Beautiful Creatures

Review by Matt Finley

Whether or not it’s fair that THE TWILIGHT SAGA has become the de facto standard for contrast and comparison when folks talk teen paranormal romance, writer/director Richard LaGravenese (screenwriter of, among other things, Terry Gilliam’s THE FISHER KING) and Alcon Entertainment should be glad that it’s the case. By typical cinema standards, LaGravenese’s witch-populated adolescent hormone engine BEAUTIFUL CREATURES is a plodding, messy, heart-on-sleeve tangle of supernatural gibberish bolstered by occasional flashes of wit and a cauldron full of good intentions. By TWILIGHT standards, it’s practically Powell and Pressburger.

Alcon entertainment’s “Beautiful Creatures” encourages fans to seek out their fate this valentine’s day!
