CGiii Comment

An effective little film if you like the whole ESP thing...

Reeves gives his usual stilted performance, the rest of the cast do a fine job with what they had been given.

The characters that Thornton has created deliver no favours to the mid-west - rednecks and nutters reign supreme.

It's TV fodder with some good actors - bread and butter for big names.

Strange.

The(ir) Blurb...

When Jessica King goes missing, all eyes turn to Annabelle Wilson. Not as a murder suspect, but as a clairvoyant. Many of the towns folk go to Annabelle for help, and Jessica's fiancée, Wayne Collins, turns to Annabelle for possible guidance. Annabelle feels that she can't help, but this doesn't stop her from constantly getting visions of Jessica's fate.
