Review

 

The only witness to the crime was not even there.

Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchett) possesses the gift of psychic powers and supports herself and her family by reading the cards to neighbours who want to know what the future may hold. When the wealthy, beautiful, and sexually promiscuous Jessica King (Katie Holmes) goes missing, her bound and ravaged body begins to haunt Annie through her visions. When the murder investigation becomes short on leads, the police are forced to turn to Annie's special powers for help. The supernatural becomes terrifyingly real when Annie's gift becomes her only hope to stop the killer before she becomes the next victim.

Directed by the acclaimed Sam Raimi, this haunting psychological thriller also features Keanu Reeves, Hilary Swank, Giovanni Ribisi, and Greg Kinnear.

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars Bad imitation of the 6th Sense

Straight away it's clear that this film will be based along the same lines of a supernatural power as The Sixth Sense however, it just does not compare i'm afraid. Film has got some great actors and actresses in but they can only be as good as the script. In this case not very good. If you liked 6th sense stay away from this as it will spoil it, poor imitation.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars A good thought provoking film

If you want a film that will keep you guessing almost to the end then this is a good example to watch. Cate Blanchette is excellent as is Keanu Reeves. His part is so different from the norm. It might not be your average horror movie (no guts or gore) but it is quite scary, and whether you believe in these gifts or not, it is quite thought provoking.

Customer rating: 1 out of 5 stars THIS IS PAINFUL
