Even More Moovie Talk

I just saw the film "Antibodies"


It is sooo good!  I think it's sort of a mixture between "The Silence of the Lambs"  and "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" with a hint of "The Black Dahlia." Right after I watched it I read some of the negative reviews on Netflix.  A lot of people said that it was a ripoff from the lambs and the movie "se7en,"  which I've never seen (leave me alone!)  So I will not comment on that.
While it did have a lot of similarities with silenced lambs, it is not as bad a ripoff as "Repo Man" is to "REPO! The Genetic Opera."  There is a difference between stealing a movie's premise entirely, and being inspired/heavily influenced by it.  I don't think it was a ripoff at all!  There are similarities, but they are different in many ways.  (except for the CGI deer.  I was like "wtf?!")
I'll tell you why I liked this film.
The story was interesting.  It was thrilling throughout the entire film, and it kept my attention.  The acting was good, cinematography not bad,  soundtrack was.... in the background.  I really didn't notice it, but that's ok.  The twists and messing-with-your-head-ness of it is just.. AH!  And honestly, I liked the villain in this one better than Hannibal Lecter.   He was more interesting and all.  This film scared me more than the lambs too, the other one didn't scare me at all.

Don't get me wrong, I love The Silence of the Lambs,  and I really liked Antibodies.  I like them both the same (antibodies is newer though.)  Think of it this way:  You have a PS2, and you love it!  But then you get a PS3.  get it?  you like them both, but one is newer.  You still like them both the same, does that make sense?...

Oh well.  They are both great movies, and I recommend that you check them both out if you haven't already.  Now I'm gonna go and add it to my wish list, next to The Silence of the Lambs - widescreen edition.

ta!
