Know why I never post on fandomsecrets? I like sharing my shame.

From the trailer, I wanted rather badly to see this film:



...and then I learned the one on the right is not a boy. Now I'm no longer interested.

Migod, could I get any more shallow.

The thing I like most about that film is that it parallels so neatly with Twilight. It's essentially the same story, only if the sparkly veneer of repressed mormon housewife/early teenager sexuality is scraped of. This is how creepy and squicky Twilight should be.

*SPOILERS*

It's got the protaganist being romanced by a much much older person who stalks them, lets themselves into their bedroom at night, does the whole 'Be friends with me... but keep away from me... but love me... but you're not safe with me...' thing and draws thr protaganist away from his family. We've also got a selfish (possibly to the point of psychosis) main character who can't relate to those around him/her and is 'dazzled' by the interest shown in them by this older person.

I give you a much better and Swedish version of Twilight (though it may have been written first).

Thank you for the spoiler warning--I don't think I'll read your spoiler text because I'd rather not know anything else! But clearly I needed the spoilers for the gender issue, otherwise I wouldn't see it. ^_^
