I found myself very caught up in this movie, at least at the beginning, and any credit I give to this movie, is Lacey Chabert, she was fantastic!! But thats where it ends. I seem to be very good at figuring out who the killer is, and I like it when a movie is able to completely baffel me, but I felt out and out lied to, they whole time they lead you in one direction and then suddenly they decided to go in a completely different direction at the end, they gave no hit to it at all, thats not misleading that very bad writing and planning, someone did not think at all!I felt the movie would have been much better if they had stuck to the plot that the lead you on, they also seemed to not answer anything, why did Jane(maria) burn down the professor's house.Its a great pity as I felt it started out as a relatively good movie.

Surprise ending and twists are suppose to help dress and ignite the silver screen as well as deliver food for thoughts to audiences, but this one just turned out its own lights.Now, imagine a top psychiatrist/serial killer who managed to suppress all of his own evil killings... and now presently working to help uncover the deaths of 4 female spirits (one of them happens to be his own wife) whom he personally buried under a salt mine. Working along one of the victim's sister, a cop and a psychic.Now that's plenty of resources at his disposals, not to mention the four ghosts whose memories were intact and a psychic... a psychic! You'd think they all knew it was him as soon as he walked in the front door! But Noooooooooope! The movie kept pointing the killer in all different directions, other than the evil doctor himself, which as it turned out, surprise surprise!... the ending twist of the movie. What a shame.This could have been really good should the killer be someone else, good as in it would have made more sense and I would have given this one 8/10.

I found the writing in this movie absolutely terrible.The only thing that saved this movie from me rating it as a 1 out of 10 was Lacy Chabert's performance who I thought played the multiple personalities really well. For me she was definitely the highlight of this movie.Dina Meyer was pretty as always but I found her role pretty bland so I don't think one can say that her acting was great.As for the male lead, Armand Assante, his interpretation of the role reminded me mainly of doctors in cheese 1980s hospital series.All of that I could have lived with. However the terrible, terrible, terrible end/solution, the role of the psychic and even the role of psychic were just some of the worst writing I have seen in a long time.

I found this to be a fairly good movie.The acting was good, I doubted Lacey Chabert could pull off multiple personalities but she was much better than I expected. Dina Meyer is pretty as ever and Assante was good, though far less animated than I'm used to. He was playing a psychiatrist turned writer so I guess it fit.The story was gripping and kept you interested, though at times wondering why the characters couldn't figure out what you had. (Don't be too smug ;) The end was abrupt and I think they could have done a better job, but overall I would say that this movie would be well received by most.
