Reseñas (3)
Una visión de la mente muy particular de una adolescente de instituto que odia su escuela, está obsesionada con la sangre y quiere ser cirujana. Y su cabeza está un poco desordenada. Richard Bates la sitúa en un bonito barrio estadounidense, como una forastera asocial poco atractiva, con ideas y sueños visualmente interesantes, pero que el espectador no puede entender ni encontrar ninguna conexión con ellos debido a su extrañeza y distanciamiento. Así, la película no ayuda al espectador a entender a los personajes de la misma y es más bien una sucesión de más y más conflictos entre la protagonista y su madre, profesor, reverendo, compañeros de clase, etc. Los mini papeles de Malcolm McDowell y John Waters son una delicia, pero no elevan la película. Y el final sorprende, pero no conmociona de la manera que quiere.

Ha! I was expecting some sort of serious and oppressive dose of insanity, but in the end it’s a light-hearted joke. The performances are perfect, and so are the dream sequences, visually and artistically. The plot is absent, basically, you only wait for the protagonist to stop being a perverted psychopath in a cute innocent way and get tougher. She does gets a little tougher in the end, but it wouldn’t have mattered if she hadn’t, the film would still be likeable. In my opinion, one of the most distinctive additions to the genre this year (even if it fails to meet the expectations of classic horror fans). Only a few of us will be satisfied.

Few would have said about the model-faced AnnaLynne McCord that after a few series, it would be time for her to play some of those human monsters, too. AnnaLynne is super sexy in Nip/Tuck, 90210, and Dallas, but along with all those perfect beauties with hearts on their sleeves, she's also Pauline - a teen with a blood fetish who not only doesn't look attractive, she acts like a total retard and no one would even lean a bike on her at school. Yet even with this appearance and total outsider behavior, the lovely Pauline will achieve all the goals she has set for herself. Whether it's losing her virginity during menstruation or getting spare organs for her sister. And of course, we have the great famous former actress Traci Lords as her mother. It couldn't be more ironic than this.
