You'll either get it or you won't

Rating: 5/10 (8 December 1999)

Oh dear I was so looking forward to being scared and surprised by this movie. I knew it was a huge twist at the end movie but sadly I figured it out after the opening scene. Once you have figured it out you can't go back and enjoy the movie. It is wasted on you and you're left wondering why the twit next to you can't grasp it. The whole movie is very carefully put together to hide the ending, every word and movement has been painstakingly choreographed (especially in the restaurant) but all I wanted to was shout " don't you get it, **** ********* *********!!!!!" Still there are a few creepy moments and the spirits range from scary to gross to downright hilarious looking (the cyclist made us laugh out loud, what an expression!) Collette is very good and a scene towards the end is beautifully played by her and the kid who is also great. Bruce's wife in the movie is painfully underwritten once the movie gets going but maybe they had to do this as it was the scenes between her and Willis that were most likely to give the gme away. Bruce is okay, but you do expect him to go and shoot some ghouls at any minute, no action in this though. All in all not a bad movie and if like most you remain in the dark you should get a pleasent surprise, but shame on you for being so slow in the first place!!
