I watched Being Human. I know it's not a film, but I watched every series from start to finish in one go, so it's like a film, and it still counts.
I liked it. This isn't the first time I watched it. In the main, it's British Drama at it's best, but, I've got to say that suspension of disbelief has it's limits.
A ghost, a werewolf, and a vampire all living together and trying to be nice, in a world full of other ghosts, werewolves, and vampires, all completely invisible to humanity, I can accept that as a premise. That's fine. It's even fine when they replace the original werewolf, vampire, and ghost with a new werewolf, vampire and ghost, and have them defeat Satan himself. That's fine too.
What I can't accept, what stretches suspension of disbelief to new limits is the number of coats. The ghosts are both female, and don't get to change their clothes at all. The vampires and werewolves are all males. What man owns that many coats? They get through at least two every episode. Some episodes, they get through half a dozen. Who owns that many coats? Even if you did own that many coats, where on Earth would you keep them?
I'm just not buying it. It's completely unbelievable, and ruins an otherwise down to Earth, gritty, realistic series. It's all good, except the coats.
