The movie had me until they fucked it up with the whole multiple personalities thing... bad bad bad move. Here is a chance for a movie to be truly creepy and scary with a great cast and some intelligent writing, and then they turn around and basically say "we're tired. We can't come up with a decent spooky ending, we're going to fuck with your mind." (Okay, it wasn't exactly that....) At the point where John Cusak is sitting in the straight jacket, I went "oh screw this shit" and actually grabbed my jacket and got up to leave. My friend pleaded with me to stay, so I did. Not only did they screw with your mind (I don't mind a good mind fuck movie; The Sixth Sense; The Others) but this one seemed like they did it purposefully just to screw with you, were as the two movies mentioned before, kept the story going with the same sense they had started it with, and made the movie complete with the twist endings. This one veers off and hits a huge tree then bursts into flames. Lastly, after they pull this twist out of their asses, they keep the movie going for god knows how long! Okay, uhm, none of these people are real, they're in the mind of a fucked up mental patient, they're not really dead, they're not really going to die, why the hell should I care about them?? Much less, why the hell would I want to keep watching them?? Once I found out they weren't real, I didn't give a flying hell what happened to them, why was I forced to sit there and watch twenty more minutes of imaginary characters??? Waste of time. Too bad, the movie really had something going for it, it really really did, and then the writers pulled this shit... ruined the whole movie. Rating: 2/10 |
