Critic Reviews

William Arnold

A not-bad ghost story that marks a comeback of sorts for its star, Michael Keaton, who hasn't top-billed a movie for almost a decade. Read full review

Steven Rea

Has a low-key tone that works in its favor for a time. Read full review

M. E. Russell

Boring and fundamentally silly. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

It's yet another warm, fuzzy, New-Age tale that cozies us into believing the grave doesn't mean oblivion. Read full review

Marc Savlov

There's not much more to this poorly scripted thriller than exactly one well-done shock moment and Michael Keaton's eyebrows, but, to be fair, Keaton's brows have carried three Tim Burton films nearly on their own, so don't let this dissuade you from seeing the film. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Poor Keaton, a capable actor who was absent from the screen for several years, is hamstrung by the material even more than in last year's dismal "First Daughter." Read full review

Wesley Morris

A moronic exercise in supernatural claptrap. Read full review

This movie had a great concept and touched on topics rarely explored. Although I do not believe in the paranormal this movie was epic and contained everything necessary for it to be suspenseful. Apparently it was a direct to dvd release which only adds to its cult status.

Hugely underrated. I can see how it has so many flaws, but it chilled me and stayed with me in a way that only two other 'horrors' ever have (Mothman, and Midsomer). A very disturbing twist at the end, in my opinion.

I expected this to be a a good scary movie. The commercials made it seem terrifying. This isnt a a good horror/thriller.

Ok movie it's worth a watch. The movie was actually good and kept me interested, but not much happened to him.

A concept that is interesting but a movie that was made horribly and didn't make sense at all. Half the time your watching Michael Keaton watch a screen with a look on his face that he well knows he is in a garbage of a film.

I rented it for 99 cents and still felt like I got ripped off after watching it. I would call it a piece of crap, but that would be insulting to crap.
