So we start out here wiht some blindfolded dude seeing some vision or something. Oh so he is getting paid to tell an old woman or not if he can see ghosts or not. Ghosts of her dead husband. But when woman's son whines about it, he leaves envelope of his payment behind. Well at least he doesn't appear to be a crook.
+1 Star for not being a crook.
Next he's at the beach, confronted by a writer looking for someone who supposedly can see the dead. He agrees to take her on to his next 'gig'. So some loon wants him to talk to a dead boy. And Girl writer is not freaked out by loon pointing a gun at all???
-1 Star for no reaction to having a gun pulled on dude and girl doesn't react at all
LOL, so later on a woman who used his services leaves him his own Island. The son wants to buy it from him but he doesn't want to sell. He's keeping the island!!! The Son threatens to kill him before he'll let him on that Island!!
So John, the seer of dead people, he goes to another 'client' and this time he actually is SEEN by a dead person. He tells his writer GF that has never happened before....
Okay so really a lot of scenes towards the end and we get to where the Millionaire Son and Uncle and doing everything they can to wrest this Island away from John. They really don't believe that he can see dead people. John throws a monkey wrench into their plan, however.
They try to torture John into signing over the Island. There's not really much that's scary or even interesting.
-1 Star for being pretty boring...
In the end John has a long talk with Dead people and gets his Island.
4/10

Just... Boring.
Not for all but a quirky hard film
This is a mixture of neo-noir style that houses highly unlikable characters. I thought loudly multiple times "That's awful! She's awful! Why are you doing anything with her?!" But the quirks and harshness pull together for the end moment, subtle and assumed, that breathes a quick moment of hope for the main character, downtrodden by his life, struggling with loss, and abused by so many. The unknown mystery at the heart of the film kept me engrossed even through the harsh nature of the film. If you like oddball and odd films, this brings that to the psychic neo-noir genre.
Both the actress who plays Valerie Kruger
and the sound are SO bad, I couldn't go on watching. Difficult to believe that all three of these people (two for sound, one for acting) are experienced professionals because their product is just awful.
Everybody else and the writing seemed interesting, as far as I got.
But I couldn't stand anymore.
I cannot recommend this film.
