Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
View MoreIt is a performances centric movie
Expected more
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreArriving in the UK to supposedly construct a new hotel, a man gets caught up in a strange murder mystery plaguing the authorities and uses his strange ability to communicate with ghosts to help solve the baffling case.A pretty enjoyable and entertaining effort, this one manages to be quite entertaining when it gets going. The fact that there's very little about what gives him this power and what he's supposed to do with it are glossed over, and even mentioned aloud by the characters at one point which just draws a ton of attention to it, the rest of this is quite thrilling. That there's two main plot threads going on at once, the discovery of his powers and the ongoing murder case, makes for a thrilling pace since both intermingle in strange ways and yet never allows one to dominate at the expense of the other or grow boring altogether which could've happened quite easily in such a film. Though the identity of the murderer is quite easy to figure out, that the sleuthing takes up some pretty interesting avenues and gets put together quite nicely is where that plot works quite nicely, and with the ghostly assists makes it even more enjoyable. The finale is great fun and sets itself up with a touching ending, leaving it on a high note and overall is a rather entertaining feature.Rated R: Violence, Language, children-in-jeopardy and themes of child murder.
View MoreThis isn't a stand out film, but I caught on late night TV, and I was hooked enough to stay awake the couple of hours that this film took to watch.The acting is good, the story feels original (even though there's nothing particularly special about it).It feels like the movie length premier of a brand new supernatural series (think the Dead Zone). There are hints that there's more to the story than we get to see in this film, not a bad thing, but I'm at a loss as to why you'd hint so clearly at there being more stories than the one we're shown, if you had no intention of telling them.Worth a couple of hours if you catch it on TV, or pick it up as a weekly rental. Don't buy it.
View MoreFound this film to be quite enjoyable, considering it dealt with the spirit world and spirits that need a place called home. There is a serial killer loose and Andrew McCarthy,(Michael Lewis),"The Orphan King",'05, gets himself involved with the restoring of a very old Mansion and opens up boxes which contain all kinds of problems he has to face. Michael eventually gets assistance from Detective Pryce,(Amanda Redman),"Sexy Beast",2000, who resents Michael and thinks he is nuts and needs a shrink to solve his vision problems. If you like tales about the supernatural and spirit world this is a good film for you.
View More"The Sight" turned out to be a delight! It was a suspense movie about a serial killer...with a supernatural twist. The protagonist helps find the killer by utilizing his "sight", given to him by a dying woman. He has the ability to communicate with the dead. What better way to find out who the killer is than to talk to his victims?This movie was entertaining throughout the entire duration (which was only 90 minutes). The acting was superb, the entire movie was fast-paced, and the plot played with my mind and kept me at the edge of my seat. The last fifteen minutes left me saying "holy sh!t" , while the clever comic relief left me giggling. One of the best surprise endings I've seen, aside from "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others". I am extremely picky about the types of movies I enjoy...and this one was great. Don't let the fact that it was made for TV scare you off...it's better than most Hollywood blockbusters.
