1. No
Unless you're in love with Michael Keaton or need to see every BOO!!! picture I'd recomend against it.

Without giving anything away, I think the story seemed very loose. Like they had enough story for about 30 minutes or 40 minutes for an episode of Outer Limits and stretched it too far. Lots of danglers of some plot points, and lots of plot points that show up undeveloped. As far as the acting, it didn't get in my way. I personally like Michael Keaton.

Anyway the story felt like it could have been better and I wouldn't waste my time. If you rent it or watch it on HBO I doubt you'll make it all the way through.

2 stars

My rating system
5 stars - Must see for everyone
4 stars - Good movie, Must see if you like the genre.
3 stars - Decent enough but flawed in some way. Rent it if you love the genre.
2 stars - Not worth your time. Could have been good, but wasn't. Watch only if you must.
1 star - Bad. Stay away. Nobody will like it unless you have some sort of mental issue.
Cool World - Worst Movie Ever

2. Absolutely not!
I saw it on HBO last week. The word "sucks" comes to mind. :(

3. No.
Watched it the other night nad now wish I had that 110 minutes back. I found it slow and vague. Keaton is one of my favorite actors but his performance was was weak in this dog.

4. I thought it was OK.
Entertainingly creepy. I'm easily entertained, though.

5. Okay. I've started watching on HBO.
I'm easily entertained, too.

Honestly, I can't find anything else I care to watch more than a potentially dumb movie.

Thanks for the input. :)

6. Do you get STARZ with your cable, because Twin Sisters is
a much better movie and it's on Early Premiers.

Nominated Best Foreign Film in 2005.
