It's arguably justified in the sense that she's the youngest and therefore presumably the least culpable, but it sends a mixed message, right?<br /><br />Anyway, I wouldn't argue for a second that this isn't fundamentally and constitutionally a fridging movie. A good one, sure, and (with notable exceptions) as respectful as that kind of thing could get. Yeah, I'll argue that. But it's not worthwhile to ignore it.<br /><br />I kind of wonder if "metal" is quite the right term, btw. I'm no musical expert.

Glad I'm not crazy!<br /><br />And I don't know, it's all down to everyone's reading I guess, but I felt like Mandy had more of a problem with its female characters than a lot of people were giving it credit for. It's not like ANYbody was well-etched but the title character doesn't seem nuanced enough to not have her death count as "fridging" and Cage sparing that one random sexy cult member is mystifying. I don't know, maybe I wasn't in the mood. <br /><br />Also, I get a bit frustrated having to deal with a lot of the older generation of horror fans, who assume that if something is "metal" that automatically makes it "good," so maybe I have trouble recognizing when things actually ARE. <br /><br />Anyway, it's very pretty.
