The 2007 supernatural thriller , directed by David S. Goyer, is often described as a teenage take on the movie Ghost . While critics generally panned it for its "dull and confusing execution", audiences have found it to be a compelling "sleeper gem" that explores themes of alienation and redemption. The Film Experience
The story follows Nick Powell (Justin Chatwin), a high school senior who is brutally attacked and left for dead by a gang led by Annie Newton (Margarita Levieva). Trapped in a ghostly limbo where no one can see him, Nick discovers his only spiritual connection is with the girl who almost killed him.
Reviewers praise the moody, atmospheric cinematography and the "phenomenal" 2007-era alternative rock soundtrack.
Some find the acting "emotionless" and the plot convoluted, with a shift from mystery to romance that some viewers found unconvincing. Blu-ray Technical Review (1080p HD)
The 1080p/AVC transfer from Disney is noted for its exceptional clarity and stylistic, desaturated look.
