  • Yeah the only example I can think of that doesn’t fit that mold is American Mary

    the cool premise in which isn’t a world, but a hypothetically possible situation (desperately broke medical student turns to stripping, which leads to back alley surgery for gangsters, which leads to black market body modification surgery) and the letdown isn’t the characters or plot, it’s the hamfisted script and acting lol


  • Daybreakers (2009)

    Excellent premise: vampire post-epidemic society trying to deal with the scarcity of blood, ethical ramifications of keeping the remaining humans sedated for blood harvesting, technical challenges like adapting infrastructure and vehicles to be sun-proof, etc.

    The only thing I clearly remember is the premise, cuz the plot, characters, dialogue, action, etc. was all dog trash

    Actually, I do remember how badly it mangled the social commentary on the vampires who couldn’t afford blood. Perfect setup for depicting the inhumanity of artificial scarcity and they botched it.
