Plot
Jonah is going to get married to Eva. To celebrate, Jonah's brother and a few of Jonah's friends have taken him away for the weekend to have a stag/bachelor party. The one strip club they go to turns out to be super lame. Someone there says that he can show them to a place where they can have a real good time, so (since their motto for the night is "Just say yes") they end up following the man's car through a creepy dark forest to a beautiful mansion: the "ultimate" party house. The guys pay for Jonah to get a good non-sex performance [with their favorite memories of their mother]. So Jonah is taken by Mr. Nyx to go visit Lily, whom is trapped in a room. Jonah has one hell of a performance as he listens to her song but finds that he can't leave her trapped in the room. Breaking her out, he finds that Lily has an ankle bracelet on. Taking that off of her, he finds out that she isn't just some pretty girl that can sing enchantingly: she's a siren (wings, succubus tail, and everything!). Oh, and she wants him for herself. Can he survive? Can his friends survive? Will he ever be able to marry Eva?
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
1.5/5 - So it was labeled a horror film and yes there were some horrific things but it was pretty lame. The anatomy of Lily was interesting, though censored for television. The censor made the movie worse because how can you find a flat chested nearly androgynous woman attractive, especially when she's a supernatural creature that is smelling you out and killing everyone else in her path? Nope. *in my opinion* Anywho, she had a succubus-like tail, wings, creepy teeth that the ridges of her mouth split in the wrong manner for a human and her forehead seemed to split open. The creativeness of the creature's features really kept me watching. If it hadn't been for this design, I would have stopped watching the movie, in all honestly. Everything else completely failed. All of the friends died except one that had been tortured so that his memories could be taken and given to Jonah.
Oh, that is another thing: there was a character that could put a tattoo on the back of your neck, slip a leech into your mind and take a memory out of your head (through the leech that comes out the back of your neck with the memories absorbed). Then the leech would be put into a drink and you would remember the memories of that other person, like one of Jonah's friends that got a drink that the bartender [the memory lady] called "murder" when he asked what it was. Turns out the leech in the drink was that of someone else murdering someone, which drove Jonah's friend a bit nuts. That was also how Jonah's friends were able to pay for his song performance by giving up their favorite memory of their mother. This was another thing that made me interested in the movie but, without the memory manipulation and the design of the siren, there was nothing to keep me interested.
Suggested? No. You could watch it for Lily's design, if you are a person that likes unique ideas about monsters (especially those that have been talked about for decades), or for the memory manipulation lady but not worth it. At the end of the movie, I was disappointed that I had wasted all of that time watching it. If you do watch it, don't say I didn't warn you.
Thanks for reading my review!
