people watch movie for a variety of different reason . this movie do not have the big budget and there no special effect and no car chase and there no explosion . actually reality doesn not have much of these either . at least not in my life . this be a very real movie about very real people and none of them perfect in any way but together they be put into a situation where they learn to explore and accept what be different and that in turn make order out of chaos . i be not prepared to limit the possibility of parapsychology and since i be neither an expert nor use the full extent of my own brain . so watch this movie for the character . it be brim full of a whole cast of wonderful quirky folk . within the first three minute kiefer sutherland enacts detective michael hayden life superbly and he keep develop the character throughout the movie . excellent act and very believable . henry czerny could not have be cast well and the rapport between his harvey and kiefer mickey enhances the oppositeness of their character . i thoroughly enjoy the cranky landlady and mr ramsay and i be sure she and my mother in law be good friend . there a host more of these wonderful character but space be limit here so watch the movie and enjoy them .
