Good movie but grossly overrated
Best movie of this year hands down!
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
"Sick Girl" is a combination of morbid romantic comedy and the over-the-top B horror, in the Henenlotter style. Angela Bettis plays the entomologist, a lonely and insecure lesbian whose apartment is full of pet insects. She looks like she fell out of the forties, and her voice and the way she talks were terribly annoying to me. She meets Misty Falls, beautiful but strange and mysterious girl, played by Erin Brown, to fans of lesbian fantasy soft-porn better known as Misty Mundae. Just google her filmography and everything will be clear. The two of them become a couple and start living together. At the same time, Angela receives an anonymous shipment with an unknown species of insect. This creature escapes from its box and starts a series of unfortunate events which, although fun, are a sorry excuse for the horror genre. Also, there is no chemistry between the actresses, or at least I have not felt it. The episode was originally intended for Roger Corman and if he weren't replaced by Lucky McKee it might be better. This way it's neither scary, nor funny, nor romantic. The word which, in my opinion, best describes this episode is "awkward".5/10
The main actress was a terrible actress, she was imitating Microsoft Sam or whatever the application is called. The only good part was right at the end when the lesbian turns into a crazy bug monster and eats the co-worker of the main lead. .Clam lickers unite, but the characters were not really believable, especially when one is based on a 1950's prude wife and the other is a spaced out hippy who has hair like the chick from the ring. It started out strong with the conversation between the lead and her colleague but it trailed off after that.I agree with one message in the film though, lesbians are not paedophiles and the old lady should have chilled out, glad she "fell" down the stairs lol. There were breasts, but they were not as good and do not redeem this flick.
Being a fan of the "Masters Of Horror" series, I was quite curious to see this 10th episode of the first season, Lucky Mc Kee's "Sick Girl" starring Angela Bettis, the star of McKee's 2002 film "May". "Sick Girl" is not quite a typical MoH episode, as it could best be described as a very black comedy with a fair amount of creepiness and a twisted sense of humor.Ida Teeter (Angela Bettis), a lesbian etymologist, is a shy person who is desperately looking for a companion as her romances usually end quickly due to her obsession with her beloved insects. Shortly after she is sent a mysterious Brazilian bug by mail, Ida's luck changes, when she meets Misty (Erin Brown), a peculiar but lovable and beautiful young woman..."Sick Girl" is quite different to any of the other MoH episodes I've seen (nearly all). This is a quite unique and bizarre little black comedy with a weird sense of humor and two great leading performances. Angela Bettis is excellent as Ida, and so is Erin Brown (aka. Misty Mundae, star of a vast number of softcore erotica and B-movie horror flicks). These two ladies fit perfectly in their roles and make this black horror comedy very lovable in many aspects. "Sick Girl" is generally highly entertaining, my only regret is that this clever episode lacks the suspense of may of the other episodes. This is highly amusing and, due to the two young ladies in the lead even heart-warming at times, and there is no doubt that it has a lot of wit and originality, but I personally missed the Horror.Over all, however, this may not be one of the episodes that are going to give you the creeps, but it is nevertheless highly entertaining, witty, greatly acted and quite original. MoH fans should not miss this one. Recommended!
The lonely, shy and lesbian etymologist Ida Teeter (Angela Bettis) of The McNaughton Museum of Natural History is obsessed by her "pets", actually her collection of insects. She works with her colleague and friend Max (Jesse Hlubik), also her adviser in sexual behavior. Ida receives an anonymous package from Brazil with an unclassified insect but the weird bug breaks free from the box. Meanwhile Ida falls in love for the gorgeous Misty Falls (Erin Brown), who is bitten and infected by the bug and moves to Ida's apartment. When Ida receives letters from her former Professor Malcolm Wolf explaining how the insect reproduces and transforms the animals he bites, Ida is apprehensive about Misty."Sick Girl" is one of the best episodes of "Master of Horror" show. Directed by Lucky McKee (of "May") and with Angela Bettis performing another weird and eccentric character, the story recalls the sci-fi / horror genre of the 50's or 60's with eerie monster and lots of black humor. I was surprised with the extensive filmography of the good and beautiful actress Erin Brown, who is completely unknown for me. I believe most of her movies have not been released in Brazil, and this is certainly the first film that I see her. Surprisingly there are bad reviews in IMDb of this episode. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Criatura Maligna" ("Evil Creature")
