Review of Spider Lilies (2007) by Kirian Y — 23 Jul 2008

Hmm, this film was O.K.

Not crap. Not fantastic either.

Just so everyone knows, I had no idea what the heck a web cam girl is. I thought they are like Youtubers, but boy I was completely wrong.

...So that was one thing that put me off.

However, the character of the "web cam" girl was actually kinda interesting to watch. She had a lovely personality, and in a way I felt sorry for her.

Another thing about this film that I didn't really like was the fact that it gave off a bad message... in a way about homosexual couples (though I HIGHLY doubt that it was done on purpose) . If you watched it, then you'll know what I mean. I didn't notice this message at first, my friend had to point it out to me later on.

I felt the sex scene's were not neccessary. (Seriously. They just came out of no where. Apart from the last one. Which was actually done in a sweet way that didn't scream out "hawt lesbian sex") The film really didn't need the sex scene's, I felt they were just added in, in order to attract a certain audience.

I liked the way that they showed the relationship between Takeko and her friend. It was a really sweet bond considering the fact that he was a thug that enjoyed beating up innocent people.

And lastly, I thought the end scene was very satisfying. (I loved that outfit Jade was wearing in the last scene. From the green wig to the combat boots. Everything she wore looked really cool. :D hehe).

Overall, pretty decent film.
