Hype spoilt it for me

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2002)

WARNING SPOILERS ahead: THE hyped up twist spoilt this movie for me.From the openig credits i was looking for the twist. The year after bruce was shot i had big suspicions, as the film went on my suspicions were proved more and more.Knowing this was a supernatural thriller did not help either. the giveaways were that bruce never spoke to anyone else than Haley Joel Osmond. there was never any interaction between Haley Joels mother and Bruce, his wife never spoke to him, the restaurant scene especially reminded me of ghost, and when Haley tells Bruce he sees dead people that was the final straw. Now if i had known nothing about this film i would have most probably been blown away, this is one of the dangers of being hyped. It was still a good movie though the acting was great, and there was ageneral creepiness to it, and even though i guessed the twist it was still a good idea. i did have problems with it though why did Bruce never wonder why everyone else apart from Haley Joel ignored him,How did Bruce come in contact with him, no one hires dead councellors, why was the girl being poisoned and what was the significance of the red door knob etc.All in all a good movie but the less you know about it the better.
