  Spooky & very entertaining.
  
  Together with Inside Man one of the two most original films in which the incredible Mr Washington has starred. Watch with an open mind!

  A creep fest
  
  Densel Washington always gives a good performance and this is no exception. Very creepy from beginning to end with a great twist in the final scene

  Time is on my side
  
  Classic. Denzel excels in this supernatural type thriller with a twist. Think of Seven with an invisible culprit and you are not far away.

  A supernatural thriller
  
  It took me a little while to grasp what was going on but when I started to follow the plot I have to agree that it is compelling viewing.

  Time to watch a burner.
  
  A very original and fab film, highly watchable and unusual. Denzel is on top form as a detective hunting down an evil and terrible serial killer.

  Homicide detective John Hobbes (Denzel)witnesses the execution of a demonic serial killer Edgar Reese (Elias Koteas). Soon after the execution the killings start again, and they are very similar to the style of Reese.
  
  Co-stars the amazing Donald Sutherland....
