I had read that this was a pretty scary movie so I was looking forward to this. I have recently found a great love for horror and this film disappointed me if I am going to be honest. It made me jump once, and I felt it was too story orientated and not scare orientated!
I did enjoy the psychological aspect of the film, with the constant fantasies and flashbacks proving exciting stuff, but the whole Vietnam story just grated. It was nice to see a small role by Ving Rhames as a fellow Vietnam vet. One moment made me laugh out loud, and that was when Tim Robbins started crying over a picture of Macaulay Culkin. It was just such a surreal moment when the boy from Home Alone was on the picture, but Culkin was Robbins' dead kid so it made sense in the end.
The demon actually looked menacing but you only saw them for half seconds. One scene which did sorta creep me out was when the demon seemed to have sex with Robbins' girlfriend. Freaky! I want to say I enjoyed the twist at the end, I like that none of that happened and that it was all a sort of Purgatory rather than real life. Finally Robbins and Home Alone kid got to go to heaven.
Anyway as I was so indifferent about this film it gets a 6 out of 10. Hazaar!
