I Still See You

Really enjoyed this for the following reasons: 1) Mystery aspect, sci-fi aspect, horror aspect.

2) Told a story where I didn't think " man I have seen this plot a hundred times" I couldn't guess the ending right away. Didn't end with some lame or annoying conclusion.

3) The intrigue builds through out 4) Elements are dropped along the way that actually get used in the plot progress.

5) Has a dark feel to the environment, the characters and the main point.

Not sure about the negative reviews, I just think sometimes people enjoy cutting down something that they didn't invest the work to make. Or maybe they expected a Spielberg epic or a Transformers CGI fest.

Give it a try.

I really liked underlying premise of this movie, specifically that the millions of people killed by a cataclysmic event became ghosts, or remnants. In addition to this novel concept, the acting was good, and the characters' motivations and actions were logical and intelligent. In fact, I can't think of a single instance where extremely poor decision-making was used to advance the plot, setting this apart from most horror/thriller movies.

On the minus side, there were a number of plot holes and cheesy bits. Although they weren't bad enough to ruin the movie, there were enough of them that I can only give it a 7/10.

Overall, it was an enjoyable movie, and I would recommend it.

I watched this at home on DVD from my local library. My wife chose to skip, not her kind of movie.

Bella Thorne is the main character, high schooler Veronica (Ronnie) Calder. Every morning at the breakfast table she witnesses exactly the same thing, her father sitting there, reading a newspaper, smiling and nodding to her, then his image dissolves and disappears. The title is a reference to this.

Some ten years earlier in the Chicago area an incident during experiments with a heavy particle accelerator causes a flash that killed hundreds, including Ronnie's dad, and their images return every day.

But that just sets the story up. The meat of it becomes the search for a person who may be a serial killer, and may be tracking Ronnie so that an "exchange" can be made to bring someone else back from the dead.

It is a pretty interesting take on the ghost theme and I enjoyed watching the movie, although I will not count it among my favorites.

After the explosion of a research laboratory in Chicago known as The Event that kills a great number of people, the living people cohabit with ghosts known as remnant especially near the ground zero. Ten years after The Event, the teenager Veronica Calder (Bella Thorne) has classes about the remnant laws with her teacher August Bittner (Dermot Mulroney). She also coexists peacefully with the remnants until the day she is threatened by the mysterious remnant Brian (Thomas Elms). She seeks help with her schoolmate Kirk Lane (Richard Harmon), who is an expert in remnant, and they need to the Chicago's No-Go Zone, a place forbidden to humans, to learn secrets about The Event and the killer.

"I Still See You" is a surprisingly good supernatural thriller with an original ghost story. The screenplay does not have the usual clichés of the genre and the acting is good. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

I totally understand if you already voted not useful. I can't always explain what I think or what goes on ... thought process and all that. I just type what comes to mind. Now I'm not suggesting the scriptwriter here had the same inclinations. Especially because this is based on a novel that I have not read yet (so no comparisons I can make to that).

Interesting premise, interesting story to say the least. Gets way cliche towards the end, so a bit of letdown. At least I felt that way. I would have gone higher rating, if it didn't try to just ... do the easy way out. But still for the very powerful beginning and a lot of visual and otherwise treats this serves you, I think one can watch this and be entertained (if you are into horror science fiction stuff).
