Funny how a little care with the production can go such a long way toward making a movie not suck. The premise here – doctor treats mental patient who turns out to be possessed by the spirits of Satanic murder victims – isn’t exactly groundbreaking stuff. But they spent some money on it, getting a cast (Julianne Moore, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and several other familiar faces), good technical quality and – best of all – a few solid chills here and there. My only real gripe was about the ending, yet another sad case of a screenwriter painting himself into a corner with no satisfying way to conclude the tale. Mildly amusing
