individual _character_ than anyone in the film, with a lot of credit to the actress regardless of what you might think of her accent. She and Elsa Lanchester delivered the best performances regardless of what you think of their characters IMO)
This is a little prior to Tails from the Crypt..
... anyone get the sense someone caught wind of the development of that and tried to jump the gun with their own project?
Because these felt like some sub-Tails From the Crypt scripts that were bodged together artlessly.
Well, that was a weak-sauce tacked-on pointless "the monster's not really dead!" ending.
About right for a movie that was so deliberately derivative.
I've seen worse movies, but it really needed to pick a lane between "monster vignette anthology" and "Fright Night pastiche". And a tone.
