No, it's not horror. It's more of a drama and, IIRC, a dry & dark comedy featuring 2 teenage girls growing apart as they grow up.It was interesting, but I didn't care for it. It came highly recommended to me because I was such a fan of the show Daria (and many Daria fans do love it) but it wasn't for me. I saw it on video not long after it came out and I don't recall it that well now. I recall finding the ending sad, though not over the top as most movie endings tend to be. IP: Logged |

Daria's so cool.My Daughter's and I love to watch the Marathon Tapes. Especially the Columbo one and the Chock Full A Nuts episode. Oh, the UFO one was hilarious, that Pizza guy was on Sick, Sad World telling how Daria and Jane abducted him from work and that that's how he lost his eighty fifth and a half job. Oh... What about that Harry Potter actor one? The Woman in Black, I think? I Loved the Ending on that one. It was Great. Train Stations are a Trip. Hugo was cool. The Station Master could have been better, it had possibilities. No, Station Agent, I think. IP: Logged |

I liked it because I could relate to Seymour so much. In alot of ways it was like watching my life on a tv screen. Except for the fact that he is middle aged and collects old records. Like me he struggles with women and has asperger's (even though its not explicitly said he obviously does). To me the movie accurately portrays the typical aspie man. One thing that bugs me is how hollywood always seems to portray aspies as savants or prodigies and I was happy that they didn't do it in this movie. It also shows how cruel young women can be. Its a great movie if you can get past the weirdness. I loved the ending but I wont say much about that because I don't want to spoil it. But I will say its surprising and refreshing and doesn't give you the typical Hollywood romantic fluff. It,like the rest of the movie, slaps you in the face with reality and shows the ugly side of life/relationships.IP: Logged |
