Oh where to begin....there is nothing particularly suspenseful about this movie. When I think of a ghost seeking justice, I think of What Lies Beneath or something similar. The fact that the victim in this movie is a ghost is virtually inconsequential.
I enjoy Terrence Stamp. This was just not a fitting role for him. A Casanova that quotes Shakespeare and dribbles philosophical parables, does not a great character make.
Everything in this movie just seemed entirely overdone. There was no room for nuance. I felt like that writer/director didn't have any faith in the audience to be able to decipher the clues in the story or the back story of the characters. I like to be able to think for myself with movies. When everything is spoon fed with bites that just can't be chewed, I just feel like shouting, "it was Colonel Muster in the kitchen with the candlestick." Hell's bells - I watched the Village and was still engaged with the suspense even when the audience and main character are informed of the Boogey Man is half way through the movie.
No room here for reflection. It's so obvious whom our serial killer is and that ghost lady might as well have not been dead. A word of caution spelled out on a foggy mirror just isn't scary. It's worse than cliche.
Josh Licas and Carey Elwes are two of my favorite actors as well. I almost wondered if they were behind in paying taxes to make this movie.
That's 97 minutes of my life that I will never get back....sigh....
