She Never Died (2019)

What Does This Have ANYTHING To Do With The Original????

[6/10 · 3 January 2021]

When I first heard about this, I heard it was to be a continuation of the original storyline, following Rollins's daughter, but moments in, I knew THAT hope DIED, because our protagonist is a BLACK woman named Lucy, NOT his daughter! Then, to rub salt in the wounds, it's like they threw the entire first movie in the toilet, and flushed... twice. So much we learned of the "rules" in the first movie have just been ignored for this one. 1- Cain was the ONLY, one of a kind being like this, because it was his curse from God for killing his brother, in the fist movie we see scars on his daughter's back where wings would be, so it's within reason that she could have a familial curse passed in to her, making it a believable plot point, but not some wholly different creature! 2- Cain said he was an Angel but kinda like a vampire, he didn't eat meat, because it would make him go insane, he also didn't drink booze. Lucy not only eats human body parts, she REVELS in it, she'll eat anything, but she specifically loves fingers, because according to her she NEEDS human bone marrow to exist, and fingers are the easiest to extract it from! 3- She's not safe to be around, for ANYONE, at ANY time, her bloodlust is so high that she growls like a wild beast but constant, and even innocent people who pose no threat, she will jump on them and attack them- "because I wanted to eat them." 4- She can take a whole helluva lot more damage than Cain before she's stunned or knocked down. 5- Rollins made Cain's demeanor very dry, shy, a loner, & quick tempered, Lucy is played turning that up to150%, it's SO annoying, it's like she has ZERO personality, and because of that, I can't be interested in her character, understand her motivations, and while she DID save1 girl, that was only a coincidence, so I can't possibly see her as anything but evil, so I really hope here in the last 20 minutes she either gets what's coming to her, or the wizard gives her and the tin man both hearts! 6- Finally and most IMPORTANTLY, Cain had his ACTUAL, Biblical background story, so we could all relate, but who the heck is Lucy? At this moment I'd say it could only be Lucifer himself! Beware, watch this as a movie ONLY, NOT A SEQUEL!!!
