The Film Noir Experience

Former musician/Yale Professor/Drunk and Architect (I think) look to complete the circle of love by adopting an older child after a terrible and traumatizing still birth. They are a couple with secrets. He cheated on her drunk ass. She once passed out and almost let one of their non-stillborn children drown. Dr. Yaley Lush still has horrific nightmares about the still birth and feels incredibly guilty about it. So, they go to the orphanage and pick out the quiet kid from Russia painting and ignoring the festivities downstairs. She turned out to be a total psychotic bitch with secrets of her own.

This film was boring. Worse, the "twist" was something we guessed fifteen minutes in. It got points (okay, a point) for allowing to make a reference to the Tales from the Crypt in which a ribbon worn as a choker is the only thing keeping a girl's head on her shoulders. That was it. The soundtrack wasn't great. The acting couldn't save it. One of the other girl's in my car at the drive in fell asleep. This doesn't even get a meh.
