My Sucky Teen Romance (2011) Reviews
This is a high-school student film that does not stand on its own
I caught a showing of My Sucky Teen Romance at a beautiful theater called The Paramount while attending SXSW 2011. There was a big crowd gathered pre-show so my expectations were high. I had also heard a bit about the director Emily Hagins who was supposed to be this young amazing filmmaker. I had seen a documentary about her making her first movie when she was 12 or 13 on the documentary channel. In short, my interest had been stoked. First let me say this movie is not bad - if taken in context. It was clearly a low budget indie and looked the part. It was obviously shot using minimal equipment, and with a couple of exceptions it was clear that the actors were not professionals. The feel of the story seemed too familiar to me. While the plot lines of My Sucky Teen Romance and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie version) are not the same - having a bunch of teens at a comic convention dealing with vampires reminded me a lot of having a bunch of teens at a prom dealing with vampires. If you keep in mind that this movie was made by a high-school student then it was pretty good for a high-school student film. Where it failed for me was that it played a major festival, when it clearly should not have. SXSW is a hometown festival for Austin, Texas and the director, Emily Hagins, is a hometown Austin girl. But my guess is, this is likely the last time she will be able to play the I'm-a-teen-movie-maker card and get away with it. In short, if you want to see a good high-school student film that was clearly made on a shoestring then you should definitely check it out. However, if you want to see a movie that stands on its own merits, without the gimmick of a child director, then you will probably want to pass and invest your time elsewhere.
Fresh Blood
. . Saw this film at CONvergence the other day and it was the highlight of my weekend. The story is pretty simple: Teenage supermarket employees get bit by rocker vampire, and then arrive at a typical science fiction/fantasy convention ( I'm not going to spoil the rest). The fun of this movie lives in the detailed writing. At first glance it might appear this is typical Twilight type teen romance junk ( and in fact I think those fans might like this as well) but it is actually more in the style of a movie like Scream, in that it ponders the conventions of Vampires, and especially the movies they come from. Fun cameos, a great young cast, a couple good kill scenes (although I could have used a little more blood) make this a fast paced fun film. I would recommend this movie to fans of Troma to Twilight and I can't say that about many films.
Surprisingly funny and smart
I wasn't expecting much and found myself captivated...give it a chance. It's a group of young people poking fun at the whole vampire craze going on right now....very tongue in cheek. It's a fun little jaunt through the more intelligent teenager's perspective. The director is young, modest and hopeful. The cast is engaging and very likable. Think an independent version of scary movie, but a lot smarter and more subtle. The director has a raw, organic talent that eschews the traditional training from film school. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her work as she matures. Some day, those who've worked with her will be look back on the experience fondly.
Fun Flick
Wow, I'm shocked at the other reviews. I also saw it at SXSW and feel like I'm the one taking crazy pills after reading those negative reviews. Part of getting asses in seats is some kind of hook no matter what the budget of the thing is, it's some great story that peaks your interest. Sure I went in wondering what kind of a film could a 17 year old make and that got me in, but that thought completely fizzled out after about five minutes into it. The movie's fun regardless of whatever budget they were working with (I could care less). I absolutely found it charming, quirky, and the fact that a kid who can't even order a beer yet made it just impressed me more. There are moments where I thought "Hmm, I'd approach that differently," but I don't think it has anything to do with age/budget - I just think that's how the director wanted to go about it, which isn't to say it's bad just different. Would I give anyone in this an Oscar? No. Do I think they're going for an Oscar though? No. I think they set out to make a fun flick with goofy characters and vampires tossed into the mix and I absolutely think they succeeded. I don't know when or how this thing's coming out, but I've talked my friends ears off about the flick and can't wait for the DVD/BluRay/whatever. The movie's fun. If you can, check it out.
If this were made by a thirty year old it would be considered rubbish.
I am a bit torn as to how to review this movie. The reason being, I discovered when I watched it at South by South West this year that it was made by a girl still in high-school. I think it was Robert Altman who said "anyone who even completes a move should win an award." Being a filmmaker, I agree with Altman. With that said, the young filmmaker deserves an award for getting her feature made. On the other hand, the film that she completed does not deserve an award. In fact after having sat through it I wondered why it was even playing at a major festival. I am still wondering that. The movie which is about a teen girl who is bitten by a vampire at a comic convention, reminded me too much of the 1992 film version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It appeared to me that there was no effort to cast any professional actors as the acting was amateurish throughout. Like most (maybe all) ultra-low budget Indies, there was no effort at set design. The movie looked like what it was, a low budget movie created by high school students. Seeing as it was made by a high school student I don't want to be too harsh, but in all fairness if this movie were made by a thirty year old I can't think of anyone who would consider it anything but rubbish.
