Review of Morella

Morella (1999)
Futuristic Poe retelling in the dark.
13 July 2003
This movie was so absurd it was hysterical. Okay, its the near future and this genius geneticist creates a clone of her screwed up self before she dies. Somehow this clone becomes the child of her on job paramour (Guest) and then everything goes straight to hell. The clone (Sarah) does the typical Bad Seed faire complete with cloying choir music and jarring violins. Add to this the annoying preponderace of poorly lit sets and the occasional but pompous narration and you have a film that literally drains the life out of you as you watch. I wouldn't recommend it not even on a whim.
