4.75/10
Welp. This movie exists. You can’t debate that. You can try but then you’d be wrong. Wrong and stupid. Anywho, I actually liked this movie. M. Night Shillelagh brings the terror of plants to the big screen with total sincerity not to mention Marky Mark as a science teacher and John Leguizamo has glasses. The deaths were all rad and the mood was nice but it led to me destroying all of my wife’s house plants as a preparative defense for when they attack. Well, who’s laughing now, you monstera bastard?!!
Loved the end-of-the-world/world-crumbling scenario through M. Night Shamalingus’ lens and the mass suicides were unreal. Too bad the second half blows. Hated that it felt, at times, like the CW disguised itself as a serious horror movie about botany and eerie winds only for those winds to die down in an epic anticlimax.
