- Supernatural tale of father-son relationships and male-bonding that becomes an increasingly silly thriller involving a serial killer. Its appeal appears to lie in the evasion at its centre: its refusal to accept the fact of death.

  Slow start but great movie
  
  The early part of the movie seemed to labour the 'setting up' details but once 20 minutes or so had passed, the pace changed completely.

  Huh?
  
  Cavziel's rubbish (how does he keep getting any work??).
  
  It kind of takes ridiculousness to a new level, but in a very bad way.

  They really did the research for this film, very believeable. A good plot that kept you guessing right until the end.
