Negative Positive
Title: is this a comedy???
Review: This has to be one of the strangest mainstream films ever made, but i'm not sure that was entirely intentional. The first part of the movie sets things up well - classic chiller you might say (strange virus, atmospeheric Maine woods). Why then did the producers decide to turn the rest of the film into a made for tv b-movie? Damian Lewis's possession is hilarious, but is this the intended effect? You're left in little doubt that the film makers must be having fun with the audience when the next part of the film plays like some dreaful Independence day type nonsense, with Morgan Freeman completely wasted - he feels tagged on. And after all this, watching the end credits would make you think you'd just been watching Ghostbusters. This is a dreaful but enjoyable film.
Is the review positive or negative?
