Excellent, old-fashion scares

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2002)

In this extreme world of special effects and CGI, it was refreshing to see a movie that focused on "things that go bump in the night" without spoiling my own excellent imagination with a preconceived notion of what would scare me. The underlying theme of losing and reawakening faith was an unusual gift for a film made in this day and age. Mr. Gibson and Mr. Phoenix shine as two confused human beings, not sure how to face each day, let alone face the possibility of the end of the world. I enjoyed every moment of the film and have already made plans to see it again before it leaves the theatre. This is definitely going to be in my DVD collection.
