Directed by David Koepp. Written by Koepp, based on the novel by Richard Matheson. Starring Kevin Bacon, Kathryn Erbe, Illeana Douglas, Kevin Dunn, Jennifer Morrison, Liza Weil and Zachary David Cope.
Plot: after being hypnotized, a man begins having visions of a dead girl.
Tom (Bacon) thinks the paranormal is all a joke, so he gets his wife’s friend, Lisa (Douglas) to hypnotize him. It works and suddenly he’s having grim visions of a 17-year-old girl named Samantha (Morrison) who disappeared six months ago. And that’s all I can say about that or I’d give away the whole movie.
I like that Tom’s wife (Erbe) doesn’t think he’s crazy when he starts telling her about what he’s experiencing. The acting is superb, especially from the cute little boy (Cope). It was entertaining, funny in parts, well-written and very realistic. It was a terrific story and a solid movie.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
