leplatypus I thought at first that this movie happens in France, because of this green country, old mansion and french actor. But, it is located in Canada that gives me another reason to make a trip there.The story is not original because a love story beyond grave has already been told in "Ghost" or "Always". But, here, the entire movie relies on the performance of Andie and she's excellent as always. It's not a common thing to have an actress of her age being the focus of an entire movie thus her fans (like me) should be happy.In addition, it's has been a great pleasure to see again the wonderful "Lois" (Margot Kidder) past her middle life too. She is always so dynamic, mindful and her voice will be forever unique.However, the script would have been better written because Andie is unfortunately very passive: She witnesses very strange things but never show reaction except fear and anguish and keeps all for herself. This isn't very believable.At last, the movie is called the "Last Sign" and if I have seen signs, I wonder which is the last because none struck me very much.
vocklabruck The first thing I want to say about this movie is that it reminded me this movie called The Entity somehow. Is it a coincidence that the woman had 1 teenage boy and 2 little daughters? Mmm... Maybe a coincidence or maybe because it was a cliché family left after the dad's death. The part that especially reminded me that movie is when the woman took the children in her car in the middle of a storm and took them to her sister's without explanations. The woman seeing that bellboy and talking with him also made me feel I was watching The Shining again.Why do I think this movie is bad? The plot is weak, very weak. There are some laughable characters, for example the guy next door that conquered the woman's heart in a snap! Gosh, a couple of days and she was crazy about him. Even the 3 children were crazy about him!!! The other laughable character is that woman in the chemistry lab, who is supposed to be a human resources personnel. WTF??? Does she work in human resources and she is a kind of witch or something??? This character made the movie to become a comedy.Another bit of comedy is that mom keeps telling her boy "Be careful with your motorbike" and stuff while she is a disaster driving her car! Take a look at how she drives and you will understand.The acting was very bad and Andy Mc Dowell is beautiful but she looked quite old here, what happened with her face? All I can save in this movie is some great camera movements and the effects when the husband ghost appeared, for example, when he appeared reflected in a glass. I really enjoyed the moments when the husband appeared.
Gerard ORourke The acting with the exception of Andie MacDowell is awful, especially from Samuel Le Bihan (who plays the character Marc), who is so wooden its almost funny. The rest of the actors make do with a script that no one could save. No matter how good they were.In summary, the script and plot are just plain pathetic. I would advise to give this film a miss.Technical error: during the film, the car can not start, and you find out later it was due to a flat battery. However, the car's engine was turning over, just not firing, which if the director knew anything, is not a sign of a faulty battery.
donkeyfur OK, I am a red-blooded female. Sometimes I rent a flick simply because a good-looking actor is in it. When I saw the DVD box for this one I recognized Samuel Le Bihan from "Brotherhood of the Wolf". Since I thought he was "all that and a bag of chips" in that one, I decided to check him out in this one. Also, I like Andie MacDowell well enough and I was curious to see what their fellow cast mate Margot Kidder (Lois Lane in the Christopher Reeve "Superman" flicks) looks like these days.Undeniably there are much better flicks out there, but this one wasn't all bad. There are a few kinda creepy/mysterious scenes and some interesting camera shots and angles. And, yes, Samuel Le Bihan provided some enjoyable eye candy to offset the creepy-as-usual Tim Roth. By the way, has Roth ever played a sympathetic character? If you like the current hit TV series "Medium" starring Patricia Arquette, you will most likely enjoy this movie. It sort of reminded me of some story lines on that show.In general, I believe film audiences are jaded in the 21st Century. We are desensitized by the plethora of special effects and blast-'em-up extravaganzas with high body counts. It seems that fewer people want to invest the time in a lower-key film, such as this one, in which seemingly random details come together in at least a somewhat cohesive whole at the end. That's not to say the film wrapped up all loose ends, because it didn't. That is one reason I didn't give it more stars. Another reason is the uneven acting. In other words, some of the cast provided more convincing portrayals than others. And, Margot Kidder is as goofy as ever. I hadn't seen her in anything in a number of years.For my time and money, I would take this film any day over "The Blair Witch Project", which, to me, is the worst movie ever.
