Jed is irrational, believing in the intangible and creating grand cause and method out of any sign or gesture. He is the kind of person who rationalizes everything. Joe is a practical and rational thinker, who has an idea that love is just an evolutionary trick to make people procreate. A random event, which results in a person's death, brings philosophy professor Joe (Daniel Craig, LAYER CAKE) to meet scruffy Jed (Rhys Ifans, NOTTING HILL). This drama - masked as a thriller- is a debate on what is love. Then when the mysterious bald-headed machinist Ivan (John Sharian, CALENDAR GIRLS) shows up things go down hill from there, including Reznik causing an accident that maims a co-worker.
His co-workers are now finding their former friend quite strange. Reznik’s major problem is that he hasn’t slept in over a year. Reznik also visits an airport diner to see kind waitress Marie (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, I’M NOT SCARED). Equally as compelling is Jennifer Jason Leigh (THE HUDSUCKER PROXY) as Stevie, Reznik’s favorite prostitute, who really just wants someone to not treat her like dirt for once.

for the role and is literally skin and bones, adding an inherent creepiness over the entire film. Now he creates an atmospheric thriller that succeeds greatly from solid performances and a stellar ending.įirst off, the performance of Christian Bale (BATMAN BEGINS) as Trevor Reznik is amazing. His NEXT STOP WONDERLAND was smart and funny and his SESSION 9 was one of the scarier horror films that I’d seen in ages. Well, not in any really emotional or interesting way.īrad Anderson is an interesting filmmaker. The film captures it a little bit, but doesn't deal enough with why the dead are contacting the living. Part of what makes EVP creepy is the unexpectedness of the voices and their eerie sound.
Many times throughout the film, you say to yourself - hey, that's an interesting idea, I wish they would have done more with that. Jonathan quickly becomes a believer and along with Raymond and bookstore owner Sarah (Deborah Kara Unger, SUNSHINE) they desperately try to contact the deceased. One day, Raymond Price (Ian McNeice, FROM HELL) comes to Jonathan and tells him that Jonathan's loved one has contacted him through EVP means. Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton, BEETLEJUICE) is an architect, who loses a loved one.

The film deals with EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena), which is the belief that ghosts can be recorded on radio and TV channels between frequencies. The major problem with this film is that it takes a pretty creepy idea and makes it boring.
