Probably cos you are one of the dumb idiots who can't see past the fact that it was incorrectly marketed as a bloody horror film when there is so much more to it. Without a doubt has best love story in any film so far this century. Has a brilliant score too. I'll leave something for someone else to say.

Oh dear, anyone who isn't improved by watching this film doesn't know how to appreciate drama. You're no doubt looking for thrills, scares and a story. The story is just the means by which you come to realisations concerning perception, belief and the purpose of mythology, in the case of this film, if you're appreciating it properly.

Care to explain what's so terrible about it Mr. Mood? You should lay out your argument first before making grandiose statements (that lack substance in this case).

i fot it wuz like, a monster what killed loadsa folk, fickin shite min

feckin monster wasnae even real! faz scared by human's like? unless it's fatso's ma!

You get our point? Anyone who dismisses this film as simply "terrible" is a ned, unless you can give a good reason.....

I sat through the whole film waiting and expecting and striving to pick up clues for the not-very-clever 'twist,' that my friend jokingly predicted near the start, but was naturally dismissed as being far too obvious.

The dialogue, is bad. Its boring. Old fashioned BBC drama, over-exaggerated drivel. They ram the story down you morons' throats with: 'Ones We Do Not Speak Of' bullshit, and the, lets face it, downright silly monsters-in-cloaks-of-the-colour-we-do-not-think-of-who-come-out-at-night-but-can't-get-you-if-you-close-the-door nonsense. It's predictable and blatant from the start. I gave it a chance and wanted it to be good (seeing as I was the one who had rented it) but after a while, after being force fed the rules of the plot and the scene had been set a million times, the story gives you that vague impression that it was made for morons and that there is an awkward silence setting into the gap in the atmosphere which is usually filled with what we call 'interest.'
It didn't run smoothly at all. Clunky dialogue that immediately kills your respect for the characters (typical cliches but with silly, tedious mannerisms). The plot was leaky down to the trivial aspects of characters saying and doing unrealistic things, again dissing the actors credibility.

Everything that happened was put there for a reason. Everything said was adding to a very slow-moving conclusion that was apparent from the start. This conveyed to me that the idea was dreamed up by one of these:
A: Someone at the pub.
B: A child.
C: A talking rectum.
I concur that it was scripted by an infant, talking rectum (basically a kid that speaks shit). If you think hard, it actually does sound like a story you would write in primary school. The 'facts' being spelled out, in an attempt maybe, to bore the pants off you but then capture your imagination with some mind-bending twist, but you've gotten so bored with your own crappy writing, that by the time you get to the end, you just finish with some totally un-captivating anti-climax (not that I actually expected any sort of consolation for what I had witnessed before the 'twist').
There was no interesting dialogue, no clever twist, plenty of cliched characterisation and how (or why) anyone would think this a good love story or a quality film...

The story is just the means by which you come to realisations concerning perception, belief and the purpose of mythology,

If it's the theme of the film you are getting at, then who cares? It's a badly made film, so I cannot take seriously it's half-assed plight. Even suggesting that I somehow should gain 'moral light' by watching this abomination is ridiculous.

I totally disagree with you about the dialogue being exaggerated. Again you just blab on about the plot which isn't that important. If you didn't think it was a beautiful love story you officially don't have heart.
