![]() ![]() ![]() They had a limited amount of time to get their story across and they did so in the fastest way possible without sacrificing their vision.

There's literally no mention of her past or anything, which is the sort of thing you'd do if you wanted to be more of a religious angle. Anyway, the point is that while they seek to remind you of that demon, it's not like the Lilith in this movie IS actually that demon. Not even Lilith, and I'm assuming they were looking to remind you of the Jewish mythological figure Lilith, who was Adam's (of Adam and Eve fame) first wife in their mythos. That's about as straightforward as you could possibly get, there's no real room to explore much of the characters in depth. This is a movie about four guys, going to an underground strip club or something, and releasing a woman they feel is being kept there against her will and then realizing that they released some sort of murderous demon. I think District 9 made the transition for easily simply because it had a wide variety of themes to choose from and explore in detail. I honestly don't know how I feel about this movie, quite frankly, because while I did enjoy the short in VHS very much, I don't think it quite makes as smooth a transition to feature-length film as other shorts that made the transition to feature-length, like Alive in Joburg, which was the inspiration behind District 9. I know this film seemed familiar in its concept and execution, it's because this is a full-length version of one of the shorts from the original VHS, a fun anthology horror movie. ![]()
