Watch Nina Forever For Free

That was an excellent one.

Simply A Masterpiece

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I really enjoyed Nina Forever, it's like a really black comedy, that shows how good a film can be made on a tiny budget.The main focus is around a character called Nina who tragically dies, leaving her boyfriend to pick up the pieces of his life, but then she comes back.While being very graphic and very sweary Nina Forever is also very very charming, it's a beautiful story of loves lost, loves found and loves twisted grip.I gather the film was shot on a budget of around $13,000 but took a very long time to make. The wear does show as one of the characters does age a little during the film, but it's good. No it's all good.The film is funny, horrible and utterly cool. It's a prime example that low budget British Horror does have a place in society. And it's also a first rate top notch film masterpiece regardless of country of origin.

Nina Forever is the second horror film I have seen this year employing a supernatural context to examine the problems of an excessively possessive ex-girlfriend. The first one was Burying the Ex, but its general tone had been more humorous and playful, while Nina Forever employs deep metaphors in the shape of a bloody naked ghost which appears while the characters Rob and Holly are having sex. Sure, there are also generous portions of black humor in said premise, but co-directors and co-screenwriters Ben and Chris Blaine amenably deal with the "widowhood" concept, as well as the difficult task of forgetting an ex-couple in order to enter into a serious engagement with another person. However, "forgetting" isn't the right word; in fact, that's where the dramatic knot of Nina Forever lies on. During their long relationship, Nina was an essential part of Rob's life, and Holly's presence will never be able to erase it, despite how intense and sincere this new love might be. So, how can they ignore that (literal) presence invading and transforming each moment of the incipient relationship? That's what the characters have to find out while facing the bizarre challenges of their "romantic triangle"; and even though their decisions don't always seem logical or even rational, actors Abigail Hardingham, Cian Barry and Fiona O'Shaughnessy express intense and realistic feelings, making the audience plunge into the confusing (and undoubtedly macabre) situation. The Blaine brothers employ an unusual narrative style, telling the story with chronological games which sometimes invert the normal order of the scenes (ie, we first see the consequence, and then the cause); that occasionally feels like an affectation, but it generally contributes to highlight the contradictions of the morbid romance, and generate suspense which wouldn't exist otherwise, because the horror is more cerebral than physical. And, well, I can't stop mentioning the sex scenes in which the trio faces their most difficult moments. In those sequences, the Blaine brothers created a simultaneously sad, sensual and disturbing atmosphere which seduces at the same time it repels; they reminded me of the dreamlike scenes of the strange film Excision... even though they have more dramatic validity here. As I previously said, Burying the Ex took a completely different focus than the one of Nina Forever, but that doesn't mean that both perspectives lack of validity. Sometimes, romance ends as a tragedy, and sometimes, as a comedy. The important thing is recognizing it on time and getting ready for the emotional aftermath which will chase us afterwards.

NINA FOREVER is a weird, low budget British horror comedy that has no horror and no comedy. I'm not really sure what it is or what it even wants to be, expect to say that it seems to copy the American comedy movie LIFE AFTER BETH in the tale of a guy who keeps being haunted by his dead girlfriend, killed in a car accident.What it boils down to is that NINA FOREVER is a mess of a film. It's long, slow, and has a boring script that drags the viewer down through endless dialogue scenes that go around in circles and add nothing to the narrative. The only thing it succeeds in being is grotesque, with lots of icky sex scenes in which a bloody corpse comes into play. I also found the whole film to be oddly depressing because it's so poorly achieved.Unlike other reviewers, I didn't have a problem with Fiona O'Shaughnessy's acting as the oddball Nina. She's weird and has an annoying personality, yes, but I thought that was the point. No, my problem is with the two protagonists in this film, both of whom are hopeless. They're given characters so one-dimensional that they might as well be caricatures; both have zero personality, and there's no reason to like them. They meet up in the film and decide to have sex right away, only to find out there's some ghostly stuff going on. So what do they do? Not have sex? No, that would be too easy. Instead the film follows them as they repeatedly try to make things work in the bedroom, which I found ridiculous. There's more to life than sex after all.It doesn't help that Cian Barry and Abigail Hardingham aren't very good actors either, although at least the latter has a nice figure, and perhaps the reason for her casting was her willingness to show it off. In any case, NINA FOREVER is a tough film to watch, purely because it's so dull, vapid, and pointless, and it actually made me feel depressed about human existence. Surely we're not all this shallow?

Surprising small British black comedy of horror, undead, with surreal touches, which highlights the performances of the three young protagonists, specially Fiona O'Shaughnessy, the dead chick. Good script, good acting and interesting game in the editing of scenes, sometimes anticipating what will happen. With funny (and creepy) moments, it is remarkable that this is the first film of the two directors. It reminded me in a way that other British jewel, fantasy genre, called "Cashback", perhaps only because the work environment at the supermarket...A very interesting movie, except at the ending, in the resolving of the love triangle situation, maybe because I expected something more brilliant...
