Once you got past the idea that plants would want to kill us, it really isn't that far fetched to accept. I've always thought of nature having a defense mechanism against humanity. Not exactly like this, but effective nonetheless. And I don't know where all the complaints about acting are coming from. In all his movie, the acting and dialogue has always been a little weird and of kilter. I'm not a huge fan of his style in that regard, but it is different and I'll never fault someone for trying to be different. As for talking to the plant... I liked it, because it was both scary and funny at the same time. Normally this plant would be completely innocuous, but after the events that happened, the single shot of the plant took on a whole new threatening meaning. Hell, these are plants for crying out loud! We've always taken them for granted, and now they're super villains who can kill us with their breath! It did get off track once the crazy people showed up (the boarded up house, the crazy lady). This always annoys me about movies like this. It suddenly becomes about something else, kinda like Tim Robbins in War of the Worlds. And the score was fantastic. Possibly the best one of the year. Just outstanding. But these are plants, right? It seems there's an easy way to fight them off: Kill them with fire. |
