I thought it was an alright movie. I usually pop it in when I have my "bad scary movie marathon" weekends. It was too predictable, and I thought Clea's character changed too quickly. I enjoyed it though. :yes:

I love the Evilution Demon. I have an action figure (because I am a nerd). *nod*

Yeh, it's funny... I mean, it's not strictly a comedy, but that doesn't get in the way of it's funniness.

Clea's character did a complete 180, but who cares! It's fun to watch sometimes.
For me though, it's like I've given birth to my own baby girl. You know? Only she's, like, a big giant girl who smokes and says "shit" a lot.

"You'll learn intern, you'll learn" my all time favourite Clea quote used on a work experience kid in the office. No one else got it, but I did and that's the most important thing.

Do you really think she "learned" or do you think it was an act? I mean, when I saw *ohhh spoliers* that her reflection was the monster, I thought "Hang Onnn" and then I think I went and got a drink or something.

Yep :yes: 'cause (spoilers ahead ;)) of all the bad experiences: her boyfriend, the ppl she trusted, her boss - they were all bad, while she was nice. And the time she turned bad, things were better for her: no asshole boyfriend anymore, the $1 mio bonus gave her the firm = her own business - and she even told her new intern: "Don't be nice!" - followed by your favorite Clea quote "You'll learn intern, you'll learn" :wub: so life isn't nice, and (from time to time) you have to be a monster :angel:

I thought that the movie really sucked...BUT I think that the story had loads of potential. And Clea did a great job in it. Other than the actual monster who was pretty cool, Clea was the best part....and that is me being unbiased.

Well thank you, I appreciated the link more than the name. But if you ask stupid questions you get stupid answers.

I don't think that i was a stupid question. remakes don't have always the same titel than the originals.

I don't know if u r interested in the following facts, but since I spend some time researching I wanna show u my results:

Around 1955 Ed Wood wrote a script for Bela Lugosi in which he should portrait an make-up artist who creates real monsters. American International Pictures (AIP) turned it into a film in 1958, called How To Make A Monster.
In 2001 AIP started to remake 10 of their old films out of the 50s. One of these was How To Make A Monster (2001). Thats the reason why this film is dedicated to the memory of Samuel Z. Arkoff and Jams H. Nicholson the founders of AIP.

HBO broadcasted 5 of the remakes (Creature Films):
1) how to make a monster
2) I was a teenage werewolf
3) earth vs the spider
4) the she-creature
5) teenage cave man
(hope that's correct)

btw How to make a Monster was nominated for best make-up effects in 2002.

I still like that film. :ph43r:

Ed Wood dominates! Have you seen "Glen or Glenda?"

Yeah I like it, but I'm more of a sci-fi person so my favorite is Plan 9. Anyone seen Ed Wood by Tim Burton? I really like all the characters around him. It would have been real cool if Ed Wood was alive today, I really would have liked to see Clea in a horror movie by Ed Wood.
