Fallen (1998)


A homicide detective witnesses the execution of serial killer, but soon after the execution the killings start again in the style of the executed murderer.

A great cast of stars and good production value can't help to make the story less silly.

Halliwell (no star): "A supernatural thriller that offers little in the way of frisson: the Devil may have the best tunes, but he still has the worst films."

Maltin**: "Hybrid of supernatural and cop-thriller genre doesn't pay off, despite creepy atmosphere and solid performances. It takes much too long to get where it's going, and the finale subverts the film's own "ground rules.""

Bryce Dallas Howard


The Door in the Floor (2004)


A writer's young assistant becomes both pawn and catalyst in his boss's disintegrating household.

A marriage drama with some great performances, but a predictable plot.

On second view: still true, simply not that exciting.

Maltin***: "...moving, multi-layered drama. Despite superficial echoes of other stories, it has a feeling of its own...Bridges is at the top of his form."
