Nina Forever
Directed by Chris Blaine, Ben Blaine
In this critically-acclaimed horror-comedy, the ghost of a man’s ex haunts him and his new lover. Holly wants to prove she’s not some prude, but when she starts dating the brooding Rob, she’s not expecting a threeway relationship with a rotting corpse. Though the dead-ish Nina’s blood can be washed out of the sheets, the couple have to go to greater lengths to give her soul peace - if that’s even possible. Twisting a comedic premise into something dark, scary and surprisingly emotional, the Blaine brothers declared themselves ones to watch in the horror-comedy subgenre.

Nina Forever Fiona O'Shaughnessy plays Nina, a dead woman,sardonic, possessive, genuinely funny in the way that only people with nothing left to lose can be funny. Abigail Hardingham matches her as Holly, a young woman who believed her proximity to death through the field of paramedic had prepared her for something like this, and discovers with quiet devastation that it had not. What distinguishes Nina Forever from the genre is its refusal of explanation and its refusal of comfort in equal measure. Nina's appearances are never rationalized. The ending offers no clean resolution. The blood is real and the humor is real and the heartbreak is real and the film trusts you to hold all three simultaneously without being told how. It is unnerving, genuinely funny, and far more emotionally intelligent than its premise has any right to promise. .
that was very good!
It did not hold my attention. I kept having to rewind it because I would fully checkout. I love a slow burn. I love thoughtful movies in general. I don’t need a horror movie to be a fast paced slasher. This “horror-comedy” failed on both fronts. I did not crack a smile the entire time. It wasn’t scary. Even through the lens of it being an allegory for loss, it fell flat. If you’re looking for a movie with lots of blood and breasts, it had plenty of both. It just forgot to add even the thinnest of storylines to keep you watching. It is a movie that I have now watched.
I really loved this the first time around. The second watch was underwhelming. Cool premise. I liked the story and the characters. Ending could've been better. Definitely worth a watch. It's fun.
Pretty good.
