It's not a bad film by any means, it's just disjointed and doesn't know what to do with all the sub-plots going on, and in turn, it never really wraps itself up for a satisfactory conclusion.īut the cast are great, the cinematography is wonderfully bleak and cold, but I fear many will miss the grieving/loss/guilt element of the narrative and see it as a straight up horror. It's a shame that the gift stemmed from sudden loss, because this just seems like a cheap excuse from the makers to make him seem like a 'weirdo' to others, and the on,y one who believes him is involved in a minor sub-plot that becomes a major twist come the end. The film focuses on grieving, forgiveness and guilt, as the immediate characters to Jack perceive his 'gift' as a result of his fathers death, and how the family unit changed when he and his sister became fatherless. After a strange and insecure plane crash, an unusual toxic virus enters a quaint farming. Sheehan excels as our protagonist, not doing his character any favours by playing Jack as a very dis-likable person, but because of his back-story, you can forgive his shortcomings, as the narrative depicts his childhood to be less than pleasurable. With Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Joe Anderson, Danielle Panabaker. If you take Randall & Hopkirk (deceased), then add elements of The Sixth Sense and Ghost, you get this quite gritty, suburban Gothic horror. In fact, everything about him is troubled, and trouble.Īfter a major life event affected him as a child, he has since had the ability to be pestered by troubled souls, dead people, and because of this he is stamped as a mental health problem (but talking to souls in a pub looking very dishevelled and unkempt doesn't help).Īfter a journalist is found dead, and it looking like suicide, Jack is hounded by the soul, because something wasn't quite right about his death, and he's trying to get a message to his loved one.hence the title. Jack is a troubled adult, who's had a troubled life.
Reviewed by FlashCallahan 7 / 10 I see dead people.honestly. Waylon Park was an employee of the Murkoff Company. The prehistory of the horror comes from the name of the informant, for whom you have to play. Here he faced a crowd of terrible psychos - monsters who seized the hospital. It's not that he doesn't want to live a normal life, he can't. The journalist went to the Mount Massive mental hospital, where, for the information received, there were many violations.
But Jack has a sharp mind and a razor wit. If you saw him in the pub - disheveled and drunk, talking to himself - you'd stay well away, think he was disturbed somehow, crazy. Some might call Jack a troubled soul, at odds with the world, unable to conform.
But Jack isn't waiting - they won't leave him alone. It's what we crave, knowing they wait for us. We all want to believe in life after death and imagine loved ones looking over us, feel their presence in a draft of air, or the faint essence of a familiar smell.
