Review of Lightning Bug (2004) by Adam U — 13 Nov 2011

Robert Hall directs this [loosely based] autobiographical tale about a boy in the bowels of Alabama who has a real talent for special effects and masks, trying to get out and go to Hollywood. The film was full of homages to Fangoria, 80s Video rental stores, horror movies and Halloween, while that sounds like it would be awesome it was poorly executed, the main problem being the acting.

After watching a few movies with Laura Prepon, it's apparent now that she has absolutely no reason to be getting paid to act, "Hot Donna" should just bask in the glory of her That 70s Show fame because she doesn't have much hope.

Robert Hall has gone on to direct the awful Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2, the writing and directing for Lightning Bug is a notch above, but only a notch.
