Overrated by far

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 2004)

** Mild spoilers **
This movie is the most overrated movie I have ever seen. The plot is good, most of the acting is acceptable, but it goes wacko when the character John has the ability to heal other people and enormous amounts of flies flows out of his mouth after he has healed people.
What's next? That an alien will jump out of the wardens head and tell people about Jesus?
My problem is that I'm not superstitious or religious, so I have a problem with evil flies living inside people, or that healing takes place. If there are flies of evil living inside of you, or you keep that as an option, this might be a good movie for you. Keep the flies coming.
The real problem lies in that the movie mixes the genre of realistic drama/action, together with a few strains of fantasy. The genre mixing is completely out of place, and very typical USAian.
