Don't they have any lights in that school?


I just saw this movie and am not sure if anyone else asked this question but...

Why is that school so dark, especially in the cafeteria?

reply

LOL....for REAL...I think they did the dim lighting just to give it the proper "mood," but they went way overboard with it and it ended up being pretty annoying.

Most of the movie was tapped at night. That's why it was so dark.

if it was TAPED at night, don't you think they would turn lights on.

lol, exactly what i thought, doglover135.

reply

Yeah, it is so annoying. I guess they were doing it to give it the feeling of a very unhappy place.

reply

I KNOW!! first i ent 'ok it's dark...it's adding drama. i guess it won't be for long' then it stayed dark for the WHOLE entire movie. i couldn't see anything.

reply

'Cause its' a poor crappy-ass school is why. That school is total crap.

reply

Umm...it's an effect to feel the darkness of he movie. It's pretty obvious.

reply

actually thats one of the best schools in the state of louisiana...darkness was purely for effect.

reply

When you say the school is "dark" we know they don't mean lots of blacks....one black kid in the whole school? Eek. Emily should of beat Nikki ass long time ago.

reply

Its for effect and the director mainly makes horror movies

reply

lol..the first thing my friends said when i stuck teh movie on was..Why is i so dark ...and i had to agree with her.

Thats Mrs Black to you!

Ha Ha, it was just for dramatic effect. But it was kind of geting on my nerves too. You were seeing this movie through the life of Vanessa's eyes. In her world everything was dark, solem, and depressing.

I think they were trying to emphazise that high school can be a dark, evil place .. which of course it is.

Except for when you leave.

I completly agree with you moonlightkisu...but I was wondering WHY it was so darn dark. Whjen I saw light again I was shocked.

yeah i just saw the movie yesterday with my friends and we all kept complaining were like WHY DONT THEY HAVE ANY FLIPPIN LITES ON? it kinda got annoying after a while.

reply

I kept saying wow their school is like mine, * they just built our multi million dollar school and now they can't afford to pay the light bill until they get the school paid off this year...so for a few months like only half the lights stay on in the hall way and lunch room* it makes it kinda cool though lol*

It's because they are all vampires and they cannot be exposed to light.

reply

oh i totally agree. I was like why is it so dark, and then i was like it'll probably go away. And then it was dark everywhere.

I was thinking the same thing but then I remembered what I learned in English in my Junior year. It's only dark when something mean or hurtful is going to happen & it's more within high school. And plus the raining happens when Vanessa breaks down.
