Simply Perfect

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I just bought it for the reason that Ricci was in it. Somehow she has a special face to act in this kind of flicks. But not every flick she's in it is that good. She does deliver good acting but the story is a bit too unbelievable. Of course it's about the supernatural but some things made me yawn. This must be flick 13412476673656 about Christianity and the mystery surrounding it. But for me it failed somehow due the lack of horror in it. It's just a story, nothing more nothing less. If you can't take gore or blood then this is surely one for you but for the geeks I wouldn't 'gather' with your friends to watch it. The surely would damn you. It's one to watch with the family on a Saturday night kids allowed. At the end you could better go watch The Omen or Stigmata or something like that. Or if the kids are still awake, The Craft. Sorry, Christina Ricci, I invocate you to do better in an "after.life".

The movie starts out pretty great; the first 10 minutes are the makings of a really good movie. There's mystery, death, discovery, ancient underground stuff and amnesia ... all the ingredients of a great premise. By the end, there are twists and revelations - but it's a little slow in coming and a little botched.There are actually two mysteries going on: one involves a mysterious group of people who just "stare" and another involves visions of death. It gets a little confusing what events in the movie pertain to which mystery - so it's a little convoluted.While the middle is a bit slow, what I liked about the movie is the idea behind the plot. It involves a new twist on the crucifixion that I haven't heard before, so that "idea" was kind of cool. That said, the ending is done decently, but not very well - so that takes the film down a notch.Is it worth watching the movie? Sure - if you can catch it on a movie station (like I did on HBO) and don't have to go to any additional effort. Otherwise, it's best to skip it.

This film is about a young woman having horrible visions of the future, after being hit by a car.I didn't know anything about the film before I saw it, and I bought it only for Christina Ricci. It was long ago that I have been so captivated by a film! The plot is new and interesting, and I don't recall seeing anything like it (that's because I don't watch that many horror films). Weird or scary things happen often enough throughout the film, and to my comfort there are no excessive violence or blood. The suspense is kept throughout the film. The idea of the "gathering" is really new to me and I am surprised that this has not come up anywhere before. I really liked the film!

An interesting theme, another film touching on dark or forgotten corners of religion. The slowly developing plot is shot in an uninspiring film location, but I guess that's to prevent a 'dynamic Hollywood' overkill. There is not too much firepower (good) but there are plenty of moments where any viewer would be bored in what is supposed to be thrilling.And then there is Cassy. Running around saying 'you must BELIEVE me / no get away here, it's dangerous / Michael are you OK?' she may be the right actress for the 'watch out Bambi, behind you' type of role. From the first moment I think she is the weakest link in the movie (sorry Christine fans). Her acting is a misfit in terms of motion and emotion. But I guess she can do better than this, I'm sure that any male viewer would give here that chance to prove it(here you go, fans)All in all I will surely remember the interesting plot.
