Lol... Just personal preference. I'm a simple soul, when it comes to films, and so if the story line requires too much concentration to follow or it 'meanders off' a lot, my attention just drifts. I need to be kept engaged and entertained as much as possible, and Mandy 'meandered off' in tangents a bit too much for my liking.

Did you like the new Halloween? For me it was poor, seen it all before and I was pretty much bored within 30 mins of it starting. It had plot holes galore and I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Yes I loved it! Simply because, for me, it did all of the above, which I've described was lacking in Mandy, and the story was nice and simple/straightforward (did 'what it said on the tin', as it were) and didn't need much concentration to follow. It was also quite dark and eerie (not scary, though), which I like, with the creepy music adding to the overall spooky atmosphere.

"Plot holes" aren't something I'd likely notice, far less bother with (a film critic I'm not), as long as I'm kept suitably entertained, which I was!

Marco.
