She's Just a Shadow

**Avoid at All Costs** This is easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. It is vile, reprehensible, and degrading. I have watched a lot of bad films (I tend to seek them out) and this film is bad. It is bad in ways I never would have imagined films could be bad. Every scene invents entirely new ways for films to be bad. I am including IMDB's content advisory because you need to know this in case you decide you want to watch this film: - Sex & Nudity: Severe - Violence & Gore: Severe - Profanity: Severe - Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking: Severe - Frightening & Intense Scenes: Severe Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. And yet...there is something about this film that exhilarates me. There is something about the god-awful wretchedness of this film that makes me feel more alive than most films. There is, incredibly, a moving and profound death scene ("Kiss me, I'm dying"). There is the amazing song Nobody Can Live Forever by Tim Maia, which is now on my Top Ten Favorite Songs list, and which I might never have heard if I hadn't watched this film. But this is not a great film. It is bad. It is a bad film. Do not watch this film. 9 out of 10 stars.
