Directed by Scott Speer. Written by Jason Fuchs, based on the novel “Break My Heart One Thousand Times” by Daniel Waters. Starring Bella Thorne, Richard Harmon, Dermot Mulroney, Amy Price-Francis, Shawn Benson, Thomas Elms and Louis Herthum.
Plot: 10 years after an apocalyptic event killed millions, the world is inhabited by ghosts or “Remnants”.
10 years after the event that killed so many (caused by the government, of course), Veronica (Thorne) sees ghosts just like everyone else. But she even has breakfast with one every morning, her father. Mr. Bittner (Mulroney) teaches a class at school on the Remnants. How they are not supposed to be able to communicate with people and other such rules. So, when a Remnant in Veronica’s bathroom writes RUN on her bathroom mirror, she goes to Mr. Bittner, but he doesn’t believe her. Then, she goes to Kirk (Harmon).
Kirk is the bad boy at school, but he believes her. He studies the Remnants and doesn’t think it’s so crazy. So, they start working together to find out exactly what RUN means. It leads them to some crazy places and it was all pretty predictable, but pretty good actually. From all the negative reviews, it was a lot better than we thought it was going to be. It was original, realistic, had an incredible cast and a spectacular ending. I liked the story more than DJ though. And we were kinda pissed that there were several areas where boobs could have been, and yet there were none. I guess they were trying to make it more of a family-friendly ghost film. Whatever.
All the reviewers say it was convoluted garbage, but we just don’t know what they were watching. We recommend it with two thumbs up.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I met George Romero. He was the kindest and sweetest man. He talked to me for longer than he should have with the line getting longer. He also held my hand. And when he noticed the ladybug I have tattooed on my wrist, he said he liked it and asked me it's name. Till then, it had not had a name. Now, I call him George.
2. I love stickers. All stickers. I just adore them. I even ask for stickers for Christmas! As a matter of fact, the birthday that just past, every member of my immediate family gave me sticker packs as gifts. Affordable and extremely appreciated.
3. I have never put much stock in astrology or horoscopes, but I LOVE the magic of the MBTI. Omg. I am an INFP and it actually sounds just like me. Introverted mostly. Creative always. Heart before head and not the most logical. Totally me! For better or worse.
4. It's no surprise I count horror so high up on the list of things that make me, me. However, it's so within my soul that I was part of the Horror Club in college. Interesting bunch. And even took a Horror Lit class as an elective. I got an A.
5. Coffee always makes me happy. Always. I'm particularly fond of caramel macchiatos. But I'll drink black coffee if it's the only thing available.
6. I hate shock for the sake of shock and endings that depress me. I always mention the movies Within (2016) and the Eli Roth produced, written and starred in, Aftershock (2012), as proof of this distate I have. I abhor the idea that just because I like horror, some people think I'd actually praise a movie that lets you think the "Final Girl" just made it through the night, only to slap her in the face with a tsunami.
7. We are big time animal people. I mean, if I could, I'd have an elephant, a bear, a zebra, a penguin, an otter and a meerkat, living with me. Seriously though. We have 2 dogs right now and 2 cats. Both cats we picked up when they each came to our front door hungry. And both dogs we got from 2 different sets of neighbors. Both who, unfortunately, don't know how to care for pets long-term. But they're happy and healthy now!!
8. Revisiting my love of horror, one of the above cats, my cat, is a little black guy named Church. Because Pet Sematary. His middle name is even Pascow. To give credit where credit's due, the name was DJ's idea. But he loves horror too!
9. I'm big into art. Along with movie posters and an Anne Frank quote, I have some actual paintings on my wall. I really think Dali paints beautifully when he wants to. And if I don't get to see Michaelangelo's Pieta in person some day, I will be very disappointed.
10. Lastly, I find Emily Dickinson's poetry intriguing. I took an elective course about her as well. But do you know I injected horror even there? I was given a poem to dissect and I picked one on death, of course. Then, I researched old "Death Photos" and even printed out copies for everyone in the class. They were so interested in looking at them that it stopped them from all looking at me, and I was able to deal quite well with my stage fright. Haha

Thanks for the review. I keep feeling like I’ve seen this, but can’t be for sure. I’ll have to check it out (or check it out again).
