Can someone please tell me what 'explicitly fit' means? I get all the other sexual innuendo (and sexual obviousness) of the ad, but that's a new one on me!

@boobookitteh: In the UK 'fit' means hot. And this movie is 'explicitly shit'.

@cuteasabutton: Ah! I kinda see. Still not sure how hotness is explicit - unless that's code for 'porn'. But I may be asking too much to expect any sense here.

Vampires are traditionally very straight-laced. While a gay vampire makes sense to me, Bram Stoker's book was seriously like the straightest book ever. Men bite women, women bite children, and a sexy woman = bloodsucking demon. Stephanie Meyer just exacerbated the trend by making her vampires abstinent in every sense of the word. Also, sparkly.

Interesting choice of censorship: apparently "lesbi-", the very bottom of that girl's boobs, and the moon are so offensive that they need to be covered with what appear to be anti-smoking labels.

@AuntieBee: Gotcha. Yes, I'm sure at first glance, you notice the little mud-flap girl silhouette in the A, and not the giant luminescent cleavage. Boobs: because "the lesbian Twilight" wasn't moving enough product.

the lesbian curse is only lifted when the lesbian is penetrated by the cock sword

In parts of Africa lesbians are raped to "cure" them.

@beccamb: As horrible as that practice is (makes me flamingly angry), you can't really compare that to this movie. This isn't condoning that practice, and honestly I doubt the creators even know about it. That's a cultural practice that is, frankly, disgusting. This is a stupid movie made by a bunch of guys.

@dragonian_angel: The creators don't have to be aware of the practice. They both come from the same line of thinking--that the threat to men posed by lesbian sexuality can be brutally vanquished with force by men. It is all part of rape culture, wherein women's bodies are treated as the rightful property of men and women's autonomy is dangerous. It's not mitigated if anyone's too stupid to see that they're buying into it.

@emilyanne: Yeah. And to be fair the cinema was half empty. And it isn't as good as (for example) Shaun of the Dead, but I think it's been handed a lot of vitriol which it didn't really deserve. It's a crappy movie but it made me laugh. And I wasn't insulted to be a feminist (or a woman even) in that cinema.

@beastybeatsy: ha fair enough, i have to say that I've been too scarred by my brief time as a film reviewer to go and see a movie with reviews that bad. I was suprised as I think Gavin and Stacey is both funny and quite sensitively done.

Then again Horne's Law says that for everything good Matthew Horne does he will also appear in something as shit as Roman's Empire.

Why am I not suprised a bunch of guys thought out a plot where there are a bunch of hot lesbian girls but give them the right cock and its all over.
You know what guys, those of you that think this movie is correct, please use this as your first date movie. This way my female friends and I can quickly eliminate you from the dating pool...better yet can you pair it with the blow up doll jacket? This way there is no further misunderstanding.

As much as I understand the outrage, if you do some research into the other work these people have done (like Gavin and Stacey) they're clearly not misogynists. This movie is a joke, it's not even satire, it's just meant to be utterly insane and ridiculous. Obviously a feminist or lesbian reviewer is going to hate it. Clearly I'm in a minority here, but I still think this looks funny.

@undomesticgoddess fears all!!!: yes, trust me you don't. Oh ok then, Sex Lives of the Potato Men stars 'comedian' Johnny Vegas, Office boy Mackenzie Crook and The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gattiss. They are delivery men who deliver potato chips round the country and have active if largely imaginary sex lives in northern England. Yes that's the plot. To help you understand it's sheer pointlessness The Times called it 'one of the two most nauseous films' ever made. I merely called it utter rubbish. I wish i'd been as sarky as the Times guy in retrospect.

Any chance this is badly executed satire on B movies?

Hate to play devil's advocate and all, but I'm quite sure those who made this were aware of how incendiary the topic, but tried to play it in such a way that the lunacy of the vampire genre is pointed out too. It's likely incredibly cackhandedly done, but that's a point about comedic execution, not intent.

@Beat Girl is screaming into the abyss: Mathew Horne said, in response to criticisms that the film was offensive to women '"It's so far less gratuitous, both sexually and violently, than you could ever imagine from the title. And [the vampires are] very strong women! So you can read it as a feminist text as well."' That sounds like massively missing the point, rather than intending to satirise B movies but executing your intention badly.

Lets be fair people it's not just feminists who hate this film, everyone hates it. It's opened to the worst UK reviews of recent times and the Sunday Times gave a whole page over to why or how it could kill Matthew Horne and James Corden's up and coming careers.

@emilyanne: You said it. Even the horror underground is calling it mediocre and uninspired.

From the clips, I'm inclined to agree.

I'm guessing that they were shooting for a cross between Snakes on a Plane, Shaun of the Dead, and Rocky Horror Picture Show.
