Substantially recycling most of its major points from “Brightwood” this movie improves on it in some ways and falls short of it in others. Promisingly, the couple in this film don’t bicker quite as constantly or annoyingly. Other than that, there are such strong similarities, that many of the unexplained plot points, which this movie is particularly full of, I understood easily because they were explained in “Brightwood”.
It’s the huge number of not-even-subtle-enough-to-be-fridge-logic leaps, as well as the 100% familiar “twists” and conceits, that make this movie a failure as entertainment. It’s certainly better-made than “Brightwood” in many ways. But, when you’ve already seen something that’s so similar that you know what’s coming before it does, it’s hard to enjoy. Really cool ideas, for sure, but poorly executed and totally already done before.
