There's a Sixth Sense style bait-and-switch going on throughout, and it's a little bit creaky in terms of of whether it ultimately works, but Caruso sells it well. Great film.

Atrocities can't be blamed on being possessed- it's all you. <BR/><BR/>I shudder just thinking about it. Last night I was practically pleading with my brain: "please don't get diseased...please to get diseased..." :D I never, ever want to hear the words DO IT, STACIE in my head...unless there's a bowl of ice cream in front of me and I'm trying to decide whether or not to eat it.<BR/><BR/>Poor Gordon gets a little too stressed out and a little too tired and...Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1160949827468417162006-10-15T18:03:00.000-04:002006-10-15T18:03:00.000-04:00we come to understand that there's the possibility...<I>we come to understand that there's the possibility that evil can lurk within any of us, waiting for a trigger to be released.</I><BR/><BR/>This was my read on the movie to. The person I watched it with pointed out that the main guy hears Simon's voice at the beginning of the movie before his 'triggering' trauma happens, so he read it as a haunting/possession movie. <BR/><BR/>I think thinking of it psychologically makes it much more horrific, though.

I'm kind of torn about that idea. On the one hand, it's a beautiful building, so <I>anything</I> is preferable to tearing it down. <BR/><BR/>To my mind, though, it's sort of like sacred ground, and somehow putting an internet cafe on the site and having people spend ridiculous amounts of money to live where so many people suffered just seems...kinda wrong.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I guess it's just land.<BR/><BR/>Sikechick, I'm with ya. Caruso is bearable in this and pretty much only this, and I think that's more to do with my enjoyment of the rest of the film rather than his abilities. He still employs the "lean the head to one side and flatly intone with an air of superiority" technique he employs everywhere else. I can tolerate it here, but that's about it.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1160930688568191652006-10-15T12:44:00.000-04:002006-10-15T12:44:00.000-04:00This is probably the only thing I've ever liked Da...This is probably the only thing I've ever liked David Caruso in. I love this movie. So spooky and atmospheric.

And then BOOM! Dude dead! He was kind of a sweet character.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit, I guessed the ending very early based on obvious clue but I thought the film was amazing. AMAZING. I remember being engulfed by the building as if I were there. Atmosphere and methodical pacing count for a lot when you know what you're doing.<BR/><BR/>Amanda By NightAmanda By Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910620012465381103noreply@blogger.com
