Michael Ledo Nina (Fiona O'Shaughnessy) discovers Spitfires are not the safest car on the road in the first scene. Her boyfriend Rob (Cian Barry) is coping with her death as he gets by working at the supermarket. Co-worker Holly (Abigail Hardingham) who didn't like be called "vanilla" by her last boyfriend develops a dark side. Her and Rob hook up and discover that his dead girlfriend Nina likes to make appearances during their love making.Normally such an absurdity would prevent any more such contacts, but Rob and Holly decide they will work through it as the scene turns bloody and requires frequent cleaning. Nina's sharp tongue and catty attitude become the highlight of this dark comedy,I liked the film up until the ending when the humor aspect fell short as compared to the rest of the feature. They developed a great story, did it well, but I didn't like the final closure. It is a good film for indie lovers.If you liked "Burying The Ex" and "Life After Beth" give this one a view.Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Fiona O'Shaughnessy, and thank you Abigail Hardingham )
Paul Evans I will never give up on a film, within reason, but there were times during this that I either wanted to fall asleep, or just switch off. I wanted to see it, purely because it had Fiona O'Shaughnessy, a girl who's quickly become one of my favourite actresses, hugely talented, and that voice, she is fantastic, but even she couldn't inject the spark that failed to light this film. A film that crosses over so many different genres, it's attempting to be avant garde, psychological, black humoured, it does bits of each, but isn't particularly strong in any. The music was great throughout, acting spot on, maybe it was the direction, just a bit slow.This should have been awesome. 5/10
manuelasaez The premise of this movie makes no sense; the ghost of a man's ex-girlfriend shows up, bloody and battered from the accident that caused her death, every time he has sex. It's absurd, and entirely creepy, if it weren't for how hilarious the ghost of the dead ex-girlfriend (Nina), is. Every line out of her mouth comes of with such a dark and dry wit, indicative of a very British humor, and her appearance broke up some of the more serious parts of the movie with some levity. Th acting is top notch, the SFX is disgustingly well done, and the music is amazing. I just don't think that the parts of the film make for an effective whole. As the movie went on, I started to wonder, "But, why?". Why is she haunting her ex? Did he do something to her that warranted it? Is she taking revenge on him for some reason? It just doesn't come together as well as I would have liked, but the individual parts sure were entertaining. One of the most absurd films I have seen in a long time. Every time I think that all topics have been covered in film, someone comes along and does something wholly original. This is definitely one of those times. Watch this film to just revel in the crazy.
rooee This Frightfest 2015 favourite is the first gem of 2016. A British indie written and directed by Ben and Chris Blaine, it's a jet-black sex comedy about a dead young woman who comes back to life whenever her ex-boyfriend has sex. And he's having a lot of sex with his new girlfriend, Holly (Abigail Hardingham).Avoiding potentially tiresome scenes of endless disbelief, the central couple accept the bizarre situation far more easily than their zombie. Indeed, Holly is actually turned on by the presence of Nina (Fiona O'Shaughnessy). The latter is in no mood for a ménage a trois, and proceeds to torment the new lovers. She's the embodiment of guilt.Nina Forever doesn't go for scares. But neither does it go for the surreal. The grounded way in which it depicts its essential weirdness is one of its main appeals. It's reminiscent of the deadpan exchanges between David and his dead buddy in An American Werewolf in London – that's the tone.Another key element is the characterisation. Holly and Rob (Cian Barry) are entirely convincing as the late-teenage lovers, swept up in their twisted, hermetically-sealed fantasy. And the Blaine brothers throw into the mix Nina's grieving parents, whose struggles to cope (dad's writing a terrible book; mum's trying to keep her daughter alive through Rob) are funny and moving.The Blaines' control of the material is seriously impressive. Everyone knows comedy-horror is a virtually impossible balancing act, but they mostly nail it, lightening the darkness of the material without ever taking the camp way out. It is horrific and it is funny, which is all you can ask. The balance is achieved through an unholy trinity of sex, death, and love. There's something here about faithfulness. If you never had a chance in life to stop loving someone, how do you have consent to love another? Real thought has been put into the script, creating a uniquely involving genre-evading experience. Its central romance is as carefully rendered as its gore. Nina doesn't just mean different things to different people; she means different things to the same people over the course of the story. She plays a key part in the ending, where quiet revelation awaits.And that's what this highly original film is: a quiet revelation.
