There're a lot of great crazy ideas coming from the comic horror novel of the same name. There's enough weirdness and crazy visual to make Cronenberg proud. A drug called Soy Sauce has some weird effects. Then there's a Jamaican who seems to read your mind. John and David has to figure out what's happening with the help of Amy's missing hand.
The first half has some amazing things happening. It'll leave you scratching your head while keeping your eyes locked on the screen. It's not obvious what's going on, but strange apparitions keep coming.
The lead actor Chase Williamson is not the most charismatic actor around. It would be so much better to have a recognizable actor in the role. Paul Giamatti needs to find somebody on his contacts.
The second half is way too much. It goes to another set of explanations where it rushes through a whole lot of story. Somebody is obviously trying to jam a big book into an indie movie. It's way too ambitious. The story loses cohesion and collapses from story overload.
