After an attack leaves him in limbo - invisible to the living and also near death - a teenager discovers the only person who might be able help him is his attacker.File this under "supernatural teen film". It's part Ghost and part The Sixth Sense which plays more like a Twilight Zone episode for the Abercrombie set, served with side helpings of redemption and teen angst.
I had a lot of questions really while watching, but the hardest thing to buy was how a cute, tiny little teen girl was somehow such a bad ass. Yeah, right. Magically though, when she took off the evil beanie she was wearing, she somehow became good though. Beanie means meanie, hair down means no frown.
In one scene the cops want her for the murder, they find her... but she jumps a chainlink fence to get away. Nobody goes after her, the area wasn't surrounded, nobody shoots her in the leg... nothing. Just an "aww man, we didn't get her" look as she's slowing jogging away. Also, the teen's body is hidden in an area where the police already looked, but for some reason one guy panics (who actually had nothing to do with it) and they decide to move the body... to right by a road where it can be seen... and a few feet from water but not actually in the water for some reason. They never notice the guy is alive either somehow. Then somebody tells the cops and they go to retrieve it, where it's near a dam that is going to open and flood in 15 minutes... but apparently they don't call ahead and tell them to not open the dam for some other unexplained reason. Also the guys "best friend" behaves completely irrationally the entire film.
All-in-all though, minus some of the absurd plot points (like the end, but I won't get into that), it had it's entertaining points I guess. The characters were OK and the movie is sort of slick at times. I liked the soundtrack and keeping with the teen theme, lots of scenes played more like music videos or an episode of The OC.
It doesn't really end up being awful I think, just pretty forgetful.
5/10
