Melissa Sagemiller stars as Cassie, a college freshman trying to get over the death of her boyfriend Sean (Casey Affleck) in an auto accident. Making matters worse is that ever since the car crash, which also nearly claimed her own life, Cassie has seemed to hover in a netherworld between the living and the dead, where she believes she's hallucinating some spooky, emotional visitations from Sean. In the meantime, she's also coming under the sway of her mysterious friends Matt (Wes Bentley) and Annabel (Eliza Dushku) as well as an androgynous acquaintance (Angela Featherstone) of theirs. Unsure whom she can trust, Cassie turns for aid to an enigmatic young priest, Father Jude (Luke Wilson), but the ultimate truth about her condition and state of mind may come as a shocking revelation. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Robert Koehler, Variety
A horror movie without horror, a spook pic without spookiness and a metaphysical drama without the slightest spiritual tug.
-
Derek Adams, Time Out
[A] dodo of suspense.
-
Bruce Fretts, Entertainment Weekly
A cinematic oxymoron: the tasteful teensploitation pic.
-
Michael Atkinson, Mr. Showbiz
Soulless, spookless sludge.
-
John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune
The concept of the story is far more interesting than the finished product, which is standard fare at best.
