Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
They've taken a classic, haunting tale, and basically just sh*t all over it. I love the story of Bluebeard, I remember reading it when I was younger and just being in a sort of daze for a few days after, as I was mesmerised by the ending of the story. I've never seen a film adaptation of the story, and so when I read the synopsis for this movie and realised what it was, I was so excited. I already knew within the first ten minutes I didn't like this film. Never says what year it is set in. It has a late 60s - mid 70s feel about it, yet there's a lot modern technology so I was a bit baffled by this. The score doesn't work, the cinematography is a bit shoddy, but that could be to do with giving it a more vintage look. I just don't know. The lead actress does nothing for me. Didn't get very far as I gave up after around 40min. Hated it that much.
This was a very good movie - suspenseful and a little weird. Reminded me of a modern '60's or 70's movie. These low ratings are ridiculous.
I really enjoyed the movie. Dark and mysterious. Nice cast. By the way. Is the female nudity reason of poor reception? There's a lot of it in the movie. I exactly know in what world we live right now and many people want to make female nudity taboo again. Today there are not many films with females nude, but if any appears, it is always criticized.
To be honest it got very boring very quick and predictable, I watched it to the end just to see what happened... then thought ... is that it . When someone tells you not to open a door what are you going to do .. surprise surprise.
