THE INITIATION OF
SARAH (2006)

|
The writers are so intent on forcing the “powerful but out of control” heroine type on us so repetitively that it eventually becomes goofy. There are at least three sequences of our character Sarah who lashes out with her powers and runs off in a whiny fit. I couldn’t help but laugh thinking back at “Not Another Teen Movie” when our main character is humiliated and just keeps running around crying. But we learn that Sarah is “The One.” There’s always a “One,” isn’t there? There are so many “One’s” that the whole cliché becomes so utterly exhausting, and I could care less what type of “One” Sarah was. Because this “One” is not some “One,” because she’s very unkempt and like so totally Goth and stuff. How can you tell Boorem’s character Sarah is edgy and Goth? She has streaked hair, studded wrist bracelets, talks as if she’s always on the verge of tears, and she’s extremely blasé about going to college. They need her blood, I think, to feed an eternal flame that has… plans or something. I was fuzzy on the details. Take a few people from the CW, a few from “The OC,” and mix them together to make one long weak, bland, and lightweight horror movie for teen girls featuring bitchy characters and a plot that moves at a slug’s pace. Add some forced drama, and Tilly as a hilariously over the top resident evil she-bitch, and you get a horror fantasy for the “Goosebumps” crowd, which is right up ABC Family’s alley. We really didn’t need another “The Covenant.”
