The Invisible (2007)
7/10
Redemption
22 August 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This movie's message is basically redemption. A bad girl with a bad family life attacks an innocent guy believing the guy is the one who ratted her out about stealing jewellery from a store. The guy haunts all those that knows about his whereabouts following the attack, but only the girl is able to hear him. Much like in a way, a person's conscious nags one for doing something bad. The girl learns about her victim by snooping through his things and when she finds out that he was a scapegoat, she goes through much trouble to find out where his body was hidden and reveals the information through the authorities. The boy is saved from death. In the end, all the girl wanted was to do "one good thing" in her life. The boy, having been her personal poltergeist, sympathizes with his attacker until she meets her demise from a gunshot wound that she received in her attempts to find out where the boy's body was hidden. That's essentially a rough summary of the film.

I found this film to be a lot better than what I had originally anticipated and the ending was very poignant. I ended up sympathizing with the victim and the attacker as well as other characters, such as the victim's mother and his best friend. 7/10 stars.

Teen Witch (1989)
4/10
Pretty bad!
26 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This review is coming from an 18-year-old girl's perspective, so obviously I didn't grow up in the 80s watching this movie as most of the movie reviewers here have. I may be grading this movie quite harshly comparing this movie with the current movies out, but I'm really trying not to. This movie, quite bluntly, is cheesetastic and its plot is unremarkable. Sure, it had its funny bits (((SPOILER: the lead character, Louisa, using a voodoo doll to control her teacher, who has penchant to humiliate Louisa- is a fine example))) and there were moments in the movie in which you probably weren't suppose to laugh, but you'll end up doing so anyway. There were also many predictable moments that had me rolling my eyes when I guessed correctly. If you're like me and didn't grow up in the 80s/ personally witnessed it- you will discover by watching this movie that it's 90 minutes gone out of your life that you will never get back- in my case however it's 72 minutes since megavideo cut me off. I found Dirty Dancing and Footloose much more enjoyable 80s films. However, if you're looking for witch-type films, you may enjoy The Craft much better.
