Superior Supernatural Thriller

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2006)

This film kept me interested from the get go - and there aren't many movies that I can honestly say that about. I can usually spot a plot hole at a hundred miles but this film just saw me suspend my disbelief and enter into the the (evil) spirit of the thing.
The cast are uniformly excellent. Yes, even Keanu! He turns in the best acting performance I've ever seen him do. Pacino's performance is wonderfully measured - from subtle to all out ham. And the dialog is excellent.
I was slightly disappointed with the climax - but only slightly - and as others have pointed out the film just keeps you guessing throughout - despite all the advertising telling you the real biggie before it even starts - it still proves to be gripping and well-worth watching. Recommended.
