Sorry, this movie sucks

Am I Missing Something?

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I agree with the previous review.. not enough is explained.. there is a particular story line with a little boy and his old soul, I would have loved to see played out and explained but they never go there. He looks at the lead Jade as if he knows her. is smitten with her it seems , talks about having been "old" He even sings a song only people from the past would know and it's never explained. Also they never wrap up the husband storyline, which is odd because he checks on her during the movie . I am not sure why they included that if they weren't going to include him in the rest of the movie.. The father being so ugly to his daughter is odd, but then when they wrap up this "mystery" which honestly, they should have delved a little deeper into it I am thinking, the father and daughter reconcile way too quickly for him having been so abusive to her in the past and recently. I would give this 3 stars out of 6.. only because I love mysteries :) and at least it had a twist.. Rachel Hunter doesn't do a bad acting job.. she looks pretty worn and ragged throughout and very confused.. but the conclusion wraps up too neatly..and actually it's like a bad lifetime movie:)but worth a watch.3 stars

Jade Harper is a successful writer who suffers from a slight form of schizophrenia. One day she discovers her husband has an affair with her editor. She flees to Hopewell where she was born, under the pretext of writing a history of the village, only to receive a cold welcome from her father who blames her for her mother's death. As she begins her research she discovers dark secrets surrounding her mother's death... The acting in this movie is bad and the lighting is somber, but the script is the worst component of this boring pseudo-thriller. Never mind that it can't decide what to be: a straight thriller or a ghost story. In the end none of the supernatural elements are explained and the explanation that is given is far less satisfying than that of your average "Murder She Wrote"-episode (and that is saying a lot).Although IMDb originally listed this movie as '2008' it was shown on one of the smaller Flemish stations on July 9th, 2007 under the alternative title "Dead Write".
