3.5 out of 5 stars
This movie is a little better than average but still did not deserve the high rating of 4. I know it might seem weird that I hadn't seen this movie because it is fairly recent but I didn't become a true movie freak until around 2006-2007 and this movie came out in 2005. I have always loved movies but I used to be able to control the problem--- now I just embrace it-- WOOT WOOT!!!
The movie is about a man whose wife commits suicide one night and he and his daughter have to cope with it. They cope by moving upstate to get away from the city. The girl (play by the amazing Dakato Fanning in one of her BEST roles I have ever seen) begins to have an imaginary friend named Charlie who is doing horrible things. People get hurt and begin to die and it comes together in an ending that is quite unique and hard to predict. Honestly the only reason I knew what was going to happen is because of my good friend-- WIKIPEDIA- haha.
The movie is a psychological thriller down to the truest sense of the word. It plays with your mind and also the minds of the actors. My major issue with the movie is that Robert Dinero shouldn't be playing a dad but a grandfather. They tried to make him look younger but it just wasn't working unless they said somewhere they adopted the child and then I might have believed it.
I do recommend renting this movie, I personally bought it at a yard sale for $1 which is cheaper than renting.
Let me know what you think of the movie-- love it? hate it?
