If there needs to be one last proof of Peter Jackson having been artistically spoilt by his Lord of the Rings megalomania, this interesting companion piece to Jackson's wonderful "Heavenly Creatures" is that very evidence.
Whereas the earlier pic was subtle and reserved in its use of special effects to lead the viewer into the girls's fantasy world, here it's all bombast and sledgehammer symbolism, with our raped and killed teen angel wandering through corny CGI landscapes that would even the makers of the Robin Williams bomb "What Dreams May Come" blush of shame.
But what's even worse: the dark thriller subplot, the tragicomic family drama and the above-mentioned afterlife scenes don't gel at all and remain strictly superficial and listless, one might even add tasteless and vulgar.
The first half hour is acceptable, the rest is rubbish.
