I'd like this movie to be a little scarier, a little faster, and not act like no one in the world has ever seen dead people before this kid. The (alleged) ability of some people to see the dead is well-known enough that there are numberous scientific, new-age-y, theological, psychological, and even layman's books devoted to the subject--but this film acts like none of that exists. I know movies aren't reality, etc., but it wouldn't have taken more than a few minutes for the Bruce Willis character to stop at the library and pick up a book or two on the subject (and no, I'm not a lobbyist for the National Library Association :).
