    Mmm...

    The story follows Cage, a down-on-his-luck movie actor haunted by the memory of his deceased career. He meets Julie, a spiritually gifted movie producer who enlists Cage in a desperate effort to find the lost profits of her comatose studio. But the spirit of Cage's dead career proves stronger, possessing the young woman's film budget and determined to sabotage her unfinished movie with the straight-to-DVD curse.

    5/10 So bad it's entertaining.

    Overrated with Fake Reviews

    The depressed truck driver Joe (Nicolas Cage), who grieves the loss of his beloved wife Mary (Lydia Hearst) and his daughter in a fire, meets Julie (Franka Potente) being suffocated by a man in a gas station toilet. He hits the man and rescues the woman, but she explains that her daughter Billie (Penelope Mitchell) is in coma and she needs to die since her spirit needs to save Billie. They head to the hospital, Joe helps Julie and Billie is saved. But soon they realize that Billie´s body was possessed by the spirit of Mary and they do not know how to fix the situation.

    "Between Worlds" is a lame film with terrible and messy melodrama, awful acting of Nicolas Cage and unnecessary long sex scenes. This overrated movie has many fake reviews to promote the flick, many of them with one or two lines, and is a waste of time. The manipulated IMDb is no longer a reference to movie lovers. My vote is four.

    I liked it. Funny, tragic, sexy, independant.

    This film is not like most others. That is a good thing if you consider most others are either Disney or Riefenstahlesque Superhero movies...

    Great acting, Potente is a solid actress, Cage was Cage (a good thing), Penelope Mitchell was intense and I did not now Lydia Hearst was also an actress! The supporting cast was on point and seemed fleshed out. Good job!

    The story was interesting, the execution was good. Here and there one could see that the production had some budget constraints, but everybody did a pretty fine job of working with those limitations.

    Cinematography and lighting were unconventional but gave the film a nice look and feel and were thankfully consistent. Editing was solid, there was only one edit that broke the flow (a double take on Cage).

    It was a film for me.

    Ghosts of Direct to Video Horror

    It's truly an incoherent mess with a haunted Lolita theme going on. Cage proves he's willing to take on a role in any video as long as he gets to be the lead and show off his bizarre facial expressions and suffering emotions. If you're into seeing a scruffy hobo Nick running around the house in tight underwear, and behaving like a sexually frustrated redneck trucker, high on crack and bourbon, then this is the movie for you. It's a surreal experience.
