Demonlover (2002)
1/10
Two hours too long

This is one of the most frustrating, dull films I've ever seen. I almost wish I'd followed the lead of one strong soul who walked out of the cinema during it. However I sat through the whole thing, and now know that interesting subject matter, a gorgeous cast, and a slick production, do not a good film make. The plot seems designed simply to place the sullen lead female character, Diane, in a position where she can be sexually exploited by the dastardly Demonlover.com. The dialogue is oversubtle to the point of obscurity, and I never started to relate to ANY of the characters. It seems to be trying to pay homage to a swag of genres - but all it does is create a big, boring mess. The music by Sonic Youth is great, but no soundtrack on earth could redeem this one.
